Breakfast in the local caff and they're playing an instrumental of Things That Dreams Are Made Of which is making me very happy 💙🎧

The lad who was sitting behind me on the train stinking of weed has just pulled a box of blag frosties out of his coat to munch on 😂

Cinema tonight #FilmSky

@peterlatimer6.bsky.social I have a spare ticket for Big Special & Gans, New Century Hall Manc on Friday 20 Feb. Let me know if you fancy it.

When the book you're reading tells you there's going to be a significant event, but in no way did you see what was going to happen until it happened. So now I've got tears streaming down my face and feel like my insides have been pulled out in front of me. Reading's great isn't it 😭😭 💙📚

Missed out on Super Furry tickets but they've been added to @endoftheroadfestival.com The gig gods are smiling down. Plus very happy to see Kurt Vile, Gans and PVA added to the line up 🙌💃🏻🕺🏼

My first gig of the year and what an absolute belter at Yes in Manchester for #IVW Gans brought the energy and the tunes. There were huge mosh pits, crowd surfing and a stage invasion. What a way to start the 2026 gig year.

January reading wrap 💙📚

Ended up with a conspiracy theory cabbie on way home. Asked me if I thought Paul McCartney died in a car crash, coz that fella has a completely different shaped face to Macca. Then asked if I believed the CIA killed John Lennon. Anyway, I'm home safe 😂

The smell of burning electrics at a gig 😬

Very decent of Yes to be playing Julian Cope between bands tonight

30th January 1649 Charles 1 was beheaded in Whitehall. A lost traditional but nonetheless Happy Beheading King Day!

Day from hell at work. At one point I was in a teams call when my landline, mobile and teams all started ringing at the same time. Only one way to feel sane, listen to some Italian disco 💃🏻🕺🏼 Ornella Vanoni - Ti Voglio youtu.be/b-RDIKRtNNM?...

Oh wow just been to see My Own Private Idaho. It's been so long since I'd watched it. 💔

Five concerts you've seen with women lead singers Brix and the Extricated Breeders She Drew the Gun Siouxsie and the Banshees Pip Blom

Doing the smugface dance as I'm just going over feedback from today's training and one participant has said my training was so much better than the NSPCC's 💅

Happy 80th birthday to Dolly Parton 👑 Love her duets with Miley youtu.be/fLH_g2L3pKU?...

Felt a slight tickle in the back of my throat so made a pot of rainbow veg soup with added chilli, garlic and ginger

Introduce yourself with five concerts you've seen #musicsky 1. Julian Cope 2. The Jam 3. Depeche Mode 4. The Fall 5. San Fermin

So he invaded a country, kidnapped their President and it was all so that he could get his tiny hands on the Nobel peace prize 🤷‍♀️

Holy hell, what an obituary

30 min break with coffee, vegan blondie and Beyonce on the playlist in the local caff might give me the kick up the arse to focus on the last couple of hours in front of the laptop

@peterlatimer6.bsky.social in case you've not seen it, Gans are playing Yes Manchester on 31 Jan

January and the return to work being made bearable by watching videos of a black kitten eating slices of ham fed to him from tongues. The growling is next level #HamGoblin
