Social media chefs - what’s so harmful about your food that you need to wear those same sinister black surgical gloves that my car mechanic puts on to do an oil change?

We heard an ice cream van playing its tune at the top of our road earlier, eventually it got to our end of the road and turned into the next street and we could hear it for ages. I said to the wife, “he’ll never catch any criminals going that slow.”

Huge respect to the acoustic Frank & Walters for tonight’s gig in Le Pub, Newport with our Men of Gwent in support! Their fans bought all the merch we brought and were the nicest people you could wish to meet. Thank you all so much!

The new @thebeths.bsky.social album, ‘Straight Line Was A Lie’ is as perfect a guitar pop album as you’ll ever hear. Just like their previous 3 albums.

The always excellent BODEGA in Bristol last night. People talk about band chemistry but rarely have I seen a band so perfectly in sync with each other on stage. Every person has a huge presence that that only ever compliments. Plus, the songs are killer.

Just found on ITVx they have a bunch of old Kojak episodes, so that’s me sorted for a few weeks. Hector Salamanca from Better Call Saul is a baddie in this one..

Also had the privilege of performing at their wonderful Laugharne Weekend with Jon Langford and Men of Gwent, sharing the stage with some true greats like Martin and Eliza Cathy, John Shuttleworth and Stewart Lee plus a ton of other really great stuff. Super nice.

Never been to Laugharne in West Wales before, daft bugger. It’s great! Got to see its epic Norman castle and go inside Dylan Thomas’s writing shed with its stunning views.

The Tubs in Bristol last night. 1/3 Meat Puppets (Up on the Sun era), 1/3 Richard Thompson, 1/3 Nine Below Zero. Therefore, fucking amazing..

Anyone beat a 38 year gap between seeing the same band live? Circle Jerks in Bristol last night, last time was 1987 in London.

I think about this song a lot. 43 years after I first heard it the words hit harder than ever. “Murder is a crime - unless it was done by a policeman, or an aristocrat” “You have the right to free speech - unless you’re not dumb enough to actually try it.” 43 years ago?! #theclash #joestrummer
