Llandudno pier, a glorious, mostly Victorian survivor. Engineer James Brunlees called in architects Charles Driver and Charles Rew to jazz up his rather dull proposal - the result being this graceful structure completed in 1877. The pavilion at the far end was added in the 1910s.
Fun results when you put his name in 👍👍
Listening to the wonderful live album, “Country Preacher” by the Cannonball Adderley Quintet - with its stirring introduction from the Reverend Jesse Jackson RIP
Remembering Tim Buckley on his birthday. Here he is playing Song to the Siren on the final episode of The Monkees TV show in 1968, two years before he released a very different version on his Starsailor LP
Angel Come is a fabulous song. Can I humbly offer Winds Of Change and The Night Was So Young for consideration as well
OK, so, sorry about this - but - I saw this without my glasses and read it as “Retrospection” Taylor Swift. It felt quite the pivot (in the moment). Again, sorry. I’ll get my coat
Reform UK is completely full, so Tory MPs are now defecting to the Sugababes.
The same water falls in lightning and snow
Thank you!
Craig Fairbrass extras…
Got it cheap on CD a few years back 🤷🏻♂️ - “Sheep Season” worth the money alone 🔥
Brilliant writing

It’s good. Here’s mine.
The ALT text? 🧑🍳💋
D’oh! Just seen. (In France so following- poorly it seems - solely via Bluesky!) Sounds like a fantastic show
Western Sky in the pipeline? 🤞🏼
Great journo. Fabulous band imho
Maybe ‘88? Baring Rd, Beaconsfield. Such times.
Jealous. Very.
Picked up the cassette - by sheer chance (boredom, curiosity, I don’t know) - at my local library one year after release in 1987. Changed my life.

Remember your first listen of Loveless and how the first few seconds punched you in the face? Those four snare hits and the lurching aggression of guitar and bass are incredible, then Bilinda sleepily wafts in from a dream somewhere. Mad

Evan Dando at Rough Trade East tonight was lovely; scrappy, vulnerable, heartfelt and buoyant. However, amongst the Townes Van Zandt and Fred Neil covers I did not expect that he would give us a word-perfect rendition of.. this. youtu.be/Grg5tULy0tY?...
Music at its greatest
If like me you've ever been accused of being born in a barn and want to chat about it, remember: my door is always open.
Hard agree 👍
Unpopular opinion but I really like this album. Different strokes and all that
Nice haul. Catherine Howe 👌
Not forgetting this too! Love love love this band! @thecomfortablespot.bsky.social
