Sometimes I have to pause and reflect that, with a few notable exceptions, pretty much all the musicians/bands that I loved in my teen years are still going strong... many better than ever. That's quite something.

Absolutely love that Gemma Rogers has chosen to cover @weddingpresent.bsky.social 'Science fiction' #ateots .... reinforcing my view that it's a very special song.

I firmly believe that 'Science Fiction" by @weddingpresent.bsky.social is in the top 10 songs ever written. Such a deceptively clever song. #ateots

We have a piece coming up by Lee Kennedy-Shaffer which is at least in part about this.

Feels very 'me' that I would develop tinnitus that's an intermittent low drone / hum, rather than the ringing type. Anyone else?

I bought my wife something similar from Lima when I went to Peru. She felt obliged to wear it, feel bad for her now.

Keep having a dream where I go to a gig that's @smellybdrmm.bsky.social and Chapterhouse. What a gig that would be.

I'll add something weird about this gig. It was in *February*. This February. It feels like an absolute age ago. Is that because it was so nostalgic to begin with? @petepaphides.bsky.social

Indeed it is, although "staring right at the camera" sounds a little more creepy than I would like.

I think it's maybe only the 7" that came with initial copies of XYZ; the full Black Session; and the second Peel Session.

Ultra Vivid Scene were so underrated. He's picked out the self-titled album as well.
