I’m writing a novel that’s very much influenced by 80s Alternative Music- would you like to follow my journey? 🖤

Great listen again from the Oh Brother podcast - Jim Glennie from James tells us how nicking drinks led to a fortuitous meeting with singer Tim Booth, how Chesney Hawkes probably is the nicest man in pop and how a van full of vegetarians has it’s issues #fallfriday

When my son was little, I couldn’t stand the idea of playing children’s music in the car so I used to play this for him and he absolutely loved it😂

Extract from my new novel TEEN ANGELS .
Meanwhile in Hells nightclub-

Jazz tried to scoff but faltered. Her gaze flicked to the DJ, then to the shadows where Mark E. Smith was holding court with a swarm of regretful ex-roadies.

“We are wasting our best material in here,” she muttered.

Meet Jazz — your new sarcastic, eye-rolling best friend who stomps her way into Heaven in Doc Martens, blasting her Goth playlist.
From my new novel TEEN ANGELS, Jazz is a force of nature fueled by hairspray and attitude — never afraid to go where other angels wouldn’t dare to tread . #80sMusic

If you're an OG fan of the Bunnymen you'll love this episode with Will Sergeant- gasp at how Echo the drum machine cost a weeks wages (£30) and laugh about how lead singers only carry grudges - never
equipment, maybe inspiring dressing room graffiti ? #fallfriday

This Nation's Saving Grace turns 40 today, released 23rd September 1985. Possibly The Fall's most popular album. It includes 'Bombast'. When pushed at a Q&A, Steve Hanley cited it as his personal favourite bass line.
