Very sad to hear of the passing of Steve Soto, founder of the one of the best and most engaging bands I have ever seen live, @TheAdolescents. He won't be short of mourners: https://t.co/JGkUX9H4DP

Having a record only pressed up for Record Store Day #RSD18 is like owning one of those commemorative dinner plates offered in the back of Sunday supplements. "To honour Lady Diana, this once in a lifetime..."

[Danny Baker @prodnose]

Record Store Day #RSD18 is a racket. A fuckin' racket. Just press up hundreds of copies for these stores you vampires. What's with this stupid treasure hunt? Its so much less about indy stores than creepy eBay limited editions. Fuck off Record Store Day.

The only positive memory I have of Sid Vicious is being in a club called Country Cousin that used to be on the Kings Road.
Me: What time is it?
SV: Fuckin' no idea. no idea.
Me: But ABOUT, what is it about?
SV: I dunno. Tuesday?
Always thought that was Withnail worthy.

I think the interviewer in the Morrissey interview is partly to blame. I, for one, would like to have heard from some of the other patients.

This scene is everything. Performance, relevance, brilliance. Super funny too of course.

Gig 14 2018: @dinosaurjr at Roundhouse Camden. Just what you’d expect really. Still awesome. Played those classics Freak Scene, The Wagon etc etc.

[Jon Gerlis @JRGerlis]

@dinosaurjr @RoundhouseLDN was sensational. Not a fan of over phone use at gigs but couldn’t not capture the genius that is @LouBarlow

Not a dry eye in sight. #RikMayallDay
