Today was a great day...5 'lifers' including a Sedge Warbler & a Cuckoo. But it was just lovely to be out in the sunshine & countryside. #birding

Let's be absolutely clear. The fault lies with... ...Venkatesham, Lange, ENIC, & several players who don't ever deserve to put the lilywhite shirt on, ever again. But...while the Cockerell is on the shirt, they will be my club, my only club. #COYS

To dare is to do. Now, I want the ownership gone, the board, & 3/4 of the players... ...bring back the passion, the flair, the heart. Let this be the point where I get my Tottenham back... #ttid #COYS

Get rid of the whole lot. You don't deserve to wear the shirt. Hopeless wasters. Worst team in my lifetime. Embarrassed. #whereismytottenham #coys

If you've not checked out Sworn, then do yourself a favour and rectify this oversight. So good. #metalsky swornnorway.bandcamp.com/album/a-jour...

If anyone who follows me voted Reform in the local election yesterday, please kindly unfollow me. Thanks.

OK, so hands up who thinks the song 'Limb of Leviticus' by Archspire is one of the best techdeath tracks ever penned?! Anyone? Can't just be me, surely?! #deathmetalsky #metalsky

Last week's listening - it was a 'prep for KarmoyGeddon' week & it sounded good! #metalsky #KarmoyGeddon

I am a chap of many contradictions...all day, I have listened to extreme metal. Tonight, I sip whisky & watch Paddington...oh yes! 🤘🤘 #metalsky

Where else to start the day, but with a blast of the new Archspire album, 'Too Fast To Die'? #deathmetalsky #techdeath #metalsky archspire.bandcamp.com/album/too-fa...

With KarmoyGeddon less than a month away, it's time to run through the line-up, re-visit some favourites & do some homework on the rest. Starting with Accept, a band I have hardly ever listened to before. #metalsky #karmoygeddonprep

Within a few minutes of the opening track, I may have ordered the hand numbered Ltd edition CD - this band is good! Very good! #metalsky bloodyvalkyria.bandcamp.com/album/requie...

What a killer album - with several passages that stop me in my tracks when I listen. For my money, I prefer it to the new one, but happy to be disagreed with! #metalsky @anabstractillusion.bsky.social anabstractillusion.bandcamp.com/album/woe

To explain how much I dislike the way my club is run, I had a chance to apply for a job at Spurs, the club I've supported for 38yrs. I didn't apply for my dream job, despite being fully qualified. Why? I won't work for them. Love the badge, hate the owners & board. I have principles. #COYS

Confirmed. It's De Zerbi. To be crystal clear, I do not want him at my club. If this backfires, the entire ownership & board must go, immediately. But they should have already gone, frankly. Embarrassing & hugely disappointing. #COYS @tottenhamhotspur.com

Is there a better feeling than being hit in the feels by an old favourite album that you haven't listened to in a while? It happened with two records recently...both are utterly killer! Vanden Plas & Tomorrow's Eve #metalsky

Again, it's a bit late, but this is what I listened to last week...that takes me to 330 albums spun this year so far...I'm not obsessed with music!! #metalsky

For the record, I do not want De Zerbi at Tottenham. Wrong choice, again. I hate the board & the owners, they refuse to listen to the fans & I have had enough. My club is dying.

It has to be Pochettino...no-one else. Get someone who knows Spurs to keep us up & then get Poch...back him, build something special. But the gutless, clueless board won't listen. #COYS

Yes! Tudor is gone! Finally. Now just the board to follow...or at least Venai & Johan. Hopeless. Time to get in Spurs people - those who love the club as much as the fans. #COYS #TTID

A little late, but here's what I listened to last week in case it triggers some inspiration! #metalsky

Come on you Spurs! #COYS #TTID

Nope, not feeling the new Exodus record...feels a bit...meh. Gimme "Tempo of the Damned" over this any day of the week. #metalsky #thrashmetalsky

Starting my day with the new Gaerea album 'Loss' - here's a band moving quickly away from their black metal roots, but I still like what they are pumping out! #metalsky #newmusicfriday

Ruddy love this record. That's why no.5 of 100 of the ltd edition A5 CD version sits proudly on my shelf. Melodic, atmospheric, and hard-hitting. Brilliant stuff! Bloody Valkyria - "In Our Home Across The Fog" #metalsky #blackmetalsky #supporttheartists bloodyvalkyria.bandcamp.com/album/in-our...

