Watching The Smiths on BBC4 from 1983 and wondering wtf happened to Morrissey.

Now watching Depeche mode fronted by Begbie from Trainspotting. Or is it Nic Cotton? 🤔

Off to see Benefits in Southampton on Tuesday. I can’t believe I last saw them almost 2 ½ years ago in Brighton. Really looking forward to hearing the new stuff. If you can get to see them you really should.

Popping back to ask if this is enough to get you over to Threads or Bluesky. Clearly the unblocking thing wasn’t enough. theguardian.com/technology/202…

The calm before the storm. Benefits

Saw ⁦Benefits⁩ last night and I know I’ve been banging on about how good they are for a few years but now I need new superlatives. Their new stuff is incredible. Danceable electronic music with powerful lyrics. This new one is super catchy. Go see them live asap.

In Brighton tonight? Go see Benefits. Simply amazing. The new stuff is 🔥

Here’s ⁦katesbush⁩ from Benefits showing the BBC Young Musicians of the Year how it should be done.

A 3hr live Cure set from yesterday and it’s free? Be rude not to…. youtube.com/live/_aWDlaxvE…

This fucking guy

Don’t threaten us with a good time.

Loving this. Heavy AF but also had surprisingly tender moments. An amazing debut.

Too early Pond Dip🐸 ?

It’s February 1st not April 1st.
