the keeper of the sound of music and others. pop culture, everton, ball-breaking satire. the everlasting present. memorial device alternative national treasure.

NO FUTURE: the hate i’ve been confronted with on here today was truly horrific and seems to have no end. i’ve had it here. already dispensed with fbook, if you want me, you can catch me on insta. or if you know me, call me, send a message. 😕

TOMORROW IN THE REAL WORLD: for the umpteenth year running THE SOUND OF MUSIC holds its annual @africaoye after party on lark lane. @Buddy_The_K and i will be playing tunes and making merry tomorrow night from 8pm at EXPERIMENT 625. the place is tiny, ‘be’ there early. 💙
WHO KNOWS WHERE THE TIME GOES?: 35 years ago today DF left us. yes, 35 years. a beautiful soul departed these shores too early. total sadness.
i just stopped and looked at that picture for a second. incredible young fella.

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: anybody who knows me knows my utter disdain for the dreadful @bbcqt. a refusal to watch this absolute fucking shitshow in no way undermines your impeccable political credentials. JUST SAY NO! art by the majestic @coldwarsteve. with thanks. ✊
SOMETIME IN THE PAST: it was five years ago this weekend that i became the ventriloquist dummy of the wonderful @phil__cooper on a short tour of ibiza. a splendid timer was had. 🙂🌺💙🦋😍
FLYTE DETAILS: when i was a younger fella i listened to the byrds all day, every day. it was often both soothing and mind blowing at the same time. after punk, they were my greatest discovery of that time and the wonder had never gone away.

GONE AND PASSES BY: farewell and adios to the colossal steve albini. i saw big black at the clarendon in hammersmith in 1988-89. my ears were ok again sometime mid-90s. one of the most important people in the last 50 years of music. rest well, brother. 🖤
