We often used to get to gig venues so early and just loiter at soundchecks. Bored teenagers. Paid off this time. Here's young Dougie inside the laughing policeman's head with Gavin and Guggi.

Finally got around to reading the JAMC book (thanks @kirkleeslibrary.bsky.social). Couldn't put it down - inspiring, bit sad at times, but above all funny af. Haven't laughed out loud at a book as much for ages. Fantastic work Ben Thompson for bringing the Reids' voices alive.

What perfect albums came out when you were 16?
Loved these in 1982, still love them 43 (!) years later.

The Rare and Racy / Warp double whammy totally opened my ears to so many great things when I lived in Sheffield at the start of the 90s. Love those R&R stamps, and the prices!

Great-looking Leeds gig next weekend that I'll miss through being in Manchester. Much love for Vasco Alves here (I believe he's in Manchester the following night, which I'll also miss ☹️).

4 quid well spent today I think. In no way have I even remotely got my head around Vangelis' discography, but I love how almost every record I have by him is totally different to the others. Kinda Beaubourg vibe on here tho, which pleases me.

Last minute free gig at Wharf Chambers, Leeds on Weds this week = me and my pal Becky kicking around some new duo ideas, plus Anarchist Witchcraft and Afternoon Teatime also playing sets. Food served, relaxed vibes, all manner of weird noise.
