Metal, indie, pop, country, folk. Soundtracked by various. Posts mostly about gigs, poor lyric puns & nonsense & nature-y photos. Selfie free zone. Not DM-able. Mildly weird, always truthful. Looking for the upside where possible.
Cool, see you (again) there then @jesusjonesband.bsky.social Doors open a little after Twilight - nice touch 👍
And a very Positively 4th Street start to the week to (generic) you too!
"I'm not sad, I'm just disappointed" - ah yeah. Saw The Frames 3 times, 2 x big outdoor festival full daylight which did them no favours, then 1 x small club where I'd only gone for the sake of another act. That was a stunning performance, artistically. Then came the internet & wider info, oh boy.
Two in the AM and I just finished the first fiction I've read in yonks. 380 pages over three nights, fantastic. Note to self - more of that, if not necessarily into the early hours every time.
Accounting for the hearing loss time again then. First concert: The Wombles Last concert: The Cure Next concert: Self Esteem Most concert: The Wonder Stuff Wish Concert: still theoretically possible, it would be Steve Perry on any terms, more plausibly it'll be Chappell Roan given the chance.
What's your concert history? First concert: The Wedding Present Last concert: Tennis Next concert: tbc Seen most: The Trash Can Sinatras Haven't been but want to: Public Service Broadcasting
If it's not running a very niche, very limited appeal social media account then it's probably the time I put an end to a news reporter doing a piece to camera.
Okay, my QUESTION OF THE DAY is… What is your weirdest actual accomplishment? Not the biggest necessarily…but the weirdest?
YeÄÄÄh! Less delayed gratification, more like anticipated gratification. Hurra!

I was once overtaken on the motorway by what I remember as a dark red Bentley with the registration 'K33GAN'. Don't think it was going quite as fast as his bike briefly was that time on Superstars. Not much of an anecdote but it's not like he needs my contribution to his memory.
Yeah, a recycling, binning, washing, shelving, boxing and stacking kinda day. With the odd bit of ancient treasure being unearthed along the way.
Well of all the horrible dreams I have ever woken in the middle of, that's right up there in the I can see why my heartrate is so elevated league.
Yeah, there's a couple of reasons why #TotP was off my radar at this point. Didn't miss much then.

Made it! Got through the day after getting to bed at 4.30, up at 7.45 and on no more than a usual amount of coffee. Not gonna be a late night though, I suspect.
Having been on a plane that was struck by lightning in a storm while on the approach to Mexico City, I have no comment to make about entirely predictable conditions.
