Oh Hearts…. 😢

Total apathy towards an FA Cup final between two soulless corporate bankrolled teams.

The Wonderfools has got a definite Stranger Things vibe - moreso than the comedic blurb it was given.

Park Eun Bin is just so good an actress.

Liking the new Willow Avalon/Kaitlin Butts single. Tastelessly excellent.

Clive Lewis talking sense again.

Seeing lots of friends at Emmylou Harris gigs - seen her twice and was disappointed both times. First time the show seemed like she was going through the motions. Second time (in Nashville) her voice was a pale shadow of what it once was. Reading good reports though, so I was probably just unlucky.

The Scottish football tonight has been hugely entertaining.

Not sure whether to watch the Hearts or Man City game….

Horace Trahan is my current favourite Cajun musician - as much for his bravery in constantly raising his head above the political parapet as for his music.

"Well, that was rather awkward." - Me, after approximately 93% of my social interactions.

Perfect campaign ad for the upcoming Midterms. 👌

I’m not watching the Eurovision Song Contest this year. To be fair, I’ve probably not watched it since my gran had a thing for Brotherhood of Man.

Dan Stuart has just sent out the 8th “Letter from America” to the folks on his mailing list - he’s a great writer, even if you don’t know his musical background.

First full band meet up for a couple of years tonight. Health issues have slowed us down, but after 30 odd years together the bonds are hard to break. We’ve pencilled in a rehearsal.

The wildly rotating Stones.

So should people of all ages.

I quite fancy Simon Reeve’s job - or Michael Portillo’s TV series job - or even the guy who runs the Man in Seat 61 website’s day job.

Definitely a foul though.

Talk about drama at West Ham vs Arsenal….

What I did while flued up soundcloud.com/the-credit-c...

Laid low with the flu. I just want to sleep.

It always amuses me when Bandsintown sends me notifications (“You won’t want to miss..”) for gigs that I’m the promoter of.

Embracing racism is not a way to restore pride, it’s a way to restore racism. It’s not a path to glory, it’s a path to repressed shame and having to lie to yourself, ever more desperately, about who you’ve become.

I’ll be getting my state pension just in time to leave the country.

Well at least there’ll be some interesting photography to be done if Reform win in 2029. Until they send us to the concentration camps.

Today I am mainly catching up but have wasted a lot of time trying to get through to UPS, whose website and app are horrendously unhelpful and inaccurate.

Crazy isn't it Jeremy Corbyn's Labour party had an 'antisemitism crisis' and now Zack Polanski's Green Party does. While Nigel Farage's Reform party, with Nigel Farage and loads of Nazi lovers, doesn't. It's like it's some kind of scam used against Left Wing parties.

This ref in the Bayern/PSG game is as bent as a nine bob note.

Looks like I might be getting some pics in Uncut magazine again.

So, the news about the Mavericks continuing - with Robert Reynolds back on bass - is out. Was told this from an inside source a couple of weeks ago and have kept tight-lipped… not sure about this, but wish them luck.

On the Kilkenny-Dublin train.
