Thanks @gidamo.bsky.social for bringing this last week. It's so hoppy it's like sucking on a hop sack! But that's a good thing in this case. @marcusbrent.bsky.social @brentaidan.bsky.social

Tommy’s new job #earlydoors

Ready for the 12th birthday of Scunthorpe Parkrun.

Heading to the Putney & Kensington area next week. Any good pubs/bars for beer &/or food? #beerpeople @totalcurtis.bsky.social @morrighani.bsky.social @atjbeer.bsky.social

Westvleteren Blond. Only had this about 5 times. I'm cellaring the other two beers they produce. Sublime @marcusbrent.bsky.social @gidamo.bsky.social @brentaidan.bsky.social

This album will be 35 years old on Friday 21st February. Stunning. @marcusbrent.bsky.social

@marcusbrent.bsky.social this is 51 years old today. Marr didn't like the production - I think it's rather good to be honest!!

Scunthorpe Parkrun with @rachelmorrison.bsky.social this morning. Now awaiting our times - hint Rachel a lot quicker than me!!!

@marcusbrent.bsky.social can you believe this is 40 years old today? Still brilliant, of course!

ANDY (A GUY LIKE YOU) describes the moment Warhol drove across America to visit Dennis Hopper in LA and have his 1st exhibition. It was the start of the pop art revolution, the moment the 1960s started coming into colour. 1 minute of video below, watch whole 2.26 here www.youtube.com/watch?v=Um2U...

Today is World Cancer Day. This is me after my Prostatectomy last April. The operation was successful and I currently remain cancer free. I think of those awaiting diagnosis, of health workers supporting those with cancer & those whose diagnosis' aren't as positive as mine.

I ran my first Parkrun of 2025 today. Time to come soon!

@marcusbrent.bsky.social @brentaidan.bsky.social @gidamo.bsky.social Life is full of surprises. Just been to Doncaster and The Draftsman had these - Westvleteren Trappist beers and a bottle of De Garre for the just & £39! These beers are not just rare but also wonderful! What a find! What a result!

@atjbeer.bsky.social reflections on how pubs change during the year. Travelling around the UK he gets a real picture of the changes the Seasons bring. It's about people, life & being; it's about interactions, meetings, celebrations & remembrances. It's a joy to read & makes you long for your Local.

@brentaidan.bsky.social @gidamo.bsky.social @marcusbrent.bsky.social this is another beautiful piece from @atjbeer.bsky.social rs poignant & relatable - a local pub is where life, history and community lie.

This, Suede's 2nd album after reforming, was released on 22/1/2016. They truly have been in a new Purple patch. @suedehq.bsky.social @brentaidan.bsky.social

I love a Belgian Quad. Tartarus really do know how to make brilliant Quads and this is no exception. @marcusbrent.bsky.social @brentaidan.bsky.social @gidamo.bsky.social

RIP John Sykes. 🎸

Bowie released Station to Station on this day in 1976. Yet another brilliant entry into his canon of work.

My latest read: A series of dark and, often, disturbing short stories that make you think of Patriarchy, how we treat animals, WWIII, experimentation on animals and more. Engaging, thought provoking and, occasionally, frightening.

Remembering David Lynch whose death was announced today. He supplied the artwork and sang on two songs on this wonderful album.

First video from our album Life, Death And Dennis Hopper lands today. HOPPER'S ON TOP celebrates the moment Dennis struck success with his movie Easy Rider. Triumph! Vindication! Ecstacy! www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6o9... Play loud, y'all #TheWaterboys #RockAndRoll #DennisHopper Love to Hollywood + LA

You can now see the official video of the first song, HOPPER'S ON TOP (GENIUS), from the new 2025 Waterboys album LIFE, DEATH AND DENNIS HOPPER (out 4 April on Sun Records) at youtu.be/N6o9HsvbekQ?... Pre-order links to be announced soon.

It would've been Cozy Powell's birthday today. To my mind this album showcases all that he was about! From the amazing Stargazer & Light in the Black where he was full throttle and commanding to the rock steady rhythm on Run with the Wolf...he was at his majestic best on this.
