Went to watch John Woods aka Jacques Cachecarte of Echolalia fame play his first solo gig in 25 years last night. Here’s one of his most recent songs, a photo of him and also one of a surprise reunion of 4/6 of Echolalia!

Danish fans who travelled to Glasgow from Copenhagen on their converted bus donated the 1,000 Danish sausages, buns, and dips they brought with them to a local charity. Well played lads! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰

"Some Other Songs"

An album of leftovers by Honeybourne

A progress report.

1 - "The first step is the hardest"

Written last week, an electro pop instrumental at the moment. May gain a lyric, but currently has the title chanted as a chorus. Short and sweet.

Can’t decide on The Lightning Seeds’ ‘Four Winds’ or The Damned’s ‘Black Album’ for the journey to school this morning.

And you think you’ve got troubles.

They do, yes - they were just rebadged. I actually did a whole blog about these years ago and Chet Selwood, who set up the series with his sister Bee, got in touch and gave me a bunch of information:

It's "hairdressing poets" @wearejames.bsky.social after signing for Sire, and "music fan" Seymour Stein, after not trusting an album of "the stuff the musical breaks on Pebble Mill are made of" to Factory.

Since 2008 it seems that thousands of absolutely horrible, detestable cunts have entered the public sphere and ever since they turned up we've all spent a lot less time criticising bankers and oil executives

I flipping well love the BBC.

BBC Sounds, Radio 6, Test Match Special, CBeebies, BBC Sport website, Desert Island Discs, Peel Sessions. I’d be lost without them

Lefties think its too righty. Righties think its too lefty.

I just think its fab.
