I quite like a non* football weekend once in a while cos I can do summat else.

What's on the stereo?

I've started off with Sonic Youth.


*There is football but it's not like its proper tangerine football

could have sworn there was plenty of football going on this weekend including England playing tonight.
 
I'll listen to Pick of The pops at 1, as I've not listed to the retro chart show for a while because we're usually having a beer before the Blackpool match.1976 so should be good. Then I'll give Sergeant Peppers a spin as I've not listened to that for a while either.

Then off to a pub to watch England tonight. I'm probably in the minority but I'm glad there's a break because we need at least 2 weeks to either get players back (Keogh slight groin niggle) or integrate their replacements.
 
Don't mind the break love watching England and puts me in the good books with er indoors.
Off to a concert tomorrow only just found out you have to show proof of vaccine to get in!

Yes. There is football but unlike most weeks I am not travelling a minimum of a 2 hour round trip to see it, nor am I writing circa 2000 words on it, hence it has less impact on my life. I do realise noone asks me to write circa 2000 words on it but it's nice to just do fuck all occasionally.

I shall probably watch or at least listen to the England match. 👍

Have you got the tunes on tho 20s? That's the question.

I'm on Mogwai - As the love continues now.

 
Is the England game on? In the words of the great Bernard Manning, Thought they'd started the bbq without us.

It is forever since I've listened to that. I might listen to it on my headphones later cos I bought some decent ones a bit back and they're really interesting to listen to old stuff in cos I can literally hear more bits of the recording.

Probably not listened to it all the way through since I was about 15. Great record.

The other day, I came home from work pretty late on, parked my car and thought 'why am I thinking of a really old James song' and it turned out that I wasn't thinking of a really old James song', I could actually hear the real James playing in Williamson's park in Lancaster but just really quietly so I didn't notice immediately.

James have always been one of them bands that kind of pass me by, I dunno, they're grand, but they're someone else's favourites if that makes sense.

This track completely does me in though. The little change in key to the chorus. Wow. I always like reading Tim Booth cos he's mental in a good way.

I bought some sennheiser HD6xx on massdrop - they're basically identical to HD650s but a different colour and cheaper cos of the way Massdrop works.

They're ace. Really expose a lower quality source though and I have to run them off my actual amp cos nowt else I own (laptop/phone) will drive them.

Nice kit. Bit out of my price range to justify really but having looked on Massdrop (never seen this site before) maybe!
 
Talking of James, this is occasionally running around my head for no reason, then the first verse reminds me of Something Wicked This Way Comes even though it's not really the same and then I probably get quite melancholy about aging, because you know, that's really what the book is about.

Tbh, I spend nowt on owt but music or football. That's basically it. I got them cos I was listening to vinyl really quietly after everyone has gone to bed and thinking 'its pointless spending money on records, having a decent amp and deck and listening so quietly I can't actually hear the bass and stuff'

They will still be good in 20 years.

Investment 👍👍👍

Cheap enough on there (just looked), people spend more on those god awful airpod things.

They supported The Levellers a couple of years ago (shit it’s actually six years ago, that went quick) at Winter Gardens. Good Live 👍

They were at the last Beautiful Days too. Seen them at Castlefield Bowl a few years back, pretty sure it was a Levellers gig then, as well.
Great band.
👍
 

Nice bit of Evil Blizzard now. Who are from the wrong end of the M55 but in their defence, they're signed to John Robb's label so that's something.

MORE TUNES!!!

I've already committed that sin with the Boo Radleys above who although Scousers were straight outta Preston, they even signed with Action Records at first.

Also, any Pavement fans out there? Can’t wait to see them again next October. Am just about in this video (somewhere in the crowd at Reading 1994)

This is definitely in my top 50 tunes ever. Love a bit of Pavement. One of the most inventive and unique sort of 'indie guitar type' bands ever.

Stephen Malkmus stuff post pavement is also excellent. His Sparkle Hard album a couple of years ago was immense.
