Music! Films! Sometimes football!
Excellent effort by Mojo making this CD look like a Smiths 7"!
Wonderful issue too and cd, the Alan Sparrowhawk song is new to me and really good.
Sad to read Johnny Marr was so tight with money regarding the Smiths rhythm section.

In a New Order mood this week so pulled this beauty off the shelf, what a brilliant magazine Select was!
Had half forgotten @divinecomedyhq.bsky.social 's Liberation was reviewed in here, a totally on the money review and look who reviewed it!

Full of super melodies and the great man often plays really hard here. He also seems really re-energised, and there's some fascinating lyrics.What's not to like?

Support band last night Studio Electrophonique really good! Think fans of Belle and Sebastian like @grahamh.bsky.social will like them.

The Divine Comedy marvellous last night in Bristol, super versions of many classics incl. Our Mutual Friend and Norman & Norma. The highlight though was a highly moving version of the new classic The Heart is a Lonely Hunter.
Small moan, no To The Rescue-their best song?

Saw this at the cinema today - superb! A brilliant, intelligent thriller. Emma Thompson owed me after the appalling Last Christmas and repaid with compound interest!

Well done to the 22 Spanish players who protested against this bullshit. Shame on you La Liga.

Ava Gardner and me 😊. In Tossa in Catalonia. Ava made a film here. Frank missed her so much he flew in halfway through filming.
Beautiful area.

Good to see huge posters for gigs again, haven't seen these since the late 80s! Fine band too. Well done Bristol!

It was lonely in the charity shop only asking for £1.50, what else could I do?!

A friend told me last month the Huey-less Fun Lovin' Criminals had a new album out, pleasantly surprised when I Spotted it that's it's really good! So I had to buy the cd 😊. The new guitarist is a good addition and the songs prove Fast must have had a big hand in the old classics.

Thanks to @tansleyjames.bsky.social for inspiring me to play my Electrafixion cd singles, been far too long! Didn't like the album but these are still so good 💗, some fine B sides too. Where are you on the band @douglashartley.bsky.social ?
Terrible name for a band it has to be said 😂.

Sumner and Marr show they are human after all, but Until the End of Time, Time Will Tell and How Long are glorious! Plus there's a couple of very good songs.

Teenage Fanclub absolutely wonderful last night! A highly talented band but you can also tell they love playing live and get on really well.
Frome is absolutely lovely too, full of independent shops and an arty, friendly atmosphere. Top notch venue too.

How do you write a debut album this amazing? Proof that pop can be highly intelligent. It also has beautiful melodies and an impressively original sound.
The definitive version of the superlative Your Daddy's Car though came with the live cd that came with Promenade.
