At the Shepherds Bush Empire to see Billy Bragg! Feels good to be here in times like these.

Morning!

Some excellent band name ideas at the hardware store this morning.

Got the John Cale, Paris 1919 reissue today. It makes for a pair with Lou’s Transformer: filled with great tunes & honed with song craft. The Velvets avant- guard noise worked because it was always underpinned with John and Lou’s perfect pop sensibilities.

Red wine + this beauty tonight. A hurricane of raw emotion, interwoven story fragments and unforgettable images.
