It’s always a bit special when you see friends play a big support slot at a decent sized gig. @europeansunmusic.bsky.social were supporting House of All last night. So seeing Rob Pursey and Steve Miles step up to do the honours was just fantastic. They went down pretty well too I think😎

Darren157 @darren157.bsky.social · 02/05/2026

A bold T-shirt design from House Of All from last night’s gig at Oslo, Hackney. The band were absolutely imperious. A stomping juggernaut of rhythmic, propulsive noise! Rarely do you experience a crowd that is so transfixed by the spectacle in front of them! They are a must see band😎👍🏻

And so to another day of records from my loft and it’s a full case of treasure first up! The Smiths (part of my collection fills this case, there’s more in another box!)

Darren157 @darren157.bsky.social · 25/04/2026

The last record for tonight and it’s from local “heroes” (and in latter days friends) The Dentists 😎 The Dentists Some People Are On The Pitch They Think It’s All Over It Is Now @bobc1965.bsky.social

Darren157 @darren157.bsky.social · 25/04/2026

A random pick from the box that I’m unpacking right now. Coincidence? Well yes actually 😉 The Fall Nord-West Gas A This Nation’s era compilation LP from Germany

Darren157 @darren157.bsky.social · 25/04/2026

But first up it has to be this one… The Fall Live At The Witch Trials

Darren157 @darren157.bsky.social · 25/04/2026

And so into the loft to retrieve the first three random record cases. Pot luck produces such goodies as @pjharvey.net Siouxsie &The Banshees and The Fall😎

Darren157 @darren157.bsky.social · 25/04/2026

Darren157 @darren157.bsky.social · 25/04/2026

And here’s a 10” LP from Coup Dur. It’s a fantastic blend of twee indie pop and yé yé inspired style songs. Released of course by @precrecs.bsky.social 😉 Coup Dur The English Want…Coup Dur

Darren157 @darren157.bsky.social · 25/04/2026

Here’s a band that you may not know. Cult Figures. I was very disappointed to miss the album launch gig in Hackney on Wednesday due to being unwell. By all accounts it was a cracking show! Cult Figures Reports Of People @precrecs.bsky.social

Darren157 @darren157.bsky.social · 25/04/2026

Here’s one that is an as yet, unannounced pre-release from @precrecs.bsky.social It’s 15 tracks and blooming marvellous (and I’m only part way through Side 1😎)

Darren157 @darren157.bsky.social · 25/04/2026

Next up are the gorgeously lush sounds of Carl & Kat Mann. A beautifully layered and textured album 😎 @shapeslikepeople.bsky.social Under The Rainbow

After a day spent in A&E yesterday I’m again able to play some of my new records. At long last, here’s one that I’ve been aching to play. House Of All Inklings

David Gedge of The Wedding Present is the guest on the latest Oh! Brother podcast He's seen The Fall live more than any other band, and he once wrote a song about listening to Hex Enduction Hour. He has appeared on more BBC radio live sessions than anyone, with the possible exception of Steve 👀

A rare outing - I’m kind of amazed I (mostly) recalled the words and chords. (It was a request made by someone for their mum - and I’m soft).
