Mostly posting music I'm listening to. Weighted towards heavy sounds. Open to recommendations. Love exploring and discovering new sounds.
Earlier today I needed some music while I focussed. Something loud to keep distracting sounds. I turned to Tombs as I liked their recent album so much. This EP did not live up to expectations. Loud, yes, but lacked the feel I was looking for.

Friday night vinyl. Awakening: Sleeping by Mass of the Fermenting Dregs getting its first spin. High class post punk/alt rock.

Needed a big dose of post-punk today and Sorry deliver it with style. Really like this quirky album. Manages to feel both complex and pop-y.

This has to be some of my favourite atmospheric black metal I've heard recently. Feels so heavy, gives goth undertones. Unrelenting.

The other musical choice I’ve been making this week is folk. This one was fine but didn’t really engage me well. A little too laid back perhaps.

Clearly in a bit of an old school mood. Following Kadavar with this. But again it’s a somewhat unsatisfactory experience.

The best tracks really hit the sweet spot, but too many verge into a style of classic rock I do not enjoy.

Did a bit of post punk today too. And dust are pretty good at it. Leaning a bit more towards the punk.

Back home. On the train I listened to some more folk guided by Apple Musics recommendations. And fair play, this was a good album.

Kadavar have a spot on heavy, retro sound that I wish I liked a bit more. There new one is a good, not great, album. But if you want something old school, not a bad choice.

Headliner tonight - @afskyofficial.bsky.social

Felt a more storied and intimate black metal set.

Panzerfaust did not disappoint (other than having no vinyl for sale at the merch stand). Huge set. Going to be one of my highlights of the year.

My highlight today was the chance discovery of Jesus Hoop. An emotional and beautiful album. I don’t dip into alternative folk enough.

Having missed photos of 3 lovely beers I do have a photo of my distinctly average pre-gig beer. House Party by LERVIG. A little too clean and sharp an IPA for me.

Some music around today. Started with Ugly Ozo. Some form of dreamy gazey alt-pop. I like this.

On an emotional high from catching up with a friend I’ve not seen in 12 years and it not feeling like a moment has passed.

Sorry #bskybeer just had 3 fantastic beers at The Holy Tavern near Farringdon and didn’t take a single picture! But I will say the Sea Salt and Chilli Stout from Anspach & Hobday is exceptional. And the Plum Porter And Ruby Red Ale from St Peter’s Brewery co are also fantastic beers.
November 9, 2025 at 6:32 PM
And now (I should mention I’m sharing these cans) a New England Pale Ale from Bristol Brewery. Bought for the pun but it tastes good.

Going to be honest, I bought this can expecting it to be odd and ultimately hard to drink. It’s a surprisingly nice sour beer. Feels like I’m drinking an innocent smoothy! Maple, Banana & Blueberry Pancakes Patty Sour from Yonder brewery.

Evening beers started with a DIPA. Buxton Brewery’s Wyoming Sheep Ranch. Strong with a nice hoppiness.

Played weird little ‘games’ at Novelty Automation that ended with me being poked in the groin or arse.

Recommended.

Visited the Tate for Picasso and a Beer. Came all the way to London just to drink Left Handed Giant. The fourth dancer DDH Hazy Pale, it’s nice and fruity.

Wandering round London today. Starting with Japanesexbreakfast (not the band). Trout Ochazuke at Koya in Soho.

Last night’s gig - Hanabie.

Merge metalcore with jpop and you end up here. Not my usual taste but I like this quirky mix.
