Fabulous My Bloody Valentine gig, power cut out during the middle of Soon, so after fixing they started again and same thing happened in the middle, so 5 minute delay before ready for the last 3 songs, even allowed Kevin to chat to us very briefly. All part of the MBV charm.

My favourite My Bloody Valentine song, at Aviva Manchester. Right up front this time but it didn't feel oversold at all. I used to play this track weekly on my radio program when it was first released. 🥲

Couldn't believe the size of the room (Aviva Studio Manchester but not a bit of it I've been in before) but My Bloody Valentine filled every corner with sound. Loud, yes, obviously but astonishingly clear. I'm actually no more deaf this morning than I usually am!

Not forgetting Maria Somerville, who was immense opening for MBV. Listen to how quiet, respectful the audience is! An Irish music fan in the queue behind me at the merch pop up recommended I catch her set; I replied I already loved her live and was pleased to see her in the immensity of a stadium!

Kev My Bloody Valentine spent time in front of his amp wall, creating those gorgeous amp sound tones. 5th person onstage with 3rd guitar and keys. The smoke machine was on overdrive (makes photography difficult). Swans like intensity of physical sound but never strident or overdriven. Pure pleasure.

If you are traveling to Manchester to see My Bloody Valentine & have time to spare before the gig then check out the wonderful People’s History Museum- it’s only a few minutes walk from Aviva Studios. Learn about societal change through organising & protest ✊ #mybloodyvalentine #peopleshistorymuseum

NP: Helicon's new single "Arise". I'm up north, I won't be at their London gig tonight, but I really wish I was. Their new material is outrageously good, both floating and full on, and I'd love to hear it through bass bins right now ha ha.
Today is all about the psych groove adventure that is @heliconglasgow.bsky.social - playing Oslo, Hackney tonight

Secret headliner guesses off the top of my head: John Cale/Charli XCX, MBV... I'm sure more will spring to mind!
You deserve more … PULP! The band that inspired a generation are coming to EOTR for the first time, hot off the heels of their stunning 2025 LP More and the 30th anniversary year of Different Class. Joining them: country-glam powerhouse CMAT and MAC DeMARCO, who’ll bring his signature slacker charm.

New Swervedriver remix of the Besnard Lakes, described as "Cocteau Twins meets Journey" but it's honestly not that bad. 😆 Arpgeggiated waterfall melodic guitars for the Cocteaus, and soloing lead guitar in the outro for Journey (well, maybe those soaring vocals too...) youtu.be/MCen5zcBCBo?...
