I was supposed to be spinning some newly purchased records today but got a bit distracted! It’s been a blissful, My Bloody Valentine Sunday. This is as good as it gets, musically, for me. Absolute heaven 🙌🏼😎

Such a lovely drive back up home from Manchester this morning. Not a cloud in the sky, singing along to these albums, and I’ll never tire of that first site of the fells, as you approach Kendal. Absolutely glorious 🤗 Amazing night at mbv but happy to be home in beautiful Cumbria with my slippers on👴🏼

Can’t believe She’s Green are playing Manchester on the same night as MBV. Genuinely considering watching them play their support slot at Academy 3, before racing over to Aviva Studios, in time for MBV’s set 🤔 Too risky? So tempting though. Chances to see either band is/will be rare.
