Very much enjoyed the Martin Parr documentary. A snap happy septugenarian with a walking frame and laser focus. From the mill towns of west Yorkshire to the resorts of the Wirral, he captures Britain in all its unusualness

Great artwork by Rob Lee at Burton Street Foundation. Great day volunteering for Sheffield's best centre for folks with extra learning and development needs.

Finally got my new prints of @andycropperart.bsky.social and #nickcave up .

Mugger's Bridge is an infamous crossing across which graced many an urban run photo.

The NC is from the Wild God tour where he untapped an emotional valve which hasn't run dry and scared my blood to brilliance.

Lergy may have curtailed weekend plans but has allowed me to catch 26.2 Miles To Life, astonishing story of inmates battling their demons and their watches on laps of the San Quentin prison yard. Watch it on I Player.

Loved seeing the #timburton exhibition @designmuseum.bsky.social ... already planning a return trip with the illustration-mad youth.

Reunited with an old school mate - sort of. Loving the new #mattberry record, a great gumbo of film and TV soundtracks, clattering drums and clever words. Good lad.

Looking up in #Sheffield and in Upperthorpe has never been so good. You might just spot a new #peachzz.

When zero per centers are as good as the Nillis, alcohol free may be the future for this writer. Just need an AF old fashioned now.

An attempt at a @petemckee.bsky.social inspired Snowmuriel up at the Common.

Walking off the Christmas around beautiful Broomhead, with additional rule of thirds

This year's Nichemas includes @grindrod.bsky.social new podcast about Corby Bus Station's unheralded beauty and Ffa Coffi Pawb, an illuminating doco - entirely in Welsh apart from odd words like Husker Du - tracing the history of Welsh music from Datblygu to SFA. Look at young Gruff!

The art of the mix tape. Can't say I disagree with any of these from the new @petemckee.bsky.social memoirs exhib, A Boy With A Leg Called Brian

Great evening watching Tokyo Godfathers, a fantastic wintry anime, at Kelham Film Club.

Not sure if @sheffcitycouncil.bsky.social intended to create a replica Tinsley Towers on its new multi-use games area in #Sheffield but I am looking forward to testing out my putting skills on a replica Viaduct. What other #Sheffield #brutalist landmarks might work, @sheffieldtribune.bsky.social ?

Double @kneecapceol.bsky.social Tuesday, after listening to Better Way To Live their collaboration with Fontaines DC, went all out and watched the semi fictional account of their story so far. Excellent.

Six weeks off after a medical incident, so quite a landmark to join virtual Jo Whiley for my first ever #couch25k today.

Unexpected highlight of the day was hearing @reverend-makers.bsky.social Late Night Phone Call followed by Hall & Oates on radio two and then making myself laugh all afternoon with an imaginary Yorkshire version of Kiss On Your List.

Sunday listening. Mood.
December 8, 2024 at 12:53 PM
Sound lovers! This four part series from @hannahpeel.bsky.social and @mrrichardnorris.bsky.social is fantastic. Lots of bleeps, echo and dots for late night listening.

The majestic Martin Simpson only lives just round the corner in #Sheffield but his songs do plenty more travelling,, of birds completing the skyline and exemplary covers of Dylan, Leadbelly, Jackson C Frank, Anne Briggs and the Thompsons. Great company from @bbobillsmothers.bsky.social too.

Nothing captures the drudgery of a train journey to Peterborough than a good romp through Britain's niche visitor attractions. Thanks @adam0407.bsky.social for the lend.

An afternoon over the border in West Yorks.

Talk over town is that Katy J Pearson is a wonder; country, 80s pop, a little bit of la Bush.
November 30, 2024 at 11:44 PM
Just wow. Al Green's version of Everybody Hurts is a gospel wonder. Seriously great. (Is this the sort of content we're here for on Bluesky?)

Very pleased with my @andycropperart.bsky.social Muggers' Bridge (I think plural as in more than one mugger?). A rickety old bridge across the railway now condemned and somewhat akin to running the gauntlet, as I did many times!
