Teacher. Music fan (CD, vinyl). Politics (left leaning/re-joiner/anti-Tory, anti-Farage, anti-Trump). Taking a second chance to make a first impression.
David Ford, tonight at Union Chapel. I believe my 9th time seeing him live, either solo, with Easyworld or @anniedressner.bsky.social. This was hus best yet, playing his debut in full with a band and the definitive versions of Pour a Little Poison and Song For the Road. @davidfordisdead.bsky.social

It's good there's a Riyadh comedy festival because now we know who all the truly shitty pieces of shit are. Disappointingly, they include Jimeoin. But at least now we know

Sorted out some of my recent vinyl acquisitions.
Er, I appear to have a few duplicates 😆
People who have had more time to listen to music than me: What should I listen to first?

I asked ChatGPT to write an anti-love poem in the style of Morrissey lyrics in which the speaker was angry with something random. In the end, I settled on this.
I call it: I Rue The Zoo, And You #HappyValentinesDay

I asked Gemini to re-write the lyrics to the Gladiators theme tune to be about speculating.
Disappointing, no sign of the line, "Are you a speculator?" However the disclaimer is a nice touch. 6.5/10
