@weddingpresent.bsky.social Terrific show at the Garage last night. As much as I miss Melanie and Charles, the new drummer and bassist are excellent. Rachel might be the best guitarist I've seen in the band. Here's to another 40 years!
Book 25 of the year: Fundamentally by Nussibah Younis. A very sharp witted novel that tackles radicalisation, racism, friendship and faith along with the internal politics and bureaucracy of huge organisations. At times it's hard to believe this is a work of fiction. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
🎶O'er grassy dale, and lowland scene Come see, come hear, the English Scheme. The lower-class, want brass, bad chests, scrounge fags. The clever ones tend to emigrate Like your psychotic big brother, who left home For jobs in Holland, Munich, Rome🎶 #fallfriday youtu.be/skSfmmnbw5k?...
Edward lived with Mary Like sister and brother 'Til one night Men are this Men are that (DIY) Women too (DIY) Then there was three! (DIY) A new start (DIY) A weird wake (DIY) It all changed after Ed's Babe
Book 24 of the year: Everything Nothing Someone by Alice Carriere. A harrowing but brave narration of childhood neglect, drug abuse and mental illness, spurred on by pill prescribing professionals. It's a grim read at times but ends on a hopeful note.
Overrun by people from different cultures and religions..... like when the first pilgrims landed in what became the US? But they were white, so it was OK that they stole the land.
This is for all you guys who work on industrial estates Dresden dolls are back in style With a clockwork walk and a backward smile Dresden dolls don't hear a sound They're programmed to jump up and down Up and down Round and round Tapping feet to formless sound #fallfriday youtu.be/g2hd7Qu3Eb4?...
“I believe there's a new drug out It's called speed I wrote a song about it Conceptually a la Bowie But it's been lost in the bowels of the record company By our manager”
2001 Also Sprach Zarathustra Proliferating across the earth Pressure guilt Grudge match 1 2 cm Flak unit Range 1 Stroke 35 This is the spring without end This is the summer of malcontent This is the winter of your mind #FallFriday
I fell asleep amongst the boulders strewn between Glyderfach and Glydefawr and I saw in a dream, your charmless associates in a stretch limousine. They were plunging headlong into a ravine.
Book 23 of the year: The Happy Couple by Naoise Dolan. An intimate tale of a gouple headed towards their wedding day, with chapters seen from the viewpoint of bride, groom, best man etc The lives of the couple and 3 friends all intersect at the end. Decent holiday read.
