2. Violent Femmes
3. Pretenders
4. Orange Juice

It feels like I was back in school! 🙂

DEVO documentary on Netflix is probably one of the best portraits of modern America I've seen.

I like Devo's music about as much as I like The Ramones which is not very much at all but their creativity and social commentary and sense of wide-eyed fun is just brilliant. De-evolution. Recommended.

De-evolution is not a theory but a proven fact

I once played a gig with a couple of other acts
and no-one showed up.
No audience. Zero. Nada.
The three acts just played their sets to each other (they were both great).
I recorded my set on my mobile phone and released it as one half of a live album on my Bandcamp
where it's still available 😊

Our song 'Get Together' failed to make the BBC FreshOnTheNet playlist this week. You can judge for yourself whether that was a good decision by giving it a listen here😆 on.soundcloud.com/A8cOzr2FE1EQ...

Taken from our new album 'Old Songs for Kids'.

There seems to have been a lot of tactical voting to ensure Reform were kept out - and if Plaid and Labour had split the vote, the fact so many Tories have turned to Reform would have given them the seat. Not sure what this means for a general election in other places

This seems very clear. People seem to want to stir up controversy over nothing. The Tory perspective on migrations is completely perverse.

I've just put another track from 'Old Songs for Kids' up on #Soundcloud. 'Get Together' is a political song with a personal message. Or maybe a personal song with a political message 🤔 You'll have to work it out on.soundcloud.com/STogh8E9kF7I...

I can't be alone in thinking Mark Steel's "In Town" radio series is one of the greatest works of art in the English language (up there with Shakespeare) and a remarkable tribute to the British character and culture.

New series coming, yes!!

Just deleted hundreds of old photos in Google and got 3.5GB of my storage back. Worth it!
