Can't keep away from the flame, eh, Neil?
Great to have you and the lads back.

@rufus-wainwright.bsky.social just watching this Filmore concert on DVD for the first time in years. It's just struck me how much your voice sounds like a stringed instrument. You're like a singing cello or something. Incredible talent.

Adults

Okay, just listened to isolated vocal on YouTube where it sounds 100% like fridge. What a nutter. He loved Pete and Dud, didn't he?

@nicholaspegg.bsky.social Young Americans. On the lyrics in my CD it says "bridge" on that first line. Is it definitely "Fridge" and how do we know? I can hear both words when I listen to it, very difficult to discern.

My mate Bret said that Dusty Bin is made of 321 stainless. It's a niche joke, but it still makes me laugh 20 years on.

Starting to think that Heathen is David Bowie's best album.

*chef kiss*

I had a boss from New Jersey once, and he pronounced it "Rotter-ham".

Forgot his birthday, forgot his anniversary, just as he would have wanted it. Was playing a lot of Heathen on both of those days regardless.

Just at the David Bowie Piccolino's, Haddon Street.

We also need to keep an eye on Germany and all that AfD nonsense.

Yes!

Yes, I reckon I can up my Def Leppard levels a notch or two

The Burbs

Buy DVDs from a second hand market stall, in disguise. Then go home and burn all your clothes, including the ones you weren't wearing.

Stylised drawing of Bigfoot doing what is described in the caption: “Our dear friend Bigfoot comes to summon me by waving a crow on a stick outside my treehouse window”

Treehouse

Great book, only trouble is I bought it on Kindle, and I really need a copy for my wife.

I like Twitter.
Joe Elliott follows me on there, using seven different accounts.

Yes, probably Last Dance.
I think it should have been the album's final track.

Torn to Shreds

Golden Age of Rock n Roll for that lovely bit of Ian Hunter at the start.

Tomorrow

An old interview in Kerrang magazine with the bass player from Sepultura, conducted by Jason Arnold who poses unhinged questions throughout.

@jasonarnopp.bsky.social
Jason, can we put you in charge of all political interviews in this country?

I've just bought my friends a new boiler and complete central heating system, as a house warming present.

@defleppard.bsky.social
Was listening to Drastic Symphonies earlier today.
You didn't ask, but secretly I think you wanted to know.

We've got the hard copies, but we stream anyway.

This woman was absolutely terrifying

Whoa! So grumpy.
You know who you remind me of?
I'll tell you.
My Great Uncle Bulgaria.

Watching a Grand Designs where someone, as usual, is building a family home seemingly inspired by Stansted Airport.
