What a great @hiartontheedge.bsky.social conversation with Pete Kember this is. He also perfectly illustrates the 'reminiscence bump' by saying "I was really lucky to be born in that era".

So many great tracks on it, but it blows my mind that, for example, the Bowery Electric version of 'things...' is actually better than the original.

Favourite ever tribute album? This one takes some beating...

I guess I should be thankful I have good teeth, but this week's experience is 'online admin pre- and post-appointment: one hour. Time in chair: one minute.' Which translates as about £1680 per hour.

Being really into live music involves quite a lot of "Great, I managed to get a ticket! Ah. Now how do I get myself and potentially the whole family and probably the dog too to Manchester and find somewhere to stay that isn't £500 a night".

One last Bandcamp Friday purchase? Jon Bennett may be my mate, but he's also genuinely one of our generation's great lost British songwriters... this lyric book is well-deserved and gorgeous.

The whole 'wrapped' thing is getting out of hand... literally nobody asked for the Halifax app to tell them their 'top spending month'.

I would not be looking to the microbiome for an explanation here.

I accompanied my wife to Dignitas. The Lords' filibustering is an insult to all like her who have suffered | Dave Sowry Christy faced months of bureaucratic trauma. For terminally ill people, the assisted dying bill must not create further obstacles, says campaigner Dave Sowry

"Watching the House of Lords debate, it would be easy to forget who the bill is about. Terminally ill people should be the focus of all the deliberations. Instead, we’ve been seeing ... speeches about almost anything except how to enable the intent of the bill."

Ah. Wish I'd been more on the ball with that, guessing it's too late.

@4ad.com I have the Lush 'Chorus' boxset and the first two discs are faulty. I'm guessing I should have looked to return it about a decade ago, but I'm just wondering if this was reported more widely?

Some Butch Kassidy from Swansea Fringe. I thought they had elements of early Verve, Bark Psychosis, Nico, Mogwai... but when I spoke with the guy at the end he didn't have a clue what I was talking about.

This is Ophelia's Beard on @dirtycarrotrecs.bsky.social at Swansea Fringe... you won't see a better 'Walk like an Egyptian' cover! Destined for big things I think.

Great couple of days at Swansea Fringe.
