chrisjchallis.bsky.social @chrisjchallis.bsky.social · 09/10/2025Finally got to see @dannyrobins.bsky.social ‘s 2:22 tonight. This completes the (un)holy stage trio of Woman In Black & Ghost Stories that I’ve taken (dragged?) my chums to over the last couple of years… and this last one was fantastic. Incredible play and excellent to watch with a live audience! 👻👻 000

chrisjchallis.bsky.social @chrisjchallis.bsky.social · 13/09/202521 years after getting lost on LA public transport and missing their show, I FINALLY saw hellogoodbye live. They were freakin’ rad. Bought Forrest a double brandy. Did a dance. Got a signed LP. ❤️ (Vinnie Caruana was also ace - what a voice! - and obvs. Armor For Sleep smashed it!). #brighton 020
chrisjchallis.bsky.social @chrisjchallis.bsky.social · 04/09/2025Visited my dear chum Rash at his brand new record shop Dream Street Records today. It’s slap bang in Brighton’s North Laine and - as Rash so eloquently describes - “celebrates the significant, sometimes life-saving role that pop has played for generations of LGBTQ+ people”. dreamstreetrecords.co.uk 021

They have an aratama (rough soul) and nigitama (gentle soul). (1) 815156

But then George Wendt popped his head in to say hello, J rose out of his chair and exclaimed, “NORM!” I've never seen him as animated before or since. RIP NORM! 8549124
