Big fan of fanzines, Brenda Sweeney’s art (see orange/black abstract brutalism in background) and her taste for indiepop and 60s nooks and crannies - so Here’s Where You Belong, is entirely correct. You? brensweeney.bigcartel.com

Fanzine, issue 2. Comet Gain, The Pastels, St Etienne, Autocamper, The Wednesday Play, Corita Kent Art, Pastels Pop Quiz. Bargain for £5

Richard Hawley and his amazing band performing Coles Corner on Weston Super Mare’s Grand Pier last night.

From the opening note of the string section on the album’s title track, I may have had some grit in my eyes.

Music that could move mountains.

Exquisite ❤️

It’s a challenge for the WRU and URC that’s for sure. We suffered at the time with the loss of the Border Reivers. Still that issue with pathways for players at semipro level. Hawick played last night on BBC Alba and it looked dire both in terms of quality and atmosphere

Stormers are a quality outfit tbf.
That said, what hope do any of the Welsh teams have this year? Budgets cut, probable loss of teams, players etc.
A right mess and I wish it wasn’t happening

#CDFriday with Sky Meadows by The Pearlfishers. Haven’t heard a ton about these guys here in the states so I don’t know how big they are overseas, but they deserve significantly more recognition. Great pop stuff here that’s almost Roddy Frame esq to an extent. Definitely recommend! #NowPlaying

The magnificent Moodies. Picking this one because it shows what a great bassist the late John Lodge was. The little run he does during the Legend Of A Mind crescendo is a thrill.

I love them, they could be twee, they could be prog, they could be pop, sometimes all 3 in the one song.

Listening to The Pleasure Principle while reading the Gary Numan article in Electronic Sound and Asylum is superb isn’t it?

Only GN record I ever bought was Cars for my little brother trying to tempt him away from the Wombles and Star Wars theme album - on repeat 😆

People were wetting their pants waiting for him to become PM.
The rest if us knew he was a wrong ‘un.
Doubt any of the cheerleaders will be promoting this story much

Agree. Seems to be an energy and some dig. Surviving being down to 13 suggests we have enough in the tank if we can get a decent start to the second half. This isn’t the same Munster that dominated the Pro12/14 for many years

For a few years in the mid 80s I would spend Friday nights at places called Cinderella's or The Belvedere dancing the night away to bangers like this. Help me create an 80s Friday night clubbing playlist... Oh, and I'll have a Southern Comfort and lemonade please
