Moon on my neck, I feel it come. I’m standing here, like a burning house.

A great reminder of his brilliance. I grow more convinced over time that we have lost one of the greats.

I’m now off to listen to the Telefís albums (which are also fantastic of course…)

Jim Ghedi brilliant at the Smokehouse, Ipswich tonight.
Lovely man - funny as fuck.
Couple of pics below (inc. tallest guy in the venue at the front 🤷).
Nice to catch up with @simonfinbow.bsky.social and compare ailments like old folk.

Having a bit of a @worldofechomusic.bsky.social week. Went there before gig on Monday, then realised I’d ordered two items online anyway 🤷
Excellent folks either way

Saw them support Spiritualized in May ‘92. Main memories are Richard in barefoot messiah mode, and that for Spiritualized we all sat on the floor (so presumably did for Verve too).

What a month that was (Fugazi was my favourite gig of all time)…:

Well…that was interesting.
Saw Storefront Church tonight.
Gig seemed pretty short (?)
Lukas started brilliantly - with added strings from support act FEN for incredible versions of The High Room & Words In The Rind, then he “played what the fuck (he) wants” - cue lots of shouting at the floor! 😳

@spaintheband.bsky.social were great tonight at John Peel Centre, Stowmarket. Got the whole of the 30 yr old The Blue Moods of Spain.

Lovely.

Exile In Guyville.

Picking these 10 ‘favourites’ from Exile In Guyville has made me realise that it’s one of those long (double?) albums where everything is important for the whole album - there’s not necessarily one banger. (see White Album, Superunknown)

Latest Maxine Funke (on homemade cassette).

One of the year’s best - I bought it on Bandcamp as just about my first album of the year, and now I have the vinyl too.
Nice.
