Got mixes back earlier for the last pieces of the OT album 4 puzzle. One of them sounds like the apocalypse (complimentary). I’ve always wanted to make records that nobody else could/would, and think I’ve achieved that with knobs on this time.

Back from a week away in Dorset, where I somehow managed to get sunburned. In October. Mad. Also very nearly ended up having the holiday ruined by the car breaking down, but managed to work out how to fix it myself from watching Green Flag diagnose the problem. ONE HUNDRED DAD POINTS TO ME.

We’ve not had John-Luke Roberts and John Robertson on the same episode yet, have we? That’d be fun for the mild tongue twisterness of the names.

Blaine is loved & revered as an amazing joke writer for a reason. This list is very special & just goes on & on. Impossibly funny.

It’s got me down to a tee, apart from maybe this bit

You’re being too harsh on either your looks or your abilities here buddy.

Punchy stuff - the 6.6% one was really nice, but both of these had a “you will have a headache tomorrow” vibe. Wish me luck…

I was wearing an Angine de Poitrine t-shirt earlier & walked past a guy who had two Dalmatians with him. We both looked at each other with a “the thing I like looks similar to the thing you like” smile and carried on with our days. 10/10, would recommend.

My new album is coming next week! I’m as excited and scared about this release as I ever have been. Sometimes it feels fuckin wild to have emotions this big about the sonic version of some drawings I did that in another life would have gone up on the fridge. But here we are! ❤️🌱🎧 #musicsky #ukmusic

B of Briz – her hair curly and messy and dirty blonde. She’s wearing a black velvet facemask covering her nose and mouth and ski-style goggles, ornately decorated in jewels and black ferns. Wearing all black, except for the gold flashes in her shoelaces and embroidered jacket. She stands in front of a shadow of her mask.

Just remembered talking to someone who was cat sitting for Stewart Lee and asking him whether cleaning out its litter tray was gross at first, but that it’d stop being gross after a while, then eventually it’d end up being really gross again after a while.

354. Braces - EP A fun Domestica-adjacent EP from two of Cursive.

100

Barry (Non Canon/Oxygen Thief) @dolanthology.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

The maddest album show I ever saw was Helmet playing Meantime in reverse tracklisting order. Made sense though as that album is stupidly front-loaded, so meant the gig ended on a massive high.

010

Barry (Non Canon/Oxygen Thief) @dolanthology.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Yeah it worked really well, think they were feeling icky about being seen as a nostalgia act but they’ve come around to it being a nice fun thing to do.

Barry (Non Canon/Oxygen Thief) @dolanthology.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

353. Cursive - Domestica I often get blinded by how much I love The Ugly Organ and forget how amazing this one is. Seeing them play it live in full a couple of years ago on a tiny London venue was incredible.

100

Barry (Non Canon/Oxygen Thief) @dolanthology.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

*Have heard a few tracks from this "live", I mean. I've obviously listened to the EP a metric fucktonne.

100

Barry (Non Canon/Oxygen Thief) @dolanthology.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

352. Cursive - Burst and Bloom EP Have heard a few tracks from this over the years, but I'd love to hear this one played in full. Would love to make an EP as fierce as this too. Imagine writing/releasing Domestica, this, The Ugly Organ + b-sides AND TGL - Album of the Year in the space of 4 years?

Barry (Non Canon/Oxygen Thief) @dolanthology.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

351b. Cursive - The Ugly Organ (remastered, disc 2) Some great songs on this one. I hadn't made the connection between The Recluse and Excerpts... until a couple of years ago. The b-sides really expand the world of the record, which I think is pretty rare for this sort of thing.

Changing strings before a gig: the worst thing about being a guitarist.

Barry (Non Canon/Oxygen Thief) @dolanthology.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

351. Cursive - The Ugly Organ (remastered, disc 1) Separating this out into two, because of Reasons. My joint favourite album of all time, along with Manics - The Holy Bible and Thrice - The Illusion of Safety. It has everything; riffs, noise, hooks, calm, storms, layers upon layers. Perfection.

Barry (Non Canon/Oxygen Thief) @dolanthology.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Saw them play Bar Academy in Birmingham on this tour. There was a weirdly long time between them & support, during which the sound engineer played the same 5 songs on a loop. Torture.

Barry (Non Canon/Oxygen Thief) @dolanthology.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

350. Cursive - Happy Hollow A real about turn after The Ugly Organ, this was the first to come out after I got into them so it'll always hold a bit of a special place in my heart.

We also saw Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club that afternoon, ate two meals out, and went drinking until about 5am. One of the best/most expensive days of my life.

Yeah, good fun...though slightly surpassed by these two I also saw: www.setlist.fm/setlist/curs... www.setlist.fm/setlist/curs... Playing The Ugly Organ in full but cut up a bit was weird, but it meant they finished with Sierra & Staying Alive so 😍

"Hey Barry you should be using Ecosia instead" well yeah I normally do but it's even worse:

An ecosia search for "cursive clwb ifor bach cardiff" that displays fuck all information about when that venue played that venue in that city

100

Barry (Non Canon/Oxygen Thief) @dolanthology.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

I know it's an oft-beaten drum but search is so fucked. Google automatically binned off the first word in my search term. Why? This is with a bunch of settings added to nix AI searches as well. I don't think I've ever typed in a specific search and had anything useful from the algorithm twist

Google search results for "cursive club ifor bach cardiff" that show a bunch of results just for the venue, but that specifies "missing: cursive" and then has a link for "show results with cursive".

100

Barry (Non Canon/Oxygen Thief) @dolanthology.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

349. Cursive - Mama, I'm Swollen Not my favourite, but has some of my favourite songs on there. Font memories of seeing them play Big Bang at Clwb Ifor Bach in Cardiff in *checks notes* 2009. Wow.

110

Barry (Non Canon/Oxygen Thief) @dolanthology.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

348. Cursive - I Am Geminii A weird one, but their most all-out rock too. I love it. Saw them in a random East London venue that I've never been back to since. Think @bsmrocks.bsky.social organised it? Would love to hear more of these live + cello.
