Finally got to see @dannyrobins.bsky.social ‘s 2:22 tonight. This completes the (un)holy stage trio of Woman In Black & Ghost Stories that I’ve taken (dragged?) my chums to over the last couple of years… and this last one was fantastic. Incredible play and excellent to watch with a live audience! 👻👻

Anxious (!!!) playing Dust in Brighton at 1am on a Saturday night (ahem, Sunday morning). What. A. Show. Amazing.

21 years after getting lost on LA public transport and missing their show, I FINALLY saw hellogoodbye live. They were freakin’ rad. Bought Forrest a double brandy. Did a dance. Got a signed LP. ❤️ (Vinnie Caruana was also ace - what a voice! - and obvs. Armor For Sleep smashed it!). #brighton

Visited my dear chum Rash at his brand new record shop Dream Street Records today. It’s slap bang in Brighton’s North Laine and - as Rash so eloquently describes - “celebrates the significant, sometimes life-saving role that pop has played for generations of LGBTQ+ people”. dreamstreetrecords.co.uk

My pal @carlaspeedmcneil.bsky.social asked me why there are no clear villains in Ghibli films, and figured I would share my answer with everyone: In Japanese folklore, all things are double-souled. They have an aratama (rough soul) and nigitama (gentle soul). (1)

Blistering set from Deafheaven tonight. “Winona” sounded 🔥🔥🔥

Turnstile. Rain. London. Legendary. #OutbreakFest

I can’t really explain just how much The Starting Line mean to me and my friends. Incredible gig tonight ❤️

At a Buffalo Tom gig at Town & Country in London in the '90s, J Mascis was hanging w/us in the dressing room in his typically laconic way. But then George Wendt popped his head in to say hello, J rose out of his chair and exclaimed, “NORM!” I've never seen him as animated before or since. RIP NORM!

Everyone breathes a sigh of relief they don't have to go to a country bombing hospitals.

Black moss in the shape of a skull is growing on a tree in St Mary de Haura Church’s graveyard in Shoreham-by-Sea.

This beauty arrived today. 20th anniversary pressing! Gah, to be young again!

Started yesterday by taking the kids to see Flow (❤️🐈‍⬛) at the cinema; ended yesterday in a pub watching a man channel the energy from a medieval skull found in a badger’s sett into a modified dowsing rod. Standard Easter holiday fare.

The dark side of the Moomins... Tove Jansson’s beloved stories, which turn 80 this year, are not cute: they are angry tales of apocalypse and breakdown. 📕 Frances Wilson on the Moomins

Giving the Top Secret! OST a spin this morning. What a soundtrack (all performed by Val Kilmer)! What a film! Rest well Val. #SkeetSurfin

New albums from Deafheaven & NYX today; opposite sides of the musical spectrum but both flippin’ aces! 🤘🏻
