I known it’s acting, not music but Anne Hathaway and Jane Seymour still confuse me.

I just went back play Moonlighting for old time’s sake and had to play it three times. What a song!

β€œShe keeps him out of fights, holds onto his hand.” If that’s not love, what is?

Someone consistently dumps their old vape and the packaging from the new one at the same spot down our country lane.

I pick them up to recycle and then my hands smell of fake peach or mango all day so now they get bagged like dog shit.

Every time we pass Carlisle up the M6, I find myself singing β€œWe’re only ten miles to Gretna, they’re 300 behind”.

I’ve not heard anyone with a bad word to say about these shows.

I have to wait until July.

Apartment in Greater London Β· β˜…4.74 Β· 1 bedroom Β· 1 bed Β· 1 bathroom Outstanding Kensington Studio

Four miles from Kings X, right on Kensington Gardens. I stayed here last year for a gig at the Albert Hall. Tiny and simple, but great location at a decent price. Same building had some larger rooms too.

Saw him supporting Mogwai recently. Good noises.

Trump says US Navy sank Iran's warship off the coast of Sri Lanka because "it's more fun" to sink ships than capture them.

Exterior pic of the Stone Roses bar. Over the door says β€œ Take me out tonight where there’s music and there’s people and they’re young and alive”.

Manchester also has a Stone Roses bar. Emblazoned with a Smiths lyric, oddly.

I’m just getting started on @danielrachel.bsky.socialβ€˜s new one - This Ain’t Rock’n’Roll. It’s not an easy listen, but a good one. This doesn’t start with Johnny and Sid; Lennon, Jagger, Richards, Moon and Stanshall get their place in the spotlight first.

Intrigued to see where it goes.

Thanks to Trump’s tax giveaways, Ticketmaster’s parent company paid $0 in federal income taxes last year, and made over $145 million – while overcharging Americans for concerts, sports, and more.
