Joy Division for me. Too many of New Order’s songs annoy me, including Blue Monday.

Brilliant tune! Always reminds me of my days at Uni in Sheffield in 97/98. Smoked a lot to that and Deliverance by COC which was on the other side of my taped copy. Great days!

Liverpool winning 6-3 away against LASK, and City losing 3-0 at home to PSG before halftime, is just the lift this week needed.

I’m not overtly political on here, but I do hold some particular persuasions.

Highlight of my day was jokingly asking my 28 year old colleague how he was celebrating 9/11 and then having to explain how the WTC incident was a pivot point in history and the main reason everything is so shit these days. He was 3 at the times and is blissfully unaware of world events. Jealous!

🤣 I’m Lancastrian and have zero issues stating that Yorkshire was fantastic for anything core. They should be proud they’re listed as a Leeds band.

I finally, as a UK resident, get to see them in November and can’t fucking wait! Loved ‘em from day one and have a complete collection of their vinyl to prove my point.

The cultural awareness of the English regarding Grindcore is sadly lacking. I fear we’re fighting a losing battle.

I didn’t mention Lawrence (who died of MND) above as he couldn’t make this gig due to being too ill. Just to clear up any contradiction.

I loved being a Hob. Many adventures were had across the UK, Plus a two gig trip to Lithuania during my membership. Four members since I joined have now passed on through overdose, suicide, cancer and MND. I’ll never forget any of them.

I always think of myself as open minded and love to search out new music, but my favourite albums so far this year are Neurosis, both Converge records, and At The Gates. Maybe nothing has changed in the past 30+ years?

On the musical side, not striving for perfection. Some of the best records are far from”perfect” even though they are to my ears. On a personal level, being honest to yourself and kicking against the pricks.

So long Arne Slot. Think I had more faith in you than most, and this season has been difficult for various reasons, but it’s probably for the best. Thanks for the Premiership title! Onwards. YNWA!!!
