No wonder I couldn't get a ticket - looks like everyone was there except me. Ah well, 100 Club on Thursday with David Yow instead

Were the couple in the band still a couple? I saw them in Brighton on that tour and apparently they'd split up in the van on the way down

Terrific album

I saw them in Bexhill (my partner was a fan) and remember being more impressed live than on record. But that was nearly 10 years ago. Still get them mixed up with Midlake

Man playing a large saxophone on a stage

Woman playing a smaller saxophone on a stage

Astonishing sounds from sax wizard Colin Stetson at Brighton Uni last night. Mind blowing. Missed the start of @kaylapainter.bsky.social's opening set but caught some equally striking visuals, more sax, and some quirky packing tape action

Wow indeed - didn't know MV had been around that long

Going through the same thing. It's hard. Make the most of the support you can both get, and make the most of the time you have together

There is now a CLEARANCE price of £9.99 on the overstock of the Blake's 7-inspired Marked to Kill Red Vinyl 12' Single with Smash Hits insert. When it's gone, it's gone!

Celebrating The Bat Chapter 1: Darkness Falls, by Various Artists 22 track album

My OCD requires at least 5 of you to buy this amazing compilation from @dustopianfreqs.bsky.social featuring a brand new HDRF track and 21 other nocturnal epics.

Saluting you all in advance. Ta.

Now with added YOW!

He's playing my local pub, so me (probably)

Lot of Fake(nham) News in there

Yeah, I do. One of their limited series, think they've done about half a dozen, every copy hand printed and signed. Very nice to have

The preacherman returns. Jim Jones All Stars ripping it up at the Piper last night - fervent high energy rock 'n' roll with the sweat positively dripping from the ceiling

Not arguing with that

black hameldon, by moss crop 3 track album

Only 3/10. Think I have some catching up to do

Matt told me you'd been in. FFS was exactly my reaction too

Depends when it was. Saw them in '82 and went back for more the night after. If it was '82, then my judgement is shot

Fine night out in Brighton - @theleaflibrary.bsky.social showing off both their excellent new LP and their ability to fit six people on the Rose Hill Tavern stage, whilst Minor Dents continue on their spacewalk to local legend status

Hastings & Rother has introduced food bins, and it seems the entire population has lost its collective shit

Live at Baba Yaga's Hut Anniversary 2025-06-27, by Dawn Terry 3 track album

Very pleased to see @dawnterry.bsky.social's visceral axe-wielding set for the @babayagashut.bsky.social birthday party last year getting an audio release. Although my diary tells me it was 26/07, rather than 27/06

Looking forward to sharing this with you friends x

It's Jowe Head with Lee McFadden, David Lance Callahan, Luke Haines and others. Great collection of old, new and rediscovered things. Saw them last year and they're on tour again this spring.

Swell Maps - C21
Xylitol - Blumenfantasie
Nordic Giants - Under Celestial Alignments
The Leaf Library - After The Rain, Strange Seeds
Memorials - All Clouds Bring Not Rain

Edwin Stevens if it were Top 6
Station Model Violence if it were Feb again

I did - they were terrific. Should be a very good night

Be seeing you there if you do

...setting the tone for the rest of the day, quality sets from @abearsounds.bsky.social, @irkedband.bsky.social, AAA Gripper and more in the big room, and not so Mute Servant @theewatfordbob.bsky.social shouting to great effect in the bar

The return of Tatty Seaside Town to Brighton's Green Door Store, and a packed house at 1.45pm witnessing the return of Charlottefield as the not-so-mystery guest opener...
