Listening to: E2-E4 by Manuel Gottsching. I hadn’t heard of this before someone mentioned it on some socials feed and it is great.
The theme for this month’s vinyl listening group meeting was Songs That Make You Happy. My prized copy of Kiss Power by Age of Chance didn’t go down too well but Nazi Punks Fick Off rocked the house.
Watching: We’re still watching Shetland from aeons ago (just finished series 5). As ever we start out enjoying the mood and characterisation but as it finishes we say never again due to the stupid unlikely plots and yet another female killer. La di da.
Reading: I’m rereading my Fortean Times collection dating back to the 80s (it’s not as good as it is now shock) and Trainspotting (which I’m digging even more than the first couple of times).
I finished reading Grant Morrison’s Animal Man run about 35 years later than everybody else and very much enjoyed it.
I also read Weird Science #20 for the first time in decades because I couldn’t recall the plot of 50 Girls 50. It’s wild and so very dark…
Gigs: The always uncool Rezillos at La Belle Angele and the ever so cool Barry Adamson at Cabaret Voltaire.
