That’s ALL OUR STORY… in a nutshell 😂

Oddly someone gave me that album, on cassette, when I had a (short lived) job in a Plastic Factory… played it to death for months. I can’t get on with the more out there stuff but this is full of bangers.

Plastic Factory is a tune alright!

Ha! I’m going to say unlikely.
I would want the same level as that first UK tour at the Manchester Boardwalk. Ears still ringing.

Sam Lee at Hallé St Peter’s

We last saw him play these songs 18 mths ago, and after all that time touring the arrangements have got ever more droney, discordant and experimental. I very much approve. Splendid.

A ★★★★½ review of Gregory's Girl (1980)

Okay the 1970 male attitudes towards women are cringe making. Let’s get that out of the way first. However, John Gordon Sinclair’s titular gawky dreamer is a delight. Clare Grogan is luminescent. The ...

Car trouble unfortunately put paid to those plans. I’ve been nodding off for the past hour or so, so probably for the best.

Well today has been a disappointing washout but at least I got to Modern Nature last night. Which reminds me…

Things that tell you you’re too old for this shit part 1: when at the climactic part of the gig, your alarm goes off to remind you it’s time to take your blood pressure meds. I mean ffs…

This is a good plan

Aye, thanks. Had to rely on some geezer on YouTube showing me how to reset my gear box: then crawled home at 20. It might be okay but don’t want to risk getting stuck on a pennine mid-storm 😬

Last minute offer.
Car has just gone kaput heading to Manchester to see the Beta Band at the Apollo.Back home safely now.

Anyway I’ve got 2 tickets if anyone wants them. Think I can just directly transfer them from the o2academy app.
Rather someone got to use them.

For those accused of having too many books Robinince.com #poetry #poem

UNREAD
There in a stack
Of irresistible potential
Mainly unread
But don't ask
"Why do you still buy When so many words
are not touched by your eyes"
Because
before the spine is cracked
Without my fingers touching pages, the ideas leak and spread around the room Seep through the ears
And into the synapses while I sleep
Listen carefully
You'll hear the hum
Of future thoughts becoming present
