My late friend Nick from school misheard Fits Like A Glove by KISS (rather more poetically) as This Life Of Love. He died when we were both barely 20, I still think about him though. We were kind of heavy metal buddies throughout school, teaching ourselves to play guitar as we went. 1/2

Can a dentist’s corridor not be liminal? It seems impossible

One of the hares at the back was foraging and frolicking with a rabbit just now, never seen that before.

Venus and Jupiter seem to be creeping ever close to each other, I hope you can see them wherever you are

There’s nothing quite like that feeling of discovering your new favourite thing is there? I’m loving The Magnus Archives!

I’ll probably be posting and reposting Anthony Head related content for a while I think

"To forgive is an act of compassion, Buffy. It's-it's… it's not done because people deserve it. It's done because they need it." This is one I think about a lot.

Gridlock is one of my absolute favourites from that era; Planet Of The Dead was extremely light but at least Michelle Ryan looked great; I definitely agree that Wild Blue Yonder is a modern classic; Fear Her is just a dud for me, I struggle to like anything about that one.

Poison Ivy 🖤

The Twilight Horse

This always makes me feel really good. The verses are pleasantly unsettling, then it kicks up several gears for the chorus! The excellent “Blisters” EP got a lot of attention at the time (2000), although an ill advised cover of Britney’s “Crazy” signposted that things had gone awry…1/2

One of those songs that makes you sad and happy in exactly equal measure…goodnight everyone.

Anthony Head was an Ambassador for Battersea Dogs and Cats home for more than two decades. Thanks for everything Tony x

The 90s embodiment of a Hammer archetype (tweed jackets, signet ring, occult knowledge), with a hellraising, psychedelic rock-worshipping past, mentoring a teenage girl without being paternalistic or creepy. I wish we could watch the spin-off series Ripper tonight 💔

I’m gutted, I really am.

I like basically any version of this song but this is my favorite

Quagmire is one of the all time greats for me, it’s so good.

I’ve just been outside, the wind is blowing and a chill rain slapped my bare arms. I was grinning my head off

I just saw a hare playfully chase a pigeon 😆

"Night in blue" by Ukrainian artist Alisa Onipchenko-Cherniakovska.

How wonderful! A package from Austria and it’s that Fields Of The Nephilim cd I’d almost forgotten I ordered. It’s had an interesting life by the looks of it. I would describe it as “adorably battered”. As long as the disc plays, I’m happy 🖤

Venus and Jupiter are really close tonight, I hope you can see it

A freezing March moon glaring through bare branches. I forgot to post it at the time. It might make some of you feel a bit cooler.

Soft tears of rain come to the field. The ghost soil answers their call. Voices of the buried dead drift towards its edge, whispering harsh prophecies. For this is strange England and its conversation of constant augury. This is the now bullied spirits of then and tomorrow. – #DAKilroy, 1982

Awake at five a.m. Time for an Alan Garner poem

Today’s album. Is it better than the first one? I can’t decide!

I sometimes think we made a big mistake leaving the sea

Greetings from York Pride!

+ 'MID CENTURY' IDENT CLOCK + Produced as a recent commission, we are making a very limited run of these handcrafted wooden clocks available to pre-order later today. 10 will be available via our mailing list at 1pm (link in the bio to sign-up) with another 10 going live at 6pm via our online shop.

There are some accounts that I fully support in principle, but they post and repost so often that it floods the timeline if I follow them

Twin Peaks: Handwritten, ’This is the diary of Laura Palmer’.

The weekend is upon us, and well deserved too. Enjoy! 🍻

Today’s album: Mirror Moves by The Psychedelic Furs. It’s a long way from the first three albums…any post punk/alternative edges have been completely sanded off. Most of the music could be anyone from 1984, until the vocal comes in and alchemises it into the magic that is the Furs. 1/2

My cactus is enjoying the heat anyway

The reason that AI art will never be any fucking good is that it was developed by an industry that runs on messianic overconfidence, with the aim of simulating the output of various creative industries that rely on overcoming self-doubt and insecurity to produce work of any worth.

Life’s pretty beautiful, but sometimes you have to really want to see it.
