And riddle me this, who are you?
Through a helmet your hair grows right to the ground
That will soon enfold you
Green eyed loco-man where do you stand, huh?

I've got a fucker of a hangover that feels like it'll be around for days. But seeing the Gorton and Denton result is massively offsetting it. #fuckoffstarmer

Look and See: the Light at the End of the Tunnel (is the light of an oncoming train).

Now playing...

There's always a HMHB song. For every occasion.

Now listening to Fried by Julian Cope. Was introduced to this in Antibes by a girl called Hazel. Sounds posh, eh? Wasn't anything special, but I am still really grateful she shared this with me. Cheers, Hazel. The yacht I promised you is still in the concept stage #reynardthefox

If this is not among your top five albums, I'm going to want to know why. Before I tell you you're wrong.

Like, the worst track is still sensationally good. And it introduces the following number beautifully. Which is obviously Josie.

Now playing. Incredible LP. Even the relatively-speaking filler tracks are amazing. Five of the seven are among the greatest songs ever written.

Anyway, yeah. Still hate her. Completely destroyed this country.

Also, literally everything shit that's happening now is the result of our political/media class fighting tooth and nail to prop up the Thatcherite consensus. Brexit, austerity, anti-immigration, targeting minorities. All to keep the clearly broken system going for a little longer.

Terry Edwards and The Scapegoats have a song called 'Margaret Thatcher, We Still Hate You'. I managed to convince them to play at my wedding. See if you can guess what the first dance was.

In such stark contrast to the closing credits too. Always felt like a journey from bleak to euphoria.

It's always a one-off event. Every time. I always feel properly inspired after seeing him doing a reading. If other plans can happen another time, I'd rearrange.

You going? I expect I'll be there.

Suspect I'll be there.

Dunno, but I'm free...

😂

One of the best ALFOS nights for ages, that. Felt like Sean had his mojo back.

Nice. I definitely remember Killer, but that was fairly early on. Things got hazy after that.

Did I hear right that Sean played three of your remixes, @julesfoddy.bsky.social? If so, which ones were they?

Good to see you. I think I may have been quite high, though.

For some weird reason, this isn't sold out yet. I wouldn't bet against it doing so, though. Cracking night guaranteed.

Best one for ages. So glad you managed to make it, man.

That was quite the thing.

Well, that was a doozy. #ALFOS
