Today is the 10th anniversary of @michaellegge.bsky.social greatest ever gig and I think we should all take a moment to congratulate him.

It’s a late entry but @paulheatonsolo.bsky.social and @riannedowney.bsky.social at Hammersmith Apollo last night is a clear winner for gig of the year. Brilliant from the first note to the last.

The National playing a storming set at Glastonbury while also convincing everyone that they’ve never seen an R.E.M. video.

Over 6 minutes? Did they decide to do a prog track to fill up the album running time? #5x1

I thought we don’t talk about Bruno. #Disney #5x1

Proper old fashioned (in a good way) riff driving the song along. #5x1
June 4, 2024 at 12:28 PM
The End of All Things - favourite so far, love the juxtaposition of the almost choral vocals over the complete mess of a tune. #5x1
June 4, 2024 at 12:18 PM
Gotta love a 1m30 song that has an intro, a middle, a breakdown and a proper finish. #5x1

I’m getting frat boys pretending to slam dance so they can hit people vibes. #5x1

It’s all about the bass. #5x1
June 4, 2024 at 12:02 PM
Loving the squally, throwing everything at it breakdown. #5x1
December 22, 2023 at 12:31 PM
Only reference point I have for this is Gil Scott Heron, very similar vibe but with more modern tunes. #5x1

Is he stepping on a dogs chew toy? #5x1

Another record with excellent drumming. Keeping it simple but still driving the music is harder than it looks. #5x1
December 22, 2023 at 12:12 PM
Who are we listening to, I know nothing? #5x1
December 22, 2023 at 12:05 PM
This is sounding a lot like jazz but in a good way. #5x1
December 22, 2023 at 12:05 PM
Sorry missed the start, forgot we were doing a 12 o’clock start. #5x1
