Enjoyed Michael Shannon, @jasonnarducy.bsky.social and band playing Fables by @remhq.bsky.social so much on Tuesday, went again to London. Even better than the first time - the band were tip top and Shannon is weirdly great frontman.

My most @remhq.bsky.social themed two days since June 2007 continued with the awesome Luke Haines and Peter Buck, supported by The Minus Five at the @hareandhounds.bsky.social.

Cracking evening!

One of the best gigs I’ve been to - @jasonnarducy.bsky.social and Michael Shannon and band playing @remhq.bsky.social songs at Gorilla in Manchester. The sweaty, glorious joy of live music.

@thatwouldbealex.bsky.social's book about making music and life in the 90s arrived today with lots of candy! Looking forward to getting into it and dragging up my own memories of early 90s gigs! Or at least, dragging up those bits I can remember. It's quite hazy now.

Excellent post delivery today - new @penfriendrocks.bsky.social album House Of Stories. Might be the best looking vinyl I’ve bought in years!

Hi @bigbeatlessortout.bsky.social - don't know if this has come across your radar, but I picked this up the other day at Sound Records on the Isle of Man and I can wholeheartedly recommend it! Natalie Cole's version of Lucy In The Sky etc is soooo good!

New laptop day! An MBOT3000! Woo-hoo!

Not sure of the exact spec, but it has a satisfying click when it closes.

My friends think you are trouble
But I like your leather coat
The bad boy in the kitchen
With the world in every note

It's our last Christmas
Our last Christmas
But I don't want you to go - not like this
So give me one more kiss

If anyone fancies a little Christmas cheer, here’s a Christmas album I instigated, curated and contributed a couple of songs to. A Little Slice Of SpinTunes Christmas Vol 1.

And the best bit - it’s free if you want!

In his short life Barry Spoonhead took a mean passport photo. Apart from the smile, which apparently isn’t allowed.

Even though I knew it was coming, I still shed a little tear. It’s beautiful in the flesh. #paulmccartney #gotback

Finally got round to putting this @stuffbymark.bsky.social @remhq.bsky.social print on the wall. Think it looks rather lovely!
