80s King Crimson day yesterday. Discipline, Beat, Three of a Perfect Pair. While many of their 70s pairs were creatively dying on their arses, KC were pumping out consistently pioneering gear. Unreal career.

Edit: Even got a bit of proto-Angine de Poitrine from parts of Sleepless last night!

Went to see the Beat tour in London last month. Absolutely superb gig! Love that Crimson era too

I posted this lot a few weeks ago but they have a new tune out. Sounds great. Can't wait for the album.

Why do folks think it's OK to simply not report a crime? We have a secure bike park at work but yesterday some wee cunts managed to get in and attempted to steal my bike. They didn't manage but their efforts caused about £400 of damage to my frame. Reported to building management and all I have have had is excuses and apathy. "Ah well at least they never took it", "What can you do!", "No point phoning the police as what will they do?"

Absolutely fucking infuriating attitude. It's meant to be a secure area and I need two separate badge scans to access it - again I'd have thought that might be a cause for concern for security. Nope. More excuses.

Now...I fully appreciate there isn't much that can be done about it but that shouldn't mean we all simply give up reporting things!

In London for work tonight and rather than face a team night out I took a chance on a small pub gig from a band I've never heard of... absolutely glad I did as they were brilliant! Well worth checking out if you like post-punk, Krautrock kind of stuff.

New band for me and stumbled across randomly. Been on constant spin today. Really enjoying it

For as long as I can remember people have generally kept left... pavements, shopping aisles, corridors, stairs, cycle lanes etc. Now it's just a fucking free for all. Walking round town these days, especially now when it's busy, is murder 🤬

BEAT - Beat Live

I love the 80s King Crimson Albums! Great to see them being toured by this amazing lineup! Incredible musicians! Just picked up tickets to their gig in London and cannot wait!

Maybe mentioned elsewhere already but I'm really enjoying the new album by Just Mustard. Only checked them out because they are supporting The Cure next year but have been spinning the album repeatedly all week.

Been on a Gentle Giant binge this week. Such a great band. The Steven Wilson remastered albums sound absolutely superb! A really talented and technical band. Watching old live videos of theirs is a joy!

What is the point of putting a lovely, comfy, sofa and table in a hotel room when the only decent position to view the immovable TV is lying on the bed 🫣

Friday night. A few beers and this. Absolutely superb! Love this band

I've a friend that has been calling everyone Squire since our school days - well over 30 years now! I was indifferent to it for years but it's starting to get on my tits as we approach 50 🫣

I hope there's a special place in Hell for whoever started putting elastic in denims 🤬

Went to see Stewart Lee last night. Absolutely superb. Probably the best show I've seen from him in a while! It being on a Saturday night certainly helped with a rake of pints beforehand! Really great show
