I used to work with a guy who was forever trying to get young women to read his autobiography, which he had titled A Hero’s Journey

Parish gossip remains strong. Folk ask: "If the Mountford chapel has been emptied of bodies, why is it still so ghost-plagued?" No sermon I give quietens it in pew or pub. No words I speak against the phantoms lessens their hold. Rumour possesses people if not actual shades. – Rev. A.G. Bodkin

Post a pic of the venue where you saw your first concert and the band or artist.

This part of the year is always strange. You wake up, alarm or not, in the dark and your brain is telling you it’s the middle of the night, go back to sleep. It happened this morning, still dreaming, something to do with someone’s YouTube channel about a nuclear holocaust. It turns out to be 7:45am.

Jupiter is the only thing bright enough to be seen through the haze tonight, hope you can see it at least

It’s Friday, here’s one of my favourite songs ever 🖤 youtu.be/l4uzAADWe00?...

Gods, the light was so perfect here yesterday

If you see this, post a vampire that isn’t Dracula.

Certain lanes force you to straddle two worlds. You walk with modernity of Dutch elm disease, pylon hum on one side, the other full of gates into ancient fields, the ghosts of old hedge witches. Despite this polarity, you never get a sense of the lane picking a side.– #MattAdams, 1981

On Wednesdays We Wear Black 🖤

Someone in my first year at college asked who my favourite band was, so I told him without hesitation The Cure. He repeated it back to me, clearly disgusted. He pronounced “cure” like “skewer”. He turned out to be a big fan of Midge Ure, which he pronounced the same way

"I have kindly removed this superfluous cover from your speaker. Who knows why it was there? I think you will find you can hear the sounds coming out of it more clearly now. You are welcome."

A great post-Christmas exercise is attempting to move the wheelie bin full of festive empties

++ #OTD the 6th of Jan 1979, Kevin Cummins, took the iconic pictures of Joy Division, on the bridge on Princess Parkway, #Manchester ++ A young band, still then yet to break through, with the world at their feet, whose effect on the trajectory of music is still felt today. #joydivision #postpunk

I loved their version of this

The moon is still outrageously bright, and at nearly 8am Jupiter is clearly visible and pin bright just above the horizon

Moonlight and The Tor this morning. Quick phone shot that doesn't do it justice but it is so pretty.

all this is both foolish and unnecessary

One of the problems with an ADHD brain, is that things seldom seem right. It can seem like everyone knows how to live life except you.

Cheers all. I’ll be in the beer TARDIS if anyone asks.

A very long and important THREAD - The real reason the US is invading Venezuela goes back to a deal Henry Kissinger made with Saudi Arabia in 1974. And I'm going to explain why this is actually about the SURVIVAL of the US dollar itself. Not drugs. Not terrorism. Not "democracy." 1/

Entrance to the underworld

The first season was a surreal triumph, I’m always banging on about it. The cast was amazing.

The way that people my age post the comment “simpler times” with no irony whatsoever is really quite disheartening. This is the nostalgia trap happening in real time. Everything was apparently better “back in the day”, nothing to do with being younger at all, oh no

I thought it was the 90s there for a second

I have one goal at this point, to work on my impulse control. As an ADHD person this is something I struggle with a lot, most days. But I’m aware that if I learn to manage it better, perhaps one area at a time, many other aspects of my life will improve. I wish you all the very best with your goals.

A few haunting vistas from Fountains Abbey

The cafe at Fountains Abbey today was absolutely full of sturdy people in patterned jumpers, all of whom looked like they could survive a zombie apocalypse

On Wednesdays We Wear Black 🖤🎉

May I respectfully suggest that we congratulate ourselves on surviving another year? How resilient are we! If anyone wants to devote energy to “decluttering” their lives or whatnot, I say good luck to you. Personally I’m just profoundly grateful to still be here…irritating the people around me

Introduce yourself with 5 concerts you’ve seen: 1. Motörhead 2. Siouxsie And The Banshees 3. The Cure 4. Electric Wizard/Cathedral 5. South Arcade

“I’m only faking when I get it right”

Seeing as we’re now in the crosshairs of a new year, if anyone fancies a free tarot reading DM me. Think about what you’d like to ask specifically and I’ll do you a reading.

Not only did I manage to replace my long lost 1978 Alice paperback with an almost identical copy, it arrived in a repurposed mince pie box. How festive is that.

I thoroughly enjoyed watching the 2016 Ghostbusters again. Very underrated, worth it just for Kate McKinnon. And for “don’t ever compare me to the Jaws mayor!”

Sad news from Cure world.

The most withering tv review I ever saw was in The Guardian in the early 90s. It said: “Phil Cool continues his brave one-man crusade to purge comedy of any corrupting element of humour”

In Icelandic folklore Jólakötturinn, the Yule Cat, comes to eat those who do not wear their new clothes for Christmas. In this image, you can see somebody did not put on their new Christmas sweater. Or perhaps even more unfortunately, no one got them one! More ... 👇
