Vegan FTA. Liberal. Progressive. Woke. Punk AF. Atheist. Music. Movies. Life.
Human rights, animal rights, environmental rights are all intrinsically linked.
There can't be one without the other.
If you watch Slade In Flame in December, does it work as an inoculation against Merry Xmas Everybody as the month progresses?
The Citizen Kane of British Pop Movies - forces the revelation that Slade at their best were pretty good.

How much of the rest of my life do I need to re-evaluate?

Wondered how they'd fit the Pain of Truth crowd into the upstairs room at Dead Wax.

Ballsy move in December to use the bigger outdoor beer garden.

Intense and high energy. We kept warm. Great show.

Up Leicester for comedy shenanigans with Josie Long.

It's been ages since we last saw her, really looking forward to it.

As we're in Leicester, enjoying some South Indian food. Obviously.

Here's my pre-theatre thali at Herb.

In Bristol for Alpha Wolf and Stray From The Path.

Why Bristol when they had a Birmingham show?
Because #fuckticketmaster the price gouging monopoly bastards.

Ended up well. Last night of the tour / ever, so totes emosh.

Finally got to see it - and with a live Q&A with Steve Oram, Toyah and Julian Rhind-Tutt.

An afternoon well spent up Coventry for Rev Pro.

A bunch of grudge match bangers.
Highlight for me was Leon Slater Vs Robbie X.
But it was a great card and a lively audience throughout.

Good to meet fellow BlueSkyer AW irl.

Up Coventry for wrestling related shenanigans.

At Kerala Cafe for the brunch of champions: Aloo Tiki Chaat and Masala Dosa.

I inhaled the masala dosa, so here's a close up of the Aloo Tiki Chaat.

South Indian breakfast is the best.

Up Manchester at Fairfield Social Club for Rural Concerns.

The Rural Concerns covered were leeks, (Marge Simpson) fleshlights, Coleman's mustard, alien invasion, finger licking.

Out at #centrala for Never Said and some #0121queercore

Got there a bit late. Loved what I heard from Pain Program from Liverpool.

[Brick] from Brighton might be my new favourite band. Pure 1986 Mermaid vibes.

Out in Birmingham for Cabaret Voltaire.

They have an extraordinarily rich back catalogue to draw on.

Hello bastards.

Out seeing Anemone.

As I've never seen an episode of Sharpe, it's strange to see actor Sean Bean doing actoring opposite Daniel Day-Lewis.

It's much more usual for me to see actor Sean Bean as the brooding alter ego of comedian Adam Riches.

Out at the Hare and Hounds for Jah Wobble performing Metal Box.

It's an iconic LP but they avoided the gig being a nostalgia fest by playing around with sound and structure.

Up London for shenanigans with some time on my hands.
The Japan Centre had (a lot) less #vegan choices than I thought I remembered, so, with an appetite for #veganjapanesefood I'm at Itadakizen - and bonus, I'm just 'round the corner from The Scala - venue for shenanigans.

Nice that a band playing blackened doom, name themselves after an Audrey Hepburn song.

Good gig, especially in the slow bits.

Well, I really liked Bugonia.

Conspiracy theorists, multi death corporations, flat Earth, bee colony collapse disorder and the last days of the planet.
The ending really cranked the whole thing to 11.

I need to give Save The Green Planet a rewatch.

Got the house to myself, so went liberal with the chillies.

Chilli tofu with rice and vegetables.
If you think tofu is bland, you're doing it wrong.

Out for a Seed Talk event.
Gothic Fiction & the Female Writer.
Very interesting. It's going to add a bunch of new books to my "must read" pile and will push up those Shirley Jackson books I've already got, closer to the top of the "read these next" pile.
