Hate to be that guy but The Sea Devils’ music was actually by Malcolm Clarke.

Saw Blood Incantation for the first time tonight and they were fantastic. If you get a chance to see them on this tour, do not hesitate!

Back from a very pleasant stay in Ghent. Lovely architecture, great food and drink and cool places to hang out in. Definitely intend to go back at some point.

Very much enjoyed seeing Wolf Alice at an intimate gig in Kingston earlier today. Ellie Rowsell is such a good singer!

West Hampstead has often been close between Labour and the Lib Dems. They almost won a seat in the ward at the last Camden elections in 2022 when Labour were still in opposition nationally. Not saying that Labour won’t struggle in London next year but they are unlikely to lose Camden.

I don’t know why she is still their leader on the Assembly as she is utterly woeful. If they replaced her with Andrew Boff or Emma Best, they might start getting somewhere in London. Until then, they’ll continue their slide into irrelevance.

Went to see Together earlier today. Probably the best argument for staying single that I’ve seen for some time!

Feels appropriate to listen to this classic album today. RIP Ozzy.

Went to Wimbledon yesterday and saw two very good matches: Iga Swiatek v Liudmila Samsonova and Jannik Sinner vs Blake Shelton. Great weather for it too!

Visited the Grayson Perry exhibition at the Wallace Collection for my birthday earlier today. Good fun as always from Mr. Perry. Also had a very tasty Match Point Tart from L’eto in Covent Garden.

Another enjoyable outdoor gig. This time courtesy of Deftones, Weezer and High Vis. Crystal Palace Park is a really nice venue for outdoor shows.

I’m watching it right now on iPlayer and they’ve said “Fuck Keir Starmer” several times.

It’s on the Northern line too. Granted, it’s nowhere near as bad as the Bakerloo line and has mostly been on the carriage exteriors but I have also seen some graffiti inside the carriages on recent trips. It does seem to be a wider problem now.

Thoroughly enjoyed seeing Dark Angel at their first London show in 34 years and playing their classic album Darkness Descends in its entirety! Also got to see the excellent Schizophrenia supporting them who I’ve wanted to see for ages. A great night of old-school thrash! \m/

Had a good time at the Wide Awake Festival this past Friday. Particularly enjoyed the sets from Mannequin Pussy, English Teacher, Sprints, Fat Dog and Kneecap. Hope it will be back next year.

#1 would be the most responsible, #2 would be the most fulfilling and #3 would be pure insanity. I would choose #2.

Saw Lambrini Girls earlier this evening. If you get a chance to see them, do not hesitate. You will definitely have a great time!

Met these two earlier today. As you can see, they were thrilled to meet me!

My second fox encounter in as many days. This one was most definitely not shy!

A rare visitor to my home this morning.

Some of us were never clubbers in the first place! Much more into gigs and festivals (still am). Great article though. More of this kind of content please.
