I went to Preston yesterday

I fancied a train journey, and everyone by ours was wearing a sand-coloured whistle for the Grand National, and carrying bags of Madri.

No shade, but, you know, I'm 54.

So to Preston we – me and my dad – went.

I liked it. Here's why.

OLD FINGERS

Where to put it? Maybe close to the fire? Sadly, a good hearth these days is hard to find.

Trip hop has aged incredibly well. Portishead, Tricky and Massive Attack sound great today. Name any other niche time specific genre that doesn't sound embarrassing and clunky 20 or 30 years after its heyday.

I could watch Will Sergeant’s mesmerising guitar playing all day long. He’s absolutely brilliant 🎸✨
Great night seeing the Bunnymen in Bristol!

And he’d managed to get hold of a Dukla Prague away kit
‘Cos his uncle owned a sports shop and he’d kept it to one side
And after only five minutes you’d be down to ten men
‘Cos he’d sent off your right back for taking the base from under his left winger

@Vintageboy2000 What a ace bit of kit! The cassette framing and glow is wonderful

Music and art!

Remember when David Blaine slept in a perspex box suspended over the Thames for a week and people just threw chips at him and called him a cunt?

Simpler times.

I nicked a pot plant from an All Bar One when drunk. Watered it for 2 years before discovering it was made of plastic. I have a PhD in Plant Molecular Biology.

@Vintageboy2000 Fantastic pictures!! I shot a roll of Ektar 100 a few weeks ago, Spooky! I tried it through a Canon Cannot. I’ll be sending it off to be developed soon and report back!

Foothold’s upcoming free webinar 25 July at 12pm.

This is a brilliant speech! Thank you Anneliese for being in all musicians corner, not many are.

[James May @MrJamesMay]

The Hawker Hurricane is woefully absent from VE Day imagery. Remember that, without it, Britain would have fallen and not been available as a launch-pad for the invasion.

It’s that simple. Suck it up, Spitfire fanbois. And gals.

Repeat please.

Fusion was born, and music hasn’t been the same since...
