i barely post anywhere these days, much less about rare times i wheel myself out of rave retirement to do something musical, but just in case anyone here will be at wilderness, i'm opening the hustle stage tomorrow night 7-9pm, should it be of interest : )

seems benign enough habit to transfer from twitter-looking for the best ever live version of shake dog shake by the cure, i.e. indisputably now, i think, the greatest band ever to walk the earth. only seen em 23 times, so many more to find, but here's a good one, madrid 2022 youtu.be/_Tx5M7UhMgE?...

among the many tributes, we (i.e. the texas outlaw sound system - the name for the 99-01 leeds dj crew of the rig *that pete built* aged 19 with his dad) made a tribute mix from all the tunes that we used to play back then, to commemorate him & that time. r.i.p pete✊ www.mixcloud.com/McQueen_/the...

😅 ok. sad way to start, but it's online for people to hear i guess. in december, we (i.e. people who knew him here e.g. @joemuggs.bsky.social, not here, round the world etc) tragically & suddenly lost a dear friend, a kind, inspirational, never say die rave absurdist & true genius - peter kirk (1/2)
