Day one at Manchester Punk Festival with Nø Man, Habak, Soapbox and @drysocketpdx.bsky.social absolute standouts. Good beers @trackbrewingco.bsky.social, Fell Northern Quarter and Surehot taprooms helped ease the pain of being too old for this shit #mpf #manchesterpunkfestival

Five stars and would absolutely tip
This feels more like a rebirth than just a return. They're absolutely correct when they suspect they're not alone in needing this. A staggering album.
I reckon whatever it is I'm watching is better than what you all are watching #alien #itlookslikeawarning
It wasn't quite all that in 2006, but the point is well made without even having to reference the current Doctorow doctrine.
Also, @gse.bsky.social certainly knows how to keep a secret. This sounds stunning and given Albini's shoes weren't the smallest to step into, this is great work.
Scott Evans of Kowloon Walled City has recorded it who did a great job on the last Great Falls record. As good a choice as they could have made I think.
I did not have a new Neurosis album, with @aaronbturner.bsky.social stepping in on my list of expected shit to ever happen. And it's immense. As you would expect. I'm in pieces here. #neurosis #neurotrecords

First we get the Albini Fugazi sessions and now this. World is upside down, but this provides a temporary repreive. Totally agree with what you've said there.
Wander about with the number 25 printed on your back.
Record Stores as well! Shop local where you can!

Everything @kathrynjoseph11.bsky.social has turned her hand to has been terrific. No surprise this was great too.
The missus just asked me what I was up to just as I scrolled to this magnificent mashup. Much eye rolling on the other side of the table as I explained #dredd #jaws
Decent drop. Holy Goat don't do disappointment.
By not reading the Daily Mail?
Couple of good books, terrible human being. Nothing else to be said, we've got a ton of other shit to deal with.
I mean, all of the rest of us have known this for a while, so it's weird seeing large parts of the Labour party wake up to this. I mean, maybe this is what woke always meant?
Sorry, and I should be absolutely clear. You're entirely correct regarding the left being the untapped market.
It's always, since the very beginning, been about wealth controlling the narrative to misdirect from their exploitation.
Cards Against Humanity. Decent folk by the looks of it.
Glass of IPA at Northern Monk Refectory in Leeds
The word Monk painted graffiti style outside at Northern Monk brewery
Have snuck down to that there Leeds for some punk rock tomorrow. In the meantime Beyond IPA @northernmonk.bsky.social Brewery and Refectory is a decent start to the weekend #bskybeer
