So many intense moments on this tour. When you are in the moment keeping everything together (just), sanity included, memories are imprinted firmly forever. Before the tour you can't wait, during it you want it to finish, and after you long for it to start up again.

I'm devastated. We stayed in touch after the shows and tours. I only just read the news as i had been head down writing and was away from news and emails.... lost right now to sum the emotions up. theguardian.com/music/2024/a…

Been working on 2 gigs and a festival that take place this weekend and next. A hatchet has been buried along the way and happy that I do not let these activities , these productions define me. Got rid of many a fake some time ago and don’t need any back.

This tune has major energy, enough energy to make this old man want to get up and head to a club. youtu.be/F5qjhCe8Otg?si=BJRN…

Watched 24 Hour Party People again for the first time in many years, what a story, a unique telling of the legendary Tony Wilson, Factory Records.. with the likes of Bez, Sean Ryder, Ian Curtis, the Hacienda. Compare that to the safe sterile times of today youtube.com/watch?v=_11TlPMS…

What a day. Not been the easiest. Need a smile and this scene from the latest Dr Who episode brings it.
One of the best scenes of Doctor Who ever πŸ˜‚ Neil Patrick Harris lip syncing to Spice Up Your Life! πŸ‘πŸΌ #DoctorWho #DrWho

Found a video of MC Doom performing at Zen back in 2011. That tour and show for reasons I can't speak of was not the easiest of tours. #MCDOOM

Thought I had recognised the NZ actress whilst watching the latest episode of Foundation (S02, EP5). Rachel House has the role of Tellem Bond. #foundation

Went to Italy vs Sweden Women's World Cup game last night... FIFA has its faults but it does know how to put a show on... the increased production levels they require stadiums to adhere to are slick! sound, lighting, the build-up... loved it!

The bass guitar on this little gem of an 80s tune is simply underrated. youtube.com/watch?v=mcMh6GZo…
