Happy 45th birthday to one of the greatest albums of all time. Talking Heads released Remain in Light on this day in 1980

Wildly excited about seeing @edwyncollins.bsky.social not once but twice in next few days. A real hero of mine. Found a few of my old fanzines and a family heirloom with an Orange Juice flavour this morning

Released 40 years ago today, how it all came about could fill a book. Soon forgotten at the time by all but a few. Always grateful for the love still out there though, what a difference (a mere) four decades makes 😄

did he say anything about live shows Pete?

Guy Osborn @guyosborn.bsky.social · Sep 8

Unbelievable band- and yes probably even better now than when I first saw(and loved) them

Guy Osborn @guyosborn.bsky.social · Sep 7

Superb! And I'll listen out

Guy Osborn @guyosborn.bsky.social · Sep 7

Pete is he thinking of any gigs?

Happy birthday to Maxine Brown. Here she is performing Oh No Not My Baby live at the Bitter End in NYC in 1968 (with a young Bernie Worrell on piano). The full song and interview is at youtu.be/UtY1Jj9uppU

All good things to factor in- also can you store tools
There and and cycle etc - maybe the boy will enjoy being there- mine did until they were about 8

All sounds doable - go for it if you think it's manageable. Another key thing- how far from house

Guy Osborn @guyosborn.bsky.social · Aug 17

If small it's probably doable - I had one which was I think 10 poles in my 30s and was too much so if small may be doable but don't overstretch -
ps see you at krank!
