Clearly, yes! I can't imagine theatres not letting people know when a play starts, why should this be different? THEN we could bring gig times earlier and public-transport friendly.

Wow, bass recorders are less instrument, more downspout.

It's 7 years ago I saw @thebeths.bsky.social for the first time in Miles Platting, M40. Of course it was top notch, but no idea how this booking unfolded.

You know it's going to be a good day when @hannahpeel.bsky.social crops up every hour on Radio 4 news - for the right reasons!

4 years ago since Lætitia threw a gurn my way in Levenshulme. @stereolabgroop.bsky.social

Piss poor week so far. A rainbow in the sludge is tonight though, in the form of 🌈 @kathrynjoseph11.bsky.social 🏵️ at the Deaf Institute. Then I remembered how much a pint is in there. ⛈️

Beautiful.

Pogotastic night with Pom Poko / @beachbunnymusic.bsky.social on Monday at Albert Halls, 0161. Got myself in the pit, obviously.

Cut ups and freak outs, Crimewave and @nojoy.bsky.social at Yes, Manchester; neither nomenclature were present, lovely night. Apologies, my snaps poorly represent Jasamine's knock-off Aphex Twin socks, but they were excellent!

It's the anticipated @nojoy.bsky.social's Manchester-Wednesday-day today. Go pick a spot in Yes's basement and get some.

@thorharris.bsky.social too good

The Middle East (not that one!) casually drop a new song, first in 14 years? open.spotify.com/track/0prhsQ...

Pretty special weekend - Roy Harper at the Bridgewater, Oasis at Wembley. Belting shows, the both; pure enjoyment.

@thorharris.bsky.social Another one for the life-goal map.

@thorharris.bsky.social Oof!

Reading the obits, seems like I have a lot of decent films to catch up on. RIP Robert Redford.

@wowhaus.bsky.social Did you see the Salford gem? www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/1...

Go'ed la! Eh! Eh! Eh? Eh! etc

Boy this was a loong weekend - InTheCity 1998. Definitely did Add N To (X) Saturday, Star & Garter NoFi punk on Sunday, Duruttis Monday and @the-delgados.bsky.social on Wednesday. Avoided "The Coldplay" at least, but would love a time machine to go see Drift again. www.aidan.co.uk/eyewitness-i...

@nojoy.bsky.social think you may make a killing printing up Buff Sober Dad shirts for the UK tour...

Piano back-flip: 9/10

Well, these chaps look a tad familiar, @marcrileydj.bsky.social. I don't think a session is in order but need to get them gig down this way!

Photo of Mimi popped up on photo memories. 🙏

More on-trend, biting journalism from Reach Media.

Little jaunt over the hills to the Trades last night to see old mate Dawn Landes. Didn't have visiting the house-next-door on the expected itinerary though.

Good luck in Cardiff, lads!

@davelauchlan.bsky.social Been a while since I've read it, but yes!

It's becoming insufferable already. Send #thoughts&prayers to us in Manchester. This is #2 on the MEN news page:

Same chap - Roger Kastel www.rogerkastel.com/gallery.htm

Never heard of him before, but this Brian Campeau track is dollops of lovely.

This new Young Gods album gets better. theyounggods.bandcamp.com/track/blackw...

Tom Brooke as the next Bond. Shane Meadows directing. These New Puritans do the theme.
