It’s been a minute, Mark S. My miniature MDR vinyl figure pre-order from @youtooz has arrived and it’s a beauty. Official Severance merch is a very welcome thing indeed! @benstiller.redhour.com #severance

An underrated masterpiece by David Cronenberg, eXistenZ is not only one of my favourite films from the 1990s, but of all time. Also, crazy to think that 1999 had this, Eyes Wide Shut and Being John Malkovich! #davidcronenberg

Well, flip my toboggan, it’s Severance season 1 on blu-ray, DVD and FYC screener. #severance #television #physicalmedia

The work is mysterious and important… Great t-shirt that travelled all the way from Bell Works itself. Velvet Boutique were selling these for the recent Severance event at Lumon HQ and I’m very pleased they decided to put them online too. #severance

Had a great time seeing the Manics three nights this tour. A wee trip back up to Glasgow for two nights at the Barrowlands (what a fucking venue still) then Friday night at Shepherd’s Bush Empire. The band on cracking form, with relatively deeper cuts making a welcome live appearances. #manics

Great @mgiacchino.bsky.social event Saturday night from the goods folks at @madebymutant.bsky.social at RT East.

My outie isn’t a total disaster. We had the outie edition of the season 1 soundtrack, but he made it so that we also have the innie edition. It’s a joy to own them. Really excited to find out what Mutant have put together for @teddyshaps.bsky.social’s S2 score (which I’ve had on repeat all week)…

I’m not too pleased with my outie. Apparently he couldn’t arrange it so that I could actually witness the #Severance pop-up near London Bridge this week. Things were already done when I arrived. I don’t give two dry fucks if my outie had to drop off his car for its MOT or arrange things with work.

Have to go into the office today (usually work from home on a Friday), but thankfully @teddyshaps.bsky.social’s score for Severance season 2 has just been released (by @lakeshorerecords.com) so my commute can be beautifully soundtracked with a Lumon-approved music experience. #severance

I’m DJing at Secret Friend 2.0 (with @dodeisadj.bsky.social, Aimée Sao + Pearce E) on Saturday 8 March. I’ll be on 9-10pm playing post-punk/goth/alt, so smear your lipstick and let the dramatic basslines, shimmering guitars and outsider anthems take you somewhere else.

Entreat and Join the Dots by The Cure. A record and CD box set I’ve been after, both of which turned up at @flashbacklondon.bsky.social these past couple of weeks. Pleased they found a home with me. #thecure @thecure.com

Struggling to express my sadness at the loss of David Lynch. His work is so important to me and has been for such a very long time.

Goodnight to the greatest artist of our times.

A closer look at the Cure cassette.

Found a hardback copy of that Sisters of Mercy book we were talking about @optimo-espacio.bsky.social. Looks great.

Goth haul from @flashbacklondon.bsky.social Islington yesterday. Another successful trade of things I no longer needed for these dark beauties that I did. #thecure #thesistersofmercy #goth

Great to see the Tristwych Y Fenywod LP at the front of the goth section of my local @flashbacklondon.bsky.social.

It’s a world you need to get lost in. (See @nightschoolrecords.bsky.social for more info.)

A favourite record of 2023 that I didn’t hear until 2024: Secret Measure by Cloth (on @rockactionrecords.scot). Lovely signed edition from @monorailmusic.bsky.social landed this week.
