I am currently going through a play-your-entire-record-collection-in-order challenge (with certain caveats). I have to say that The Adult Net were criminally underrated.

I ran a bring-your-own vinyl afternoon last Sunday. Somebody brought this along. It goes without saying that they were my favourite person in the room.

Not to be outdone by Duran Duran, Bananarama & Erasure, the goddess that is Annie Lennox has now set off on her epic journey from Scotland to Things Happen Here in Devon for tomorrow's 80s Night. 8-11pm.
Here's the *actual* footage.
I told her to bring a coat. She wasn't having any of it. Hardcore.

My daughter started an Art Foundation course this week. You would thinkparticipants would be fully engaged in popular culture. But - she was chatting to another young person, and they'd never heard of The Smiths or Joy Division. How is this even possible?!

I was in the cafe with my mum and glanced through at the books. 'Surprised' doesn't come close!

Just heard that Andy Bell from Erasure is on his way to 'Into the Groove' tomorrow night! His mates from Duran Duran, Bananarama & Spandau Ballet told him what a great time they had; he's got a serious case of FOMO.
Let's hope he can make it for 8pm. Here's *actual* footage of his journey. Respect!

No rabbit hutch about it
I bought it off the baptists
I get the bills
And I get miffed
At the damn polyester fills
The interior is a prison unconscious"

Tomorrow night 8-11pm at Things Happen Here, Dartington, Devon there's a FREE gig with headliners Bramwell, who are very reminiscent of early Fall.
I'll be DJing too, in possibly the only mother-son DJ partnership around.
Come along & support grassroots music

Idea for band merch: most gigs I've been to recently have an upper size limit of A4 for bags. Totes are too big.
I'd buy a branded, gig-compliant bag.
