Records, books and stuff, in no particular order. Long-suffering Tranmere fan
I should have done this ages ago - the sun's been out all day today!
People of Bristol, and the South West in general tbh, does it ever stop fucking raining?

Got the feeling we might be in for a hiding today, and I’ll be interested to see if it’s the moment the crowd properly turns #tranmere #trfc

*Another* killer looking read from @whiterabbitbks.bsky.social!
Announcing the new book from one of the greatest music writers of his generation, @simonreynolds.bsky.social

Still in a Dream, out this June, is the definitive story of the slackers and shoegazers who reinvented rock, as the music they created reverberated through the late 80s into the early 90s.

Dreamt I was on stage interviewing Sean Dyche and Lou Macari about The Cramps, as you do

Another great listen, and one that's definitely not just for The Fall heads!
This week, on Oh! Brother, we were delighted to welcome producer and On‑U Sound founder Adrian Sherwood. Adrian talks us through first meeting Mark E. Smith, working with The Fall on Slates and Extricate, and the studio tricks (and “anti‑production” ethos) that shaped those records. (+)

It is very difficult to summon up anything other than apathy at 3pm on a Saturday, and has been for far too long. Cheers Mr Palios

Nodding along with pretty much everything @davestone1980.bsky.social is saying on the post-Walsall @atttmpod.bsky.social pod. Cowardly sums up the majority of the squad, sadly. Everything about the club is really fucking grim, and has been for far too long

I've unsurprisingly ended up going down a Lanegan rabbit-hole, and still livid I didn't get a ticket to his 60th celebration / memorial gig. Gillespie aside, obviously, this is so good youtu.be/XYPKUA9rWyo?...

It's been said a million times - but we've got the most expensive season tickets in L2, and that's now 3 wins in *14* at home in the league this season.....
Watch Tranmere, or go for a stomp with the dog and Nico? The correct decision was clearly made

Had my first "I miss London" night, tonight, after 6 months. A few post-work pints (on a rainy night) in Soho with a mate have left me very much not wanting to hop on the train

It’s very difficult not to fucking hate Tranmere at times*

Fair play to Macclesfield, what a result that is

Very much looking forward to Nico remembering she’s allowed to sleep for longer than 3 hours at a time *yawn*
