I don't normally, but...

Denissss did but I've lost loads.

I think Shop Assistants may have also played with Television Personalities, but I'm on the razz in Preston so can't check.

Great set yesterday from Piqué Roscoe at Malcolmses yesterday. @fcunitedmcr.bsky.social youtu.be/kzPcpPT8I1s

The Tubs last night and Ex Void about an hour ago. The latter edged it due to the variety of tone added by Lan's voice. #prestonpopfest

Yup. Pastels and Shop Assistants same night. June Brides one of the very early ones. June Brides and Shop Assistsnyd on the mystery tour. I've scanned a lot of stuff. Need to decide how to share it.

Bought.

RIP Tosh Ryan, a Manchester music legend, and owner of the Rabid and Absurd record labels. What a superb and unique man he was.

I'd never heard of them until looking into the bands playing this weekend. They were great.

Pastels, Shop Assistants, June Brides. The bricks and mortar of C86 are already in place on 8 January of that year. The hod-carriers were Television Personalities.

They're the band The Fall could have been. ;-)

If you've never been, this is a decent description of what we're about from @jonathanallsopp.bsky.social

I love this record so much I bought a back-up copy in case the one I bought in 1979 gets damaged.

Great first evening at Preston Pop Fest. The Nightingales are a fucking unit. Stuart Pearce, following them, really took it on. A shame more people didn't stop behind to see them, but those who did got stuck in. I'll post some photos tomorrow if I remember.

Neal Adams art. Nice.

Would've helped if I'd used the frigging photo I took...

It was either pitta bread or my drawers. And nobody wants that.

Staying opposite the old Lancashire County Council offices in Preston. I used to have meetings in there back in the days when County Councils had Arts Officers.

It's all happening at The New Continental tonite. Or it better be as I'm heading there soon.

Hummus is my favourite Autocamper. Going to throw pitta bread at them tomorrow at Preston Pop Fest.

UK homelessness minister owning more than one house is entitlement writ large.

We can beg to differ.

Just for once could they not thank these greedy hypocrites when they get caught out and feel the need to resign?

Just to add to the chorus in my own voice, the banning of @scumbelievable.bsky.social is a travesty. Gretchen Felker-Martin is an acclaimed author and critic whose only seeming violation has been posting fundraisers for people starving to death in Gaza. Return her to the platform now.

I need to stop kicking Da Capo to the kerb.

The line-up at @theferret.scot is so good we may not move. Even though a pal is playing at Blitz.

Just had to unfollow a good account as they relentlessly repost. Like 18 or 20 at a time. The fascist site let you turn off other accounts reposts. Would be good if it happened here.
