Lover of popular music but always wanting to find out more. That golden period between 1978 and 1985 is where my heart lies but always willing to try something else. https://open.substack.com/pub/daveross100?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android&r=293r7s

Being given access to Justin Currie's Tremolo Diaries has been a privilege. I just hope my review does it justice. Thanks to @peteselby.bsky.social for trusting me with it. @newmodernbooks.bsky.social

Guys who've been playing professional darts all their adult lives. They're great. Top 0.00001% in the world. But they're not good enough when Littler is at it. Professional sport is hard.

4 tins of this watching the darts. This is my best life...

The Jimi Hendrix Experience

Spanish Castle Magic

This clip shows Jimi's command of a guitar in glorious close up while Mitch and Noel provide all the backing he needs and more. A phenomenal 7 minutes.

At the end of the summer season Cheltenham Lido drains down the pool and re-fills for winter cold water swimming. But before that, they open it to dogs for the weekend. It's Mabel's favourite day of the year.

I missed this yesterday, but Greg Wilson’s top 10 floorfillers for each month in 82/83 are glorious. I ripped them from Soundcloud / Mixcloud many years ago and listen to them all the time

I'd love to know what every comedian who played the Riyadh Comedy Festival thinks of this piece by Jonathan Liew. It's an electrifying read. And really hard to think what any counter-justification from the participating comics would consist of. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

We know what the comedians got out of the Riyadh comedy festival. What about the Saudi regime? | Jonathan Liew

The tawdry event was an ultimately doomed attempt by the Saudi government to buy the kind of authentic grassroots culture it is unwilling to countenance, says Guardian columnist Jonathan Liew

Wonderful. He's so good. Last night he even managed to capture the absolute essence of an incredible darts match....

littler v price in the grand prix tonight comfortably the best thing i've seen on television all year. it's better than anything i've read or listened to. comfortably outstrips entire fields. eg: country music, ballet, sculpture. it deserves a book that would immediately be rendered unworthy of it

Stars Of CCTV by Hard Fi. Pretended I got it for my teenage sons. Probably following a Saturday morning watching Soccer AM. How much regret do you want?

Mitch Mitchell plays off against Hendrix's leads the way a jazz drummer might, doing way more than keeping the beat.

I went up for the Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Saturday night was the most feral sporting atmosphere I've ever experienced.

On a side note I love Wayne Mardle especially the way he chases the flow of the match but never makes the right call. "He's gone here" 180... It's extraordinary
