Should be at the My Bloody Valentine gig tonight but am over the wrong side of the Pennines for a wedding and staying at a hotel that doesn’t do a cooked breakfast.

Sucker for books about fictional bands. This is more about what it meant to be in a band, looking back thirty years. I liked how Pete Moran moved through the book like a ghost. His presence was felt whenever he was ‘on page’. Mark E Moon was standout. @northernmailman.bsky.social

Watching #TheCricket (no spoilers, please) and my main takeaway is that the TNT commentary team are absolutely dire. Not one of them can carry a broadcast.
