How much are you into the Deathcrash? First of theirs I haven't bought (partly because I'm conscious of not playing a lot of new records I buy that much).

Stuart Murdoch’s let himself go

Nobody writes them like they used to, so they may as well play their old ones. Belle and Sebastian playing Tigermilk on the heritage rock circuit.

You will.

@clarewadd.bsky.social on this most auspicious of days, your birthday, can you spot anything wrong in Bandcamp’s recent assessment of Sarah Records?

In which case, stop what you’re doing and pick up a copy of Zuma. You won’t regret it. Teenage Fanclub may have been inspired by it on occasion

I’m playing the long game. Diabetes 3 eventually.

I won't be there, but have a good one.

I saved £110 by not buying a PSB ticket. Would have loved to go, but that's just too much.
PS Lend me a fiver. Or £110.

New guitar hero: Peter Morén elevated Robert Forster. Time to go back to those old Peter Bjorn and John records.

Cane Trash by People Mover is the dolewave revival or slacker rock greatness or simply one of 2025's best records. Because it's Bandcamp Friday: didnotchart.blogspot.com/2025/10/peop...

Hi Dear YouTube video by Jonathan Richman - Topic

"You can't hide that love forever." You could modify that lyric slightly and get a classic album title. @edwyncollins.bsky.social

Michael Rother being excellent on Saturday
#michaelrother

I followed the advice and bought a Redken comb. A bit silly because I never comb my hair. I wash it in punk rock shampoo and let satan have his way.

Robert Forster eulogises Robert Redford’s hair. “He has access to clear, clean mountain water. This helps hair.”

Sleater-Kinney! Great shout

Like your style (mostly) but out of contention. Surprised you didn’t say Sportique . Or Spearmint who are in the running

Side note: the Guardian’s headline when Steven Norris MP had an affair with: Mr Norris Changes Dames

Thank you! We’re taking remain undecided to the point of moving on to ‘B’ which we thought would be easier. Just more intense discussion…

Music fans: settle a pub argument that’s been going too long today. Best 3 bands beginning with ‘S’. No singer songwriters. Bands only. Thanks!

I have a really busy job so that's that for now.

They used to call this alt country. It's magnificent. Touring the UK this month. Don't miss out. didnotchart.blogspot.com/2025/08/ryan...
