Not heard that one. LowLog
Reminds me of my birthday party aged 8/9 and my dad had made a makeshift table with a big sheet of ply on some wooden cubes heād made to seat a load of kids around. Once weād all eaten and left the room a mystery log was found on the floor

Took a punt on this before the line up came out, price was too good to pass up and with disco pogo on board too thought it would be decentā¦and it is! Still more tbc, but some faves in there alreadyā¦

If anyone has a spare for Prefab Sprout in London on the Sunday can you let me knowā¦ Ta.
Two tickets going free for Pachyman at the Jazz Cafe on Thursday night if anyone fancies it? Mr COVID has made an unwelcome return in our house this weekā¦
A few days previous, but Watching Trees last weekend was fantastic.
Having dispensed with a half term of rain we had great weather all weekend.
When we got the location and I peeped at the map I thought āthatāll do nicelyā and i wasnt disappointed: brilliant little site.
Great, varied crowd. Many acts I wasnt that familiar with but arrived with open ears and was treated to loads of goodness throughout the weekend.
Only downside was Keith being unwell so only half of Optimo for their own event.
A quality āsonic resetā to kick off the summer, make me book more stuff in and encourage me to listen to the more diverse corners of my collection for a bit (and buy more records obviously).
Sign me up for next year!

Tempted by Bugged Out Weekender, but it would litetally take me a whole week to get over something like that these days.

Public Enemy at the Royal Albert Hall later this month.
PE are a really special group for me, I absolutely love their first three albums. Yo! Bumrush the Show in particular means a lot to me, a favorite since it came out.
As soon as I saw they were playing, I jumped online and grabbed a ticketā¦ only problem is, it was in the early hours after a heavy night of drinking, and I got a bit carried away and ended up booking one of the proper posh seats. Pretty sure the wife wouldnāt be too thrilled if she found out how much I spentā¦ so yeah, it better be a great show!

Is this Start to End thing? They are playing up here later later that week, are they supposed to be good? Its one of my fav albums so a bit unsure about going.

Popped in to Primavera Sound last night and was immediately reminded why I absolutely detest that corporate carnival of sin. Didnāt help that Caribou were incredibly boring, a real shame as I liked one or two bits in yearsā past. A few people in crowd were getting on it but the vibe generally felt flat. Was probably the third oldest there. Never again.

Yeah it did. Tickets were about 6 months in advance. Lineup about a week before the event!
There was an additional last minute release as some people had paid deposits and defaulted/changed plans I think.
I canāt see them not going again (fingers crossed), but would get in early for sure

Yeah I looked at that tribute thing and wondered the same. Just seen though that Paddy McAloon is doing his own Steve McQueen shows later in the year Martin McAloon | Musician
Edit - got carried away, itās his brother!
I mean if itās the original band it could be a lovely thing. Not sure how the lovely Dolby produced stuff will be done live but it could be great.
Edit - Itās a tribute band and they hide it really well. I think a few people are going to be like āwtf???ā

I was at a car boot recently and someone was selling a pretty battered copy of It Takes A Nation Of Millions and I turned to the bloke selling it and said, āThis record changed my life when I was 16. It opened up a world and history I had no life experience of and taught me things I had known nothing about.ā And the bloke looked at me and said, āYeah, I think Iāll keep it.ā And we had a bit of a moment!
