already looking forward to the end of the train strikes on Friday. Packed gig week next week!

Ronker, Sad Season, Test Plan - Lexington, Saturday
Prostitute (the band, don't get any ideas), Moth Club, Tuesday
My First Time, Shacklewell, Weds
The Scratch, Electric Ballroom, Thurs

Finished YOUNG SHERLOCK. Fun, annoyingly spending much of the finale on a flashback like most of these streaming services do - but it's a good enough origin story with a Ritchie-esque charm and I'll happily watch S2.

finished DEVASTATION OF BAAL. I'm really enjoying Hinks' Blood Ravens' - and these standalone novels as a way of tying together a thematic storyline across multiple novels going back to DANTE. 40k hasn't given us as consistently as many hits as the Horus Heresy, but it's good. Seth is great.

Dermot Henry was super fun last night; chill, effortless indie folk that really moves. Big fan.

montage set to gladiator's 'now we are free' but for myself for no longer having to use the euston concourse as my regular commuting station

Last Euston commute I am finallly FREE of this cursed station

yeah, the strokes will sell out their dates and it's evidently clear this isn't gonna affect the geese hype train. it's a shame that there are evidently so much more talented bands in the diy scene that will never ever get the chance to reach that hype as they don't have the budget.

GEESE INDUSTRY PLANT BAND CONFIRMED

gig week.

huge.

just the new to me stuff too. cleaning up this year with Mogwai, The Cure, Pulp, Anohni and the like.

we always seem to end up in season defining moments in one week where we get knocked out of both competitions and i'd love for once, this week not to be it. but i fear it might be.

amazing third act redemption arc for the catholic church tbf

Jack White secured.

That's a year of:

Massive Attack
Kim Gordon
Jack White
David Byrne (twice!)
My Bloody Valentine
Gorillaz

all for the first time, some real bucket list acts mixed in with the new blood.

Finally completed for whom the bell tolls on KINGDOM COME 2 and it sums up everything I love and HATE about this game in one mission. drags the pace down to a crawl for one of the best missions of the whole game

So Declan Rice scored two free kicks vs Real Madrid, Thatcher died and Cult of Luna + Julie Christmas dropped Mariner all on April 8? Generational day.

7 hours of silence from the Prime Minister.

The US is using UK bases. The President is openly talking about destroying a civilisation.

And Downing Street says... nothing.

If you won’t speak up now, when will you?

Sure they’re great live, that’s an excellent piece! Need to throw a pitch stereogum’s way

Just was not convinced by that SNL show!

They do Werchter in the summer but I’ll be at Yard Act, Loyle Carner and Karen Dio

my next gig week is looking pretty fucking special to say the least.

SNL Live UK were doing so well with the musical guests until they got Kasabian

hell of a fucking day this but that ttsfu/truthpaste/honeyglaze clash

the lion coming back to the 40k universe is something that i'm really interested to see how they handle as whoever decided they wouldn't even write a full novel about guilliman's return for black library and just shove him in a rulebook is nuts

Quite a massive Warhammer 40k audiobook sale today

some nostalgia and some new bands in this werchter lineup this year

not a baaad four days

DETECTIVE HOLE isn't real it can't hurt you

Also DETECTIVE HOLE

had a fun time at Fit for a King on Tuesday. Memphis May Fire and 156 Silence were superbbbb; loved Memphis and 156 may have been the best of the whole bill. Also got snapped crowd-surfing and went pub with mates - what more do you need?

Memphis' chaotic is an earworm, it's been in my head all day

Hi Reform UK and Andrea Jenkyns, how many Reform UK MPs were in the defence debate yesterday?

By our count it was 0.

two seasons in and we FINALLY have THE PITT in the UK

If "you don't understand, it was important to me in my childhood" was a good reason to keep tired IP around we would have a lot more Samurai Pizza Cats content.

New potter trailer is so shit

Even disregarding the inability to associate art from artist which you cannot here when her name is plastered over it and the only reason it's happening is because the cast of the old movies all denounced her beliefs

it looks completely devoid of any lighting

harry potter is the easiest case of being unable to separate the art from the artist that we have and obviously you should not be giving jk rowling your money or your eyeballs

there is a vast quantity of entertainment out there where your money won’t go directly to hurting your trans friends
