Wet Leg - Mountford Hall, Liverpool
Bit of a bust unfortunately. Had a couple from Manchester stood next to me and would not shut up - only to move to another location with the exact same thing! Chat, chat, chat until they played “Chaise Longue”!
Wet Leg - in future - play that first!!

Heading out a bit later - but having a glass of red and some more Bowie Top 31 edits.
Station To Station next - the Thin White Duke throwing darts in lovers' eyes…
(@modernminstrel.bsky.social noticed last week I bypassed “Pin Ups”! Completely forgot about it - but it’s a covers album anyway!)

Got back from seeing “I Swear”
It opened with me laughing as John Davidson shouted “F**k the Queen” when entering Holyrood Palace to accept his MBE - it ended with me bawling my eyes out. It was funny, moving and profound
Stop Crying Your Heart Out played in the closing credits. Alright Oasis 😢

16. Björk - Human Behaviour
Björk will always be credited as one of the first artists to introduce my ears to the joys of electronic music - of which I’m eternally grateful! All started with this gem from her “Debut” album - an observation of humans as seen through the eyes of an animal

There’s nothing like sex, hedonism, sacrilege, danger and violence on a Friday night! Wrapped up in twee vocals and gorgeous, ethereal guitars! It’s the cute one’s you have to watch!!

Made it to the venue without being swept away/drenched! Guinness in order!
Here to see The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart - their t-shirts are £20. Which warrants conversations about the reasonable price of band tees!

17. Portishead - Sour Times
NME described “Dummy” as the soundtrack for a 50s B&W ghost story set in Soho. Sounds inviting, but it took seeing them on The White Room performing this - with Beth’s cries that NOBODY LOVES ME LIKE YOU - that I bought the album and have been a fan ever since

Dig!
Mood enhancement of the entirety legal kind! A sampletastic, grin inducing melting pot of 70s funk and 90s house - cruelly denied its deserved place at No.1 - but we are still dancing to it and some of the best songs have never made the summit

Super Furries are always great live - this was a tour in support of their “Guerrrilla” album (which I think remains their best album to date!).

19. Super Furry Animals - Ice Hockey Hair
The song was so named following a conversation with a Swedish football player who said that having ice hockey hair (i.e. a mullet) was really unfashionable in Sweden! Supposedly it was originally called “The Naff Song” - nothing naff about this!

Just been on the news that shouting at seagulls makes them more likely to leave your food alone. Yeah - that may work in Exeter where the research was conducted - that won’t deter the Mersey gulls - they’ll have their chips!! 😂😂

There is no greater live thrill than seeing Mogwai play “Like Herod”. It’s the moment when it goes quiet - you know it’s going to kick back in - the band keeping that tension going - then suddenly - bang! That wall of guitars! Like watching a horror film 😂

Why Lazarus? It’s that spacey intro that keeps building until an organ roll ushers in the horns and suddenly all the music in the world is happening at once - then they cut the switch for an acoustic guitar, slightly distorted vocals and those harmonies.

Got back from seeing Frankenstein
Being a fan of Guillermo del Toro since seeing Pan’s Labyrinth - I knew this would be an interesting film.
Yes - it’s big and beautiful (and a couple of scares!) - but at its heart I thought it was melancholic and I really enjoyed it. But I already knew I would!
