Robert Hensley-King @robertusrex.bsky.social · 14hAt the moment, only next Saturday out. As far as I know… 🤣 120
Robert Hensley-King @robertusrex.bsky.social · 14hAgreed. For our generation, music is as much a part of our personal bibliography as the books we’ve read. Losing - or letting go - of books and audio media along the way is tough. 020
Robert Hensley-King @robertusrex.bsky.social · 15hYes, the backstory adds another layer to the album. I’m going to be playing it again after the pub 🤣 220
Robert Hensley-King @robertusrex.bsky.social · 15hI like how the lyrics have a rawness to them. I found the tape I recorded for my Walkman at my childhood home when my dad died. It was a few years ago now. Anyway, the sonds really resonated with me at that time. 230
Robert Hensley-King @robertusrex.bsky.social · 15h🤣 I’m cited in a thesis on dark humour. There’s no shame in it… not in my opinion anyway. Besides, I’m sure I’ll be helping a pint or two on their way later 😝 120
Robert Hensley-King @robertusrex.bsky.social · 15hFair points. The band seem to have matured a lot in their sound between the two albums. I suppose they played the key songs on Boy live for a while before recording their debut album. Usual second album story… I feel October deserves much more love…. It should be a great listening party 120
Robert Hensley-King @robertusrex.bsky.social · 19hEnjoy! October can be played in any month but the Saturday clean is a fixture for many of us 🤣static.klipy.comTom the Cat Cleaning in ApronALT: Tom the Cat Cleaning in Apron 120
Robert Hensley-King @robertusrex.bsky.social · 20hPerhaps it could be material for an autumnal listening party with @marseline.bsky.social. Possibly double feature with Boy or Under A Blood Red Sky 🤔 120

Robert Hensley-King @robertusrex.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Very nice! I just skipped through the tracks and will definitely play it all later. Driving through Le Mans again and again and again and again 🖤😎 120
Robert Hensley-King @robertusrex.bsky.social · 01/10/2026He said he has family in Canada… 🤣 Joking aside, the performance was excellent. He clearly loves the songs and singing them. 110
Robert Hensley-King @robertusrex.bsky.social · 01/10/2026It was a really good gig, thanks. He stuck to the songs and was on fine form. The band members had a group hug before leaving the stage. I meant to send you this clip. 110

Robert Hensley-King @robertusrex.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Thanks. I went to the North American premiere of Del Toro’s Frankenstein in Toronto. I’d love to attend a live orchestrated screening of Whale’s film 110

Robert Hensley-King @robertusrex.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Yes, years ago! I will watch the restored version when it’s available here in Canada 010
Robert Hensley-King @robertusrex.bsky.social · 21/09/2026I can imagine. Thinking of guitarists who left us too soon, I went to the premiere of a new doc about the Pretenders. It was nice to hear Chrissie Hynde talk fondly about James Honeyman-Scott both in the documentary and afterwards during the Q&A. 110
