Steve Watts @ceefaxsteve.bsky.social · 09/07/2026Yesterday I went to a cat cafe. There were 15 of them and they all worship this picture of a giant cat god. One of them tried to steal my cake. 😆 110 0
Steve Watts @ceefaxsteve.bsky.social · 07/06/2026Miserable day for an outdoor gig but the rain finally stopped for #TheHouseOfLove Target audience was obviously my age, with a phenomenal set drawn mostly from 1988-92. Highlights for me were In A Room and Destroy The Heart, but all of it was perfect. 020 0
Steve Watts @ceefaxsteve.bsky.social · 01/06/2026About half the set was from comeback album Mr. Arc-Eye Under a Cellophane Sky. Again I was unaware of this until last night but I actually enjoyed the new stuff more than the '80s songs in the set so I'll be giving the album a listen as soon as today's work meetings are over. 000 0
Steve Watts @ceefaxsteve.bsky.social · 01/06/2026A few original Very Things/Cravats members involved, with one notable absence. I'm told that The Shend has his reasons for not wanting to take part so I'll respect that and ask no further questions. 110 0
Steve Watts @ceefaxsteve.bsky.social · 01/06/2026Surprised to learn that #TheVeryThings are back together, a reunion that had completely passed me by until this gig was announced. Billed last night as "The Very Things GXL" - I'm sure it's obvious but I can't work out what that stands for. Maybe XL = 40 as it's 40 years since they last played. 100 0

Steve Watts @ceefaxsteve.bsky.social · 22/05/2026Danke schön #Kraftwerk für ein fantastisches Konzert. Zwei Stunden, alle die Klassiker und mehr. Ich wette Bsky versucht das ins Englische zu übersetzen. 120 0
Steve Watts @ceefaxsteve.bsky.social · 21/05/2026Fun and creative evening making a collage in a tin Tins, glue + a selection of images provided but I managed to sneak in a couple of my own.

Steve Watts @ceefaxsteve.bsky.social · 15/05/2026Happy 40th birthday to this compilation, which was my entry point to The Cure. Also available on VHS, if you're under 40 then ask your parents what that was. The video for Close To Me with the wardrobe falling into the sea still terrifies me. #TheCure #StandingOnABeach #StaringAtTheSea 010 0
Steve Watts @ceefaxsteve.bsky.social · 13/05/2026Seems pretty good after one episode but I always struggle to get my head round Steve Coogan in a serious role. He's only lapsed into Partridge a couple of times so far. 030 0
Steve Watts @ceefaxsteve.bsky.social · 01/05/2026My only #RecordStoreDay purchase this year. I didn't queue up, can never be bothered with that. Ordered online from one of the stores. Should have waited until today as it's #BandcampFriday so buy it there if you want all the money to go to #TheTelescopes thetelescopes.bandcamp.com/album/editio... 000 0
Steve Watts @ceefaxsteve.bsky.social · 30/04/2026During lockdown a group of friends launched Hitchcock Club, attempting to watch one of his films a week with everyone sharing their thoughts online. Five years ago today we watched the final film and got a souvenir mug. 100 0

Steve Watts @ceefaxsteve.bsky.social · 24/04/2026Hey @netflix.com, why all the hype about showing #AlanPartridge Mid Morning Matters if you're going to delete it after one day? I didn't imagine it because my TV still shows I was halfway through watching it. Guess I'll have to watch Youth Hostelling With Chris Eubank instead. 000 0

Steve Watts @ceefaxsteve.bsky.social · 18/04/2026Amazing set from @themonochromeset.bsky.social. Ganesh Seshadri, a.k.a. Bid, is very enigmatic, with bassist Andy Warren (an original Ant) doing most of the talking. Tempted to ask Bid later for a photo/to sign the setlist but decided to respect the air of mystery he no doubt wants to retain. 110 0
Steve Watts @ceefaxsteve.bsky.social · 10/04/2026@blackdoldrums.bsky.social sounding just as you would imagine from their name and their frightening array of pedals. A couple of new ones in the set, they are currently writing the next album. 000 0
Steve Watts @ceefaxsteve.bsky.social · 08/04/2026Happy 70th birthday, Justin Sullivan Some of my collection with my jacket from the '90s in the middle. There have been a couple more albums since that photo was taken. #NewModelArmy 000 0
Steve Watts @ceefaxsteve.bsky.social · 03/04/2026Just three from recent comeback album I Wonder When They’re Going To Destroy Your Face. The rest of the set was drawn from their 1990s work, including five from The Italian Flag - in my opinion THE greatest album of the '90s. 130 0
Steve Watts @ceefaxsteve.bsky.social · 03/04/2026Linda still pretty sprightly despite a broken foot, but it did mean she had to forgo the customary onstage fight with Mick. They didn't leave the stage before the "encore" as it would have needed her to be carried down then back up the steps. 120 0
Steve Watts @ceefaxsteve.bsky.social · 03/04/2026That's the gig of the year sorted, the rest of you can stop trying now. Fantastic to have @prolapseband.bsky.social back in Birmingham for the first time since 1999. (Although I have seen them elsewhere in between) Good to see you again @derrymick.bsky.social and thanks for the setlist. 281 0
Steve Watts @ceefaxsteve.bsky.social · 27/03/2026Been watching this over the past three nights. Thanks whoever it was who suggested it, this is exactly my kind of viewing. I don't mean the violence. I enjoy things with a 1970s/80s working class setting. The clothes and interior decor in the first episode in particular are spot on. 000 0

Steve Watts @ceefaxsteve.bsky.social · 25/03/2026Whore's pasta with fresh tuna. Or "working girl's pasta" as Jamie Oliver politely calls it. I think mine looks pretty close to the one in the book. @xxhi-its-lauraxx.bsky.social this is the recipe you were asking about 210 0

Steve Watts @ceefaxsteve.bsky.social · 23/10/2025Good show from the Psychedelic Furs last night, with a set spanning all of their albums. Could have done with a bit of sax but since the sad loss of Mars Williams, it wasn't to be. 010 0
Steve Watts @ceefaxsteve.bsky.social · 13/09/2025We discussed hair prodcuts and Mark wrote some recommendations in my book. Not sure if "Sugar" is a brand name or he's suggesting mixing actual sugar with one of the others. I know Ian McCulloch used to wash his hair in Coca Cola to get his spiky look. 020 0
