Happy 40th birthday to Cruiser’s Creek by The Fall, released on this day in 1985 #FallFriday (Thread)

With a little time looking out the window I checked the old shows on the Fugazi website and saw the flyer for the band I played in, Sunday 16th September 1990 at the Belfast Art College. Those were the days. The joke was we should have been called Unsigned.

#NowPlaying Bob Dylan - Through The Open Window The Bootleg Series Vol. 18 1956-1963 Having shown remarkable restraint since the conclusion of the #TescoBob series, I have finally succumbed and dipped my toe in The Bootleg Series. Really interested to hear the very early recordings on here.

I was in First Press today and picked up this very nice Spacemen 3 Hypnotized 12" for a tenner.

Dear The BBC, I have never watched an episode of The Traitors, celebrity version or otherwise. Can you please stop banging on about it on your news platform?

Who robbed the Louvre? Right answers only.

Philip K. Dick will be remembered as one of the most important authors in history because he saw all of this coming.

Alexei Sayle's Stuff (20th October 1988). "Well, we apologise for the absence of Alexei Sayle in this week's edition of Alexei Sayle's Stuff. We're attempting to right the problem, but in the meantime the programme will continue in Leslie Crowther only".

How did I read this news a week ago and not shout: "MTV GET OFF THE AIR!!!" www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The book isn’t out until January in Ireland and March in the States, but if you’d like a copy eventually here is the pre-order discount code. I’ll share it again and have some launches planned in Bellaghy, Belfast and Dublin for late Feb/ early March. Do come along, I’d be glad to see you.

Tony Hart was born on October 15th, 1925… 100 years ago today.

At 1,100+ pages, I may have bit off more than I can chew in Waterstones today, but I'll take it slowly.

I used this family tree as a reference for creating my long-defunct Fall Line-Ups web page around 1996. Later it was mentioned in the sleeve notes of Stewart Lee's '90s Fall compilation, A Past Gone Mad. So I got my name on a Fall album. Spelt wrong, but still, my name's on a Fall album. #FallFriday

Bertrand Belin sings (croons) so slowly that my standard of grade B O'Level French can actually pick out bits of his lyrics

#NowPlaying Polygon Window - Surfing On Sine Waves

That was such a beautiful evening with Edwyn Collins at the Royal Festival Hall. Will share some more pics and vids tomorrow, but here's one of Paul Cook, Edwyn, Dennis Bovell and Vic Godard at the end of the show

Valedictory (with several special guests) but vital night of tunes that saved our lives with Edwyn Collins at Royal Festival Hall. Wealth of Orange Juice classics, Collins’ croon as rich as ever & impish humour still intact. Wonderfully, James Kirk joined Edwyn for encore of ‘Felicity’ & ‘Blue Boy’

The first episode of 'Monty Python's Flying Circus' was shown on BBC1 on this day in 1969.

A fun night in London's Royal Festival Hall with Edwyn Collins and band, plus guests-Dennis Bovell on The Wheels of Love, Paul Cook and Vic Goddard on A Girl Like You and James Kirk and Steven Daly of Orange Juice on Felicity and Blue Boy. Simply Thrilled, Honey!
