Had a blast playing @CovMotoFest today. Loved the blazing sunshine (even if I might have spontaneously combusted if it got any hotter) and loved Stephen's bass chords on this.
Thanks to @RHalligan for inviting us to play.

In a fortnight’s time I will be living the site specific song dream of playing Rules Of The Coventry Ring Road on a stage above the actual ring road. We’ll be doing sets at 1:30pm & 3:40pm on the Saturday.
Thanks to @RHalligan & the @CovMotoFest team for making it happen.

Brandishing a ukulele and a headful of absurd comic songs and a repertoire stretching from the Coventry ring road to quantum physics, David has a song for every occasion #Coventry #localmusic #livemusic https://t.co/DSLP3Gh7wR

The combination of baked laminated dough to any other food stuff immediately makes it ten times as good. Or as A Tribe Called Quest might have said "Can I Croissant It? Yes you can!"

Ever wondered what a full series of #DrWho with Paul McGann as the Doctor would be like? How about if it had Richard E Grant playing #Withnail as his companion? Come on Russell T Davies you know the right thing to do. It would be bigger than the #MCU!

[David Goody @mrdavidgoody]

What is real? What is fake? What can we believe anymore until our #VAR overlords inform us of the truth that our own eyes can no longer tell us?
Welcome to the world of Existential Football.

To mark the 7th anniversary of untimely death of #Bowie I present this tribute to his masterwork. The song that is the genesis & corner piece of his creativity. Yes, I’m talking The Laughing Gnome.
It’s second only to Tin Machine,
and the advert he made for Lyon’s ice cream.

#FatherChristmas chose a bad year to ditch the #reindeer & he’s stuck at #Heathrow

🎶He got rid of the reindeer they were too pricey
🎶But he hasn’t got his elves using #DPD
🎶To bring joy to the world this Xmastime
🎶Santa’s gonna fly on a budget airline

[David Goody @mrdavidgoody]

🚨New Xmas Video🚨
This year I want answers. Who’s controlling Christmas? Who rules the Yule? It’s high time we were told.

🎶You might want a white Christmas
🎶Where we all get snowed in
🎶But I want WikiLeaks answers
🎶From Edward Snowden

The irrepressible @GrantSharkey tackling the difficult subjects in the life with the tact and subtly that only he possesses.
If you get a chance to see him live, don't think twice and just go (and let's face he plays pretty much everywhere the hard working fellow).

[David Goody @mrdavidgoody]

@Covcultureshow Only the 1 Coventry track on this album. But there were 21 Cov tracks on the previous album so I think I’m allowed to tackle other subjects this time.

[David Goody @mrdavidgoody]

🚨 NEW ALBUM ALERT! 🚨
Have you ever wondered…
…what happened next to Withnail?
…how Phil Oakey copes with sleep deprivation?
…if Stealers Wheel can navigate an IKEA?
…how it feels to be a robot working for Darth Vader?

It’s a #coffee early and often kind of day. Much like it was when I reworked this #HumanLeague track.

🎶Keep needing caffeination
🎶Red Bull, Monster, espresso from Costa

Other people’s problems getting to you? Just repeat after me: 
Not My Circus, Not My Monkeys

🎶I’ve more hard cheese than the whole of Parma
For a drama llama taunting karma
Your vast ego just needs to know
That you reap just what you sow

Back to work Monday vibes?
Here’s a track about getting by in the #StarWars universe as a lowly droid.
https://t.co/EIEiv9RTr6

🎶Luke & Leia, Han & Chewie
🎶They all think my circuits are screwy
🎶They don’t know why I’m of the opinion
🎶That it’s great to be Darth Vader minion

Going from Twitter to Mastodon has big “moving from the city to a small town” vibes, in both positive and negative ways.
I’m here if you want to visit - https://t.co/brKqqXnsSS

Will also be making frequent day trips back to Twitter city.

[David Goody @mrdavidgoody]

20 days until I'm back at @LtbShowrooms supporting @GrantSharkey again.

[David Goody @mrdavidgoody]

Turns out @GrantSharkey is a delightful human being as well as being an awesome live act.

[David Goody @mrdavidgoody]

This thread has some great picture mash ups.

I get the whole thing about dunking on the new guy, but he's not actually in charge. You see the internet is ruled by cats. They, not Elon, are the fluffy cartel controlling HTML.
