Anyone in London want to leap from January to summer just by walking into a pub?

Well, we’ve got you.

Guilty Feet X The Chill Out Tent at Horse & Groom, Shoreditch from 5pm today.

Sunshine guaranteed*

*well, sunnny vibes anyway.

He is more prolific as a drummer than a performer but there are a few 12s and an album. Nothing really comes close to Stop Bajon though. Interestingly (maybe!) I found the 7 and one the 12s in Spain.

Has to be…

Surely the most ******** song of all time? Sits nicely alongside Il Veliero and Jibaro on the podium of Bword Bangers.

Unteachable.

End of the longest month is fast approaching… Bringing back the Brighton institution that is GUILTY FEET and celebrating February with a collab at fab disco-pub Horse & Groom (Shoreditch) with our good friends from The Chill Out Tent.
Balearic vibes a-plenty!

Ha… they just added to the vibe!

If anyone fancies listening to almost six hours of beautiful, often melancholic, music I’ve got your back. Here’s the recording from Sunday night, from Walthamstow hangout Wood Street Bear.

I’ve been told that it’s not suitable for anyone feeling fragile.

Best show for a long while. Second half was a fair bit short of the first but I’ll take it.
Rows upon rows of empty seats still points to other issues tho. We had one other person between two blocks; rows behind were empty.
Spence and Xavi both upped their game tonight. And replacement bus awaits…

Anyone fancy an afternoon in E17… I’m heading across to my favourite gaff with a couple of bags of records and will play from when I arrive (4:30ish) till closing time.

En route to Spurs v West Ham and fully signed up to this being the first game in which both teams will manage to lose.

A chance to follow in Balearic Mike’s footsteps!

It was the place to be in 2006.

Absolute legend.

I never saw him play professionally - have seen how good he was on Big Match re-runs.
That said, when I was still a teen and running the line for Spurs Legends he gave me a proper bollocking for flagging him offside. This was ten years after he retired My ears still ring. RIP Chiv

This is where I miss the old boards. DjH would be awash with heads pulling the set list together for days after.

Sat on the sofa half-dozing through Wet Spam and suddenly having flashback moments to the Idjuts last week… Karat’s Der Blaue Planet hitting the spot, and a biggie that used the same Candi Staton ‘I know’ sample that Altern8 borrowed. Any more @dannykelly.bsky.social or @julesfoddy.bsky.social ?

100%. Spurs’ social media is tone-deaf at the best of times so let’s not hold our breath.

But here goes anyway:
Come on @tottenhamhotspur.com - do the right thing. Please.

We had some snow. Honest! Can’t remember the last time we had any here (Hove) but it’s a good few years. Do we get a day off or something?

Indeed. And I do appreciate its not all down to one man. That said etc etc etc…!

New day. I’ll try to be more upbeat… Now, where’s the latest hour from Alistair Gold on YouTube? That’ll cheer me right up!

Ha! Yes, and yes you can argue I’ve got an informed opinion too :)

Amen.

Spirit Of Talk Talk (Paperback) | Rocket 88 Spirit Of Talk Talk paperback book. A richly illustrated, beautifully designed and now extended book celebrating the music and art of the legendary Talk Talk

Going out on a limb here: it’s not a great book.

Far better is the Spirit Of Talk Talk: rocket88books.com/products/spi...

Just my opinion but the former felt like a bit of ambulance chasing (sorry)

Legends, each and every one.

The don. Would have been 70 today.

A few post-game chats circled around this: “I don’t want change because we changed too often” but I’d counter that betting on red six times and it coming up black doesn’t mean you’re stuck with the last gamble; if anything you may as well throw again because, what difference does it make? Begone TF.

Moment.

Froze my bits off but an exciting two goal comeback for Bayern made it fun. Will return. Fancy it? On warmer days? £6 a pint, standing, jumpers for goalposts (almost)

Shout out to @adampowley.bsky.social … they might play in red but it’s less annoying over at Bayern Worthing

Had? ;)
And just learned that Craig Gannon aka The Fifth Smith, was one The Bluebells too. Everyday is like schoolday, as the singer almost sung.

The O G… (2:45 in) so glad I didn’t make this up!

Just found the steel band Daft Punk stuff online, and the cover of Naive Melody. They’re digging on YouTube now I think; they’ve obviously ‘completed’ Bandcamp :)
