The incredible Heartworms at the @concorde2.bsky.social in Brighton last night. None more goth.

This looks amazing. Everyone I know will be at this. Forget the Gathering of the Tribes, this is the Gathering of the WhatsApp groups.

One year since Regis and I hosted A Some Bizzare Evening at Centrala in Birmingham. A weird, wonderful and chaotic affair that saw the first public screening of Soft Cell’s Sex Dwarf video since 1982. Stevo was his usual baffling, frustrating, and very funny self and a good night was had by all.

Thanks! I have to admit, he was a bit of a style icon for me!

Favourite band with only one album under their belt before jacking it in? Nymphs. RIP Inger Lorre. #onealbumbands

I’ve only just heard this really sad news. RIP James, you were one of the good ones.

Another one of my albums of the year is Barry Adamson’s Cut To Black. I had a great freewheeling chat with Barry about it, which can be found on my Substack, The Dancing Architect. open.substack.com/pub/wesleydo...

What was supposed to be a quick Q&A with John Grant turned into a two-hour chat, which was so good I decided to put the whole thing on my Substack, The Dancing Architect. Part one is here: open.substack.com/pub/wesleydo...

John Grant’s The Art of the Lie is one of my albums of the year. I reviewed it for Record Collector magazine (link below), and also interviewed John for my Substack (link in the next post). recordcollectormag.com/reviews/albu...

The The released their first album Ensoulment for 25 years back in September. I reviewed it for Record Collector magazine, and a quote from it was used on the massive poster campaign around London! recordcollectormag.com/reviews/albu...

Weren’t Pet Shop Boys amazing on Strictly… last night? Earlier in the year @thequietus.bsky.social sent me to see them at the Royal Opera House, and they were majestic. thequietus.com/quietus-revi...

This year saw the unlikely return of The Wolfgang Press with their first album for 30 years. I had a chat with them for The Quietus to talk about the album and their connection to housewives’ favourite Tom Jones. thequietus.com/interviews/s...

Nick Cave is currently preaching to arenas up and down the country, but earlier in the year I wrote a long read for The Quietus, celebrating the 40th birthday of his debut From Her to Eternity. thequietus.com/opinion-and-...
