Good show from the Psychedelic Furs last night, with a set spanning all of their albums. Could have done with a bit of sax but since the sad loss of Mars Williams, it wasn't to be.

Fantastic set from @throwingmuses.bsky.social last night. 90 minutes with a good selection from the recent albums and much older material. @kristinhersh.bsky.social is possibly my favourite human ever.

This is worth 90 minutes of your time. If you think Devo are just a bit quirky, this will help you appreciate the serious philosophy behind their music.

Luke Haines and Peter Buck playing a sellout gig at the H&H last night. Most of it was new to me as it was from the latest album, which I hadn't realised was out yet. I picked up a copy after the show.

Cavegirl and the Neandergals - primeval rock 'n' roll played with dinosaur bones.
Walking through Birmingham I was stopped by a youngster who said my hair was "sick" and asked how I do it. Maybe I should set up on YouTube as a hairstyle "influencer"

Back from Blackpool and I'm completely knackered. Glad I've booked the next few days off work. Loads of band photos to sort through, might post some on here eventually.

"New" #Cardiacs single with a wonderfully hypnotic video. The great lost album "LSD" finally sees the light of day in September. Obviously I've ordered the deluxe vinyl which looks like it will be a thing of beauty.

Checking out #MixTape to see what the fuss is about. Enjoying it, for the obvious reason. Would I watch a love story like this if it didn't have the music angle?

For anyone wondering about the announcement of Au Pairs gigs, here's a statement from the original band. Don't think I'll bother. I feel more loyalty to Pete, who's a friend than Lesley, who I've never met. Plus I've heard that Lesley's recent performance with Adrian Belew was a bit ropey.

Perfect albums from the year I was 16? Too many to choose from. It was the year I discovered John Peel.

Starting in 30 minutes, #Cardiacs livestream. Well not strictly live as it's from 1988 but you get the idea.
Never seen before except if you were at the actual gig, which I wasn't.

Health has been fragile this week, wasn't sure whether to go out but think it did me good to get out of the house and see people. Apologies to everyone I spoke to, probably wasn't making much sense!
Relaunch of indiepop night The Autumn Store with Cloud Studies who I've wanted to see for a while.

This is rather lovely. Home recordings from @peteastor.bsky.social @theloftuk.bsky.social - some of them 40 years old. Very limited number of physical copies went on sale this morning and they're nearly gone so don't hang around.