This will always be an all-tine favourite - Hecate Enthroned - "The Slaughter of Innocence...A Requiem For The Mighty" #nowplaying #blackmetalsky #metalsky

Now playing Withering Scorn - "Prophets Of Demise" - thanks to @signoftheblackmarc.bsky.social for the tip. Shame they're on Frontiers, but so far, they make a pleasing racket! #metalsky www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmXr...

Last week's listening - I went on a bit of an Enslaved bender, but lots more besides. My hope is it sparks a recommendation or two... #metalsky

Not the best pic, but very happy to see a male Bullfinch up close today in Edinburgh. #birding #birdwatching

Call me old fashioned, but even with extreme metal, there needs to be something memorable about the music. The latest Nile record, on that score, pales in comparison to "Black Seeds..." or am I alone in that view? #metalsky

Goodness me...a point?! Forgotten what a point felt like. I still hate Igor Tudor & the board, but I love the club & the badge. #COYS #TTID

Sat on a plane & sat next to a Gooner who keeps showing everyone nearby clips of recent games. I'm in the emergency aisle, so I *could* push him out of the door...I'd take my chances! 😂 #COYS

This really is very good... Drawn Into Descent - "Onrust" -atmospheric black metal that's memorable & harsh #atmosphericblackmetal #metalsky #blackmetalsky drawnintodescent.bandcamp.com/album/onrust

Calling all Edinburgh-based birders...I have this afternoon free in & around the city...where do I head for some birding? Recommendations, please #birding #birdwatching #birdsofbsky

That final long tom roll at the death of Dream Theater's "Breaking All Illusions" still gives me goosebumps & I've playing it a million times. The power of music. #metalsky #progmetalsky

As my Enslaved binge continues, I think I have my favourite album...hands down, "RIITIIR" is top of the tree for me. No question. #metalsky m.youtube.com/watch?v=ze38...

Not sure if I'm emotionally ready for this, but I have to listen to the new album from @vikramshankarmusic.bsky.social this morning. I'm going in...

Why is Tudor still in a job?! Seriously?

Starting my day with this rather nice album: Winterfylleth - The Imperious Horizon #blackmetalsky #metalsky winterfylleth.bandcamp.com/album/the-im...

Well, the silver lining is that Tudor will be fired in the morning. If he can take the owners with him & half the squad, that'd be great. Bring in Spurs people & remind us all of what this great club really is... #COYS #TTID #ENICout

Well, that's fitting, given that Norway is the home of black metal! #metalsky #Norwegian #stillcantspeaknorwegian

This is such an underrated gem...cracking melodic power metal from Finland, such a fun album. Twilightning - "Delirium Veil" #powermetalsky #metalsky www.youtube.com/watch?v=57gA...

Well, so far, it's 'Axioma Ethica Odini' that's on top of the pile...it may change...it probably will change...but shame on me for nearly forgetting how good Enslaved are. So consistent. #metalsky

Thanks to everyone for the Enslaved messages...already re-visited "Utgard", "In Times" & "Frost" - & I'm not finished yet! #metalsky

On a bit of an Enslaved binge all of a sudden. What's everyone's favourite Enslaved album? #metalsky

Last week's listening - 31 albums across a fair few subgenres that kept me going during a busy week. #metalsky

Oi, ENIC, get out of my club. You've destroyed my club. You're not welcome anymore. Sell up, get out & take 90% of the players with you. Pathetic. @tottenhamhotspur.com #ENICout #LewisOut

Up early to work whilst the kids sleep in - accompanied by Sunken - Lykke - a new name for me, part of my #2026musicaldiscovery - I like this - great atmospheric black metal #metalsky #blackmetalsky sunkendenmark.bandcamp.com/album/lykke-...

So far, this is my absolute highlight of the week's new releases - fantastic atmospheric black metal with bite. Drawn Into Descent - "Onrust" #blackmetalsky #metalsky drawnintodescent.bandcamp.com/album/onrust

Checking out Cryptic Shift - "Visitations from Enceladus' as today's #2026musicaldiscovery - not feeling it to be honest, just too bonkers & lacking memorability for me. #metalsky cryptic-shift.bandcamp.com/album/visita...
