Never seen a bad Patti Smith gig! She’s absolutely magnetic. Ahh, this one completely passed me by :( Just looked at the setlist with all those Television covers! Alice Cooper also wheeled out Depp for an encore earlier this year, which maybe made more sense but was still no less unwelcome…

👍 Hoping to catch it there in the week… I await your verdict!

Tenebrae intro tape for Blood Incantation… 👹🎃🤘

Mike Winship @mikewinship.bsky.social · 4d

Well, it only came out at the pictures today… :-/ It’s showing at the Rio tho!

🙀

Mike Winship @mikewinship.bsky.social · 10d

Agreed. I am somewhere in the darkness left of frame there… :)

Biggles was the first film we ever rented on video! From Revolver Video (I think) on Gosforth High Street... Pretty sure I was underwhelmed. Had forgotten it was a sonic weapon, would be intrigued to hear that again…

What a line-up (IYKYK) #AGatheringOfTheAngels

Lynch Creatives panel at the Gathering of the Angels festival

Yeah, I guess. The nighttime scenes I did like in particular.

Mike Winship @mikewinship.bsky.social · 18d

I liked it, but I was maybe mis-sold (or I’d misinterpreted it) as being more sci-fi than it was. Fully on board with its themes etc, and the kids were fun to hang out with, but I dunno, it was perhaps too reserved/measured in execution. But yes, it did look great!

I am also seeing Happyend at 17.20! (Different cinema, obvs). Though they don’t show ads, so I guess I’ll be slightly ahead of you…

Enjoying being in the spritely/youthful demographic of this Michael Rother gig.

Water Damage, a highlight of Supersonic, even better at Oto tonight! Also, broke the abstinence & had 3 pints :-/

This superseded the Supersonic performance! Sorry not to see you after, but we’ll enthuse at a future time I’m sure… :)

Mike Winship @mikewinship.bsky.social · Sep 1

Yeah! I’m yet to try a “sesh” with them. Could have happily stayed for more last night but then the lack of alcohol meant much better clarity in the “actually, time to go” decision… :)

Mike Winship @mikewinship.bsky.social · Sep 1

I don’t drive, but I do like not having hangovers! My girlfriend has quit for good, so it was partly solidarity, but I’m back to work this afternoon so that also played a part in the decision. It was pretty easy & I still had a great time! Ended with an AF pale ale as a treat before bed :)

First time not drinking at a festival (Supersonic) and not staying until silly hours at the afterparty & I have to say that feeling this fresh on a Monday is something I could/should get used to… Other benefits: no time lost queuing at the bar or getting annoyed when they run out of beer…

Snap! We were there earlier. Did you do the Ozzy exhibition too…?

I think I liked Moin more than I was expecting to, but their set certainly felt much longer (derogatory) than Water Damage’s…

Mike Winship @mikewinship.bsky.social · Aug 29

Haha, well I guess it does help to have less tempting brews around

Mike Winship @mikewinship.bsky.social · Aug 29

Get the most out of the day, huh? Wendy has quit booze & I’m going to attempt a dry festival, so we’ll maybe even see you that early!

Mr G, will we be seeing you and/or your wife (Mrs G) this weekend? (Either at SS or on the periphery)
