@Reverend_Makers I worked bars up at students union back in the day and one sunday night gig Mark E Smith refused to get on stage without a crate of 24 holsten pils. Only 6 in building, cue me running round every boozer at top end of west street/ division st with a handful of cash to get gig on

@Robin_Askwith @UrbanToGarden As the AC in question, just woken up to this! Made my day! I was banging on to @urbantogarden about how fantastic “Tower of Evil” is, due in no small part to @Robin_Askwith delivering a pitch perfect performance. I’ll be coming to you for Malta advice soon. G&T in it for you!

First run in 18 months today @runningpunks due to recurring bronchitis- felt good to be out at the seaside. Short distance, pace OK, nothing fell off. Now to keep at it.

Daft electronics played out loud by a so-called Dj

@WorldFamousHot1 Spelt Cathail it would be pronounced more like Kyle

[tracks & grooves @tracksgrooves]

@WorldFamousHot1 Depends which part of the country - in the north west it would be more like KaHall.

@joemuggs @stephenjbuckley it sounds like cutting down would be a compromise - is that ever a good idea when it comes to your own work?

niche 80's rock post - been listing to the Husker Du live at the Longhorn release - there's an early version of Zen Arcade's "Hare Krsna" on there and until today I'd never clocked Hare Krsna is a Bo Diddley beat. The original "Ode to Bode" title is a bit of a giveaway.

Who's for a deconstructed macchiato with a smashed soya milk custard pie?

@MatPringle Apologies for the autocorrect on yr first name btw

[tracks & grooves @tracksgrooves]

@MatPringle @DrRubberfunk @Andr6wMale Only just getting to this Matt. Threw a load of cash at Jazzman this weekend so playing it cool. When in doubt, I usually go Cacophonic. Might go for the vannier bête noire and the Spoerri Tower lp since the vampires of Dartmoor has gone

This number 17 bus smells of shit and crotches of all descriptions. I know “sail we must” is a thing now, and I will have to manfully struggle through to my night out, but clearly hygiene’s not for everyone …
