Berlin Day 4: My run of seeing wins at Alte Försterei came to an end yesterday. Not the result that Union wanted or needed, but always the matchday experience down in Kopenick. Eisern Union ❤️🤘

Berlin Day 3: Great afternoon ticking off Ground 165 at Lichtenberg 47, some DDR sightseeing and bar hopping in Friedrichshain with @sussexstratton.bsky.social

Been back in my favourite city for a few days. One of those places where the vibe is one I love. Berlin, you never disappoint ❤️🇩🇪

Getting back into the swing of writing live reviews again in 2025 after a few years. Kicked things off with last weekend's wonderful celebration of underground metal rising to bigger stages - Green Lung & Unto Others at Kentish Town 💚💜 Go give it a read and listen to those awesome bands 🤘

However my music tastes have changed over time, The Jam remain one of my favourite bands Unfortunately never saw From The Jam with Rick on drums, but have him to thank for the many wonderful live shows I've seen Bruce play in that band. Rest in peace, Rick Buckler 🤘

For all the rock/heavy metal I love, ask me if there's a dream gig in the USA I'd ever throw silly money at to go to, there's only one answer, "Well if The Lonely Island ever decided to play more live shows..." This medley from the #SNL50 concert underlines why www.youtube.com/watch?v=UV-R...

Waking up and thinking of this again, NGL. The concentration to track the trajectory of the ball is like watching an NFL Wide Receiver run a route. But the touch to bring it under control is something else...fucking magnificent. #BHAFC

TWICE IN A WEEK OLÉ OLÉ #BHAFC

UTA 💙 #BHAFC

No one deserved to eat an L on the biggest stage than Butker, and all his teammates (yes even "Taylor Swift's Boyfriend") for defending his virulently misogynistic, anti-LGBT, anti-abortion speech about how women should aspire to be "homemakers" Makes Alan Brazil look like a choirboy in comparison.

Anyone who knows me knows who I'm supporting tonight. It's always ABC - Anyone But Chiefs. Go Birds, Saquon to the moon 🦅 #SuperBowl

Not a bad night at the Amex yesterday that #BHAFC

No surprise that the latest edition of @dogmabrighton.bsky.social is a sublime read as always. Doff of the cap to @swiftenburg.bsky.social for his piece on the IFR in particular. Resonates with my own view on the benefits of the regulator, but also some of its vocal detraftors #BHAFC

GOJIRAAAAAA 🖤😭 So deserved after being the best live band in the world for years and the centrepiece of an iconic heavy metal moment in the mainstream at the Paris Olympics Opening Ceremony. Flag bearers for everything great about heavy, alternative music 🤘

Might be my first game at the Broadfield in 20 years this. Long overdue return visit to watch Albion Women at home #BHAFC

Time to see if the many hours watching @taskmaster.tv have made me any good as a contestant!

Want to keep track of my favourite new music in 2025 better, so planning to post a graphic/playlist at the end of month feat my favourite singles, albums and EPs. Calling it "Sick Spins" because always needs a catchy name! Here's January's highlights 👇 open.spotify.com/playlist/2vn...

What a sight after a superb win vs Boreham Wood. So much is clicking right now, we are absolutely contenders to win the league this year. Long way to go, but the belief is there. Up the Worthing ❤️🐟

Jim Nantz said on live television an hour ago that the Chiefs knew the Bills sneak Josh over the left guard and the Bills apparently don’t have anyone watching the broadcast because they keep doing it and are 0-for-3

Another gutting Play-off loss for the Bills. Comes down to Joe Brady being out thought by Steve Spagnuolo in 2nd half IMO Went to 4th & short tush push call one too many times when Chiefs had it scouted. Going away from run/not using James Cook on that final drive at 29-32 was awful playcalling.

This is the face of courage and compassion. Thank you Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde for speaking truth to power on behalf of the marginalized.

Apologies for getting a bit political on main tonight. I think this cartoon sums it up.

Blue Monday is a piece of crap pseudo science originally part of a travel company's press release to sell holidays. Can we all try to avoid rewarding marketeers, using this term, which tries to sell goods by parasiting on the back of real mental health campaigns.

Ground #163 - Portman Road A massive three points on the road at Ipswich. Superb second half performance from the lads. Not bad that as a Thursday night goes UP THE ALBION 💙🤍 ##BHAFC

Quick reminder that Paul Barber wrote this in April on scrapping FA Cup replays: "Whilst they are typically well-supported and can be valuable for smaller clubs when they do occur, it’s undeniable that many replays are far less attractive and do not capture the imagination of fans in the same way."

Run it back #BHAFC

Initial thoughts on what's essentially the first New Music Friday of 2025. 🇨🇦 Nothing has made me smile like seeing two of Canada's finest, PUP & The Dirty Nil, gracing us with new tunes 🤘 Stick To Your Guns & Halo Effect are early fav albums that I will be going back to, latter in particular!

A stunning performance from the Rebels in the FA Trophy today against Torquay. Put the visitors to the sword in the first half and were absolutely clinical in front of goal, with some stunning finishes - Faal's 2nd for 3-0 in particular. In the hat for Round 5. Up the Worthing ❤️🐟

2024 - A year not of many big life achievements (taking another step towards some work goals aside) but certainly of memories made at football, gigs & more besides Cheers to all the friends and family that have made this year so wonderful! Here's to 2025 and beyond being like that 🤘🖤

Sad to read the passing of Piranhas front man Bob Grover. The Piranhas were a big part of the late 70s Brighton scene at the legendary Vault. If anyone doesn't know the Piranhas you'll have heard their signature tune 'Tom Hark' for sure. R.I.P. Bob Grover. A formative part of my teen music years

Busiest year of seeing live football I've ever had, but so many wonderful memories made with mates at Worthing and Brighton games (plus the odd game as a neutral here or there) ❤️🐟x💙🤍 May be hard to top or match it in 2025, but I'll no doubt give it my best shot 😂🍻

Santa baby, open up this pit for me

Feliz NaviBrad to you all, And to you all, Feliz NaviBrad 🎄🎅🤘

Santa Claus is coming to town, but not your town. You call this a tour?

Until next time, Vegas ☠️🖤

Not the best result or game, but I knew what my expectations were going into it. Just being able to finally get to Allegiant, be among #RaiderNation    at a home game and soak in the gameday experience was what this trip was all about. Until next time, RAAAIIIDEEEERRS ☠️🖤
