Matt Jones @maffrj.bsky.social · 22hHaving heard you do Back For Good in Manchester previously, I fully expect a rendition of this on Friday. 010
Matt Jones @maffrj.bsky.social · 11/10/2026I think it was for most people, just not those of us at the front. 110
Matt Jones @maffrj.bsky.social · 11/10/2026The only thing I have in the pipeline is the Mountain Goats on Friday at Manchester Albert Hall. I haven't really thought about anything else, although I did look at the lineup for Primavera Sound the other day 😬 110
Matt Jones @maffrj.bsky.social · 11/10/2026Apparently it was "the trade off you get for being close to the talent" 🙄 Spoke to people afterwards and it seems like only the first few rows had any issues. My first time at Band On The Wall might just be my last. 010
Matt Jones @maffrj.bsky.social · 11/10/2026Yeah, we were gutted tbh. Someone in the front row even put "VOCALS UP" on their phone screen and showed Bill but he basically said there was nothing that could be done. 210
Reposted by Matt JonesDavid Bryant @23daves.bsky.social · 11/10/2026Blog update: Nick Cave reached number one in the indie charts with "The Mercy Seat" in July 1988, a track which combined sinister poetry with a direct, frantic rush of panic and basic repetition. It remains one of his finest singles. indienumber1s.blogspot.com/2026/10/119-... 1245
Matt Jones @maffrj.bsky.social · 10/10/2026A busy one. This week I've played everything I got from @noiseannoys78.bsky.social in the quoted post, plus this lot. #WhatIPlayedHashtag 180
Matt Jones @maffrj.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Gerry Love as the support on the other hand, just stunning. Ably assisted by Tom on flute, glockenspiel and Korg, he played a wonderfully understated set of some of his finest TFC compositions, including Star Sign, Don't Look Back and Ain't That Enough. We got Sparky's Dream in the encore too. 060
Matt Jones @maffrj.bsky.social · 10/10/2026I never thought I'd say it, but a really disappointing Buffalo Tom gig at Band on the Wall last night, purely due to the fact that apparently the front row shouldn't be expected to be able to hear the vocals. Could barely hear Bill, and Chris might as well not have been singing in his songs. 350

Matt Jones @maffrj.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Had an email earlier to say that Julian Cope has reissued this as part of his "Ambient Autumn 2" and if you like the idea of one track of 70 minutes of looping chilled out instrumental mellotron drone then you should jump at the chance to get a copy. It really is excellent.merchandiser.headheritage.co.ukAvila in AlbicellaBack again by special request! Issuing from the very tail end of the 20th century, this unusual and remarkable 70-minute Mellotron piece was recorded as a sleep aid for Cope’s then primary school-age ... 150
