Super Furry Animals - Hermann Loves Pauline (Video) YouTube video by SFAVEVO

I've just learned, almost 30 years after the song was released, that Hermann Loves Pauline by Super Furry Animals is partly about Albert Einstein (those were the names of his parents).

Belle & Sebastian playing If You're Feeling Sinister in full followed by a set of hits at the RAH last night. This was a fun show, with Stuart Murdoch singing two songs from among the crowd before members of the audience were inevitably encouraged on stage for The Boy With The Arab Strap.

In his blue velour and silk
You liberated a boy I never rated
And now he's throwing discus
For Liverpool and Widnes

Not Great Quality Recording of Unknown BOC VHS (April 6, 2026) YouTube video by Dandelion Account

There’s evidence hitting the web of a new Boards of Canada record, which to a certain type of person is bigger news than the moon trip.

(I am one of those persons)

Really happy to have discovered this podcast and am now enjoying working my way through the episodes. Three of my personal favourites have already been covered (She Said She Said, Two Of Us and Martha My Dear) ❤️

An enjoyably messy, slightly chaotic evening with The Fallen Women at The Old Blue Last.

Absolutely wonderful programme from @gidcoe.bsky.social tonight ❤️

Very much enjoying the unlikely presence of Gene on this line up.

Mogwai remain a tremendous live band and also a fun one to write about.

Not my review but this is another absolutely brilliant album ❤️

Likewise!

Properly immense show by Mogwai at the Royal Albert Hall last night. Quite a 'greatest hits' kind of set. Excellent support from Craven Faults also.

Tonight.

An evening of many supremely cathartic moments courtesy of Elbow at the Royal Albert Hall ❤️

I can no longer make Laetitia Sadier's sold-out solo show at The Golden Hinde on Wednesday next week so have put my ticket up for sale on Twickets.

V much enjoyed seeing Squeeze last week.

Squeeze playing excellent new album Trixies (and doing a very good job of simultaneously transforming KOKO into their imagined nightclub of the same name).

Vastly improved my life 🙏❤️
