Finally got to see @dannyrobins.bsky.social ‘s 2:22 tonight. This completes the (un)holy stage trio of Woman In Black & Ghost Stories that I’ve taken (dragged?) my chums to over the last couple of years… and this last one was fantastic. Incredible play and excellent to watch with a live audience! 👻👻

Connecticut “hardcore/emo” band Anxious play a tiny show at Dust in Brighton, UK. It’s 1:15am, they’re playing “Bambi’s Song”, and the crowd have their hands aloft singing along. They were freakin’ AWESOME.

Anxious (!!!) playing Dust in Brighton at 1am on a Saturday night (ahem, Sunday morning). What. A. Show. Amazing.

21 years after getting lost on LA public transport and missing their show, I FINALLY saw hellogoodbye live. They were freakin’ rad. Bought Forrest a double brandy. Did a dance. Got a signed LP. ❤️ (Vinnie Caruana was also ace - what a voice! - and obvs. Armor For Sleep smashed it!). #brighton

Rash sits in a rocking chair outside his new shop Dream Street Records in Brighton. The facade of the shop has bright yellow window frames with bright blue walls featuring a mix of 90s-esque patterns.

Visited my dear chum Rash at his brand new record shop Dream Street Records today. It’s slap bang in Brighton’s North Laine and - as Rash so eloquently describes - “celebrates the significant, sometimes life-saving role that pop has played for generations of LGBTQ+ people”. dreamstreetrecords.co.uk

My pal @carlaspeedmcneil.bsky.social asked me why there are no clear villains in Ghibli films, and figured I would share my answer with everyone:

In Japanese folklore, all things are double-souled. They have an aratama (rough soul) and nigitama (gentle soul). (1)

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻Hope the beer didn’t distract you from work too much 👀

The Rook Taproom on Dean Street has worked for me on occasion therook.pub

George Clarke, lead singer of Deafheaven, stands with his arms outstretched as the band play around him, bathed in orange/yellow light. Taken during “Revelator” (I think?!)

Blistering set from Deafheaven tonight. “Winona” sounded 🔥🔥🔥

Turnstile. Rain. London. Legendary. #OutbreakFest

The Starting Line performing live at 02 Islington Academy. They are fantastic.

I can’t really explain just how much The Starting Line mean to me and my friends. Incredible gig tonight ❤️

At a Buffalo Tom gig at Town & Country in London in the '90s, J Mascis was hanging w/us in the dressing room in his typically laconic way. But then George Wendt popped his head in to say hello, J rose out of his chair and exclaimed, “NORM!” I've never seen him as animated before or since. RIP NORM!

Everyone breathes a sigh of relief they don't have to go to a country bombing hospitals.

Black moss in the shape of a skull is growing on a tree in St Mary de Haura Church’s graveyard in Shoreham-by-Sea.

The album “Life In Dreaming” by the band Hidden In Plain View on a table. “American Classic” - track 7 - was my favourite, although the last 3 mins of “The Innocent Ones” is 🔥🔥🔥🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻

This beauty arrived today. 20th anniversary pressing! Gah, to be young again!

A man in an old pub places his left hand on a skull atop a table, whilst holding a dowsing rod in his right hand. His expression suggests intense focus. Pub patrons look on.

Started yesterday by taking the kids to see Flow (❤️🐈‍⬛) at the cinema; ended yesterday in a pub watching a man channel the energy from a medieval skull found in a badger’s sett into a modified dowsing rod. Standard Easter holiday fare.

Good grief sir!

A partially hollowed out tree - looking a little bit like the Sorting Hat from Harry Potter - sits in a green field on the outskirts of Wetton, Staffordshire.

Spotted this beauty today in Wetton, Staffordshire. Portal likely to lead to whatever is kept inside a cartoon witch’s hat.

Exceptional work 🫡

Thanks! Beautiful EP!

Giving the Top Secret! OST a spin this morning. What a soundtrack (all performed by Val Kilmer)! What a film! Rest well Val. #SkeetSurfin

New albums from Deafheaven & NYX today; opposite sides of the musical spectrum but both flippin’ aces! 🤘🏻

Paradise is fun (go into it knowing nothing though!); last few episodes of S1 should be released before you cancel.

We’re both doomed.

Oh. Great.

I’ve always gone for Hem-yoo-len, but my 7yr old opts for Hee-moo-lin, which makes me think she knows something I don’t 🤔
