Here mainly for the music. And the politics, naturally. #EAL Coordinator South-West England I DJ a bit.
Unconscionable.

Shame Lambrini Girls have only got 30 mins, but they could fit most of their album into that!
Have fun.
ONE DAY TO GO!!!*
Booked nearly 9 months ago.

Three days to go.
Going both nights.
Not sure why I booked both.
Not bothered really ๐
Tomorrow night 8-11pm at Things Happen Here, Dartington, Devon there's a FREE gig with headliners Bramwell, who are very reminiscent of early Fall.
I'll be DJing too, in possibly the only mother-son DJ partnership around.
Come along & support grassroots music

Idea for band merch: most gigs I've been to recently have an upper size limit of A4 for bags. Totes are too big.
I'd buy a branded, gig-compliant bag.
Do come along. It wouldn't be the same without you.

For any of my followers who like The Fall, you will love the headliners, Bramwell.
Things Happen Here, Dartington, 26 July, 8-11pm
Free gig alert! Next Saturday (26th) at Things Happen Here, Dartington, Devon. Bramwell are headlining; anyone who loves The Fall will also love them.
Oh - and I'll be DJing on the night, along with my son.
Please re-post to get the message out ๐
The BEST thing about starting the summer holiday is knowing that there are NO MORE BASTARD PACKED LUNCHES TO MAKE for 6 whole, joyful weeks.

Well done on a remarkable year to all the students at The Birmingham School of Business School, who break up today for their hard-earned summer holiday.

It's bizarre how many grandparents, aunts and uncles suddenly drop down dead in the last week of the academic year! ๐คฃ

Things Happen Here, Dartington, Devon. 8-11pm. Free entry!
In a gig first last night, one monumentally paralytic lad pulled out a bottle of TreSemme (other hair products are available) and announced that he'd smuggled in vodka in it! ๐คฃ

Walked past this 'For Sale' sign earlier. Had to do a double-take, as it looks just like a Tory election poster!

Ridiculous.

That is fabulous. And Wilco are ace live.
Hope you had fun!
Just got home to strains of Stereolab, followed by LCD Soundsystem, followed by Can, emanating from my 17-year-old son's bedroom.
Where did it all go wrong?!
1. LCD Soundsystem
2. The Fall
3. Fontaines DC
4. Stereolab
5. Sonic Youth
6. Billy Bragg
7. The Smiths
It's an absolute banger, too, unsurprisingly.
15.06.2025 21:14 โ ๐ 2 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0James Murphy has been very vocal about how much he loved The Fall. I often wonder why they weren't name-checked on 'Losing My Edge'...
