Music City: a pitch perfect recreation of the period when punchy powerpop met new wave smarts. So much fun.

Sheer Mag: one day, soon, they’ll have Malibu beach houses lined with gold discs. Bonus points for the Royal Headache t-shirt. #sheermag

I prefer their earlier stuff. Which is just as well because that’s all they’ve got. First saw them 34 (THIRTY-FOUR) years ago. They haven’t changed. Ladies and gentlemen, the perennially unfashionable Heavenly:

“Breakfast means buckfast” according to @the_brogues Young Team. Wtf is buckfast? Not sure I like being in this gang. Tbh I’m having trouble with the accent so he might be talking about Brexit.

En route to @GlasgoesPop to enjoy music bullies describe as “inspiring “. Fortunately, I’ve joined @the_brogues Young Team so have full protection.

Enjoyed Lightheaded so much last night I decided to check out another New Jersey act. Decent but goes on a bit.

This is Lightheaded. They do the Brill Building meets indiepop sound like Heavenly and Aislers Set. Nothing not to love. On @SlumberlandRecs

An eBay seller just DM’d me about his new listings. I may have previous. But the joke’s on him because I’m only going to bid on 8 (EIGHT) of them.

Pint number 7? Yeah I’ll have the 8% IPA. £11.50? No problem, mate. I’m obviously of sound mind. PS I don’t want a fight, thanks for asking.

Last time I saw an act on successive nights was Robert Forster 3 weeks ago. I know, but #theredspinksandpurples are the same quality level. Newcomers: imagine REM covering Guided By Voices’ greatest hits. @GlennDonaldson

Fog Pop fever - like Beatlemania only with a little less screaming and a slightly older crowd - continues to sweep Britain. So good. The Reds, Pinks and Purples are the hottest ticket and best night out. @GlennDonaldson
