I was indescribably fortunate enough to see the Dolls live in MCR a month after this was filmed. They were astonishing, incredibly good sleazy fun. David Johansen will be one of the coolest people I've ever seen, a real presence who absolutely oozed charisma. You couldn't take your eyes off him.

Into the pub after a beast of a working week and as soon as I sit down with a pint Pacific State by 808 State comes on the jukebox. Everything is going to be (briefly) alright.

Need to hear something positive coming out of America? Me too, so I've done a wee interview with Steve and Dave from 90s power poppers Gigolo Aunts. Their answers are funny, illuminating and wise. There is a really sad story about being beaten to the punch by possibly the world's worst band.

Booked tickets to go see a play about a pub in Shropshire called The Nags Head that has a haunted painting. I can never again claim theatre never covers my interests. May demand my money back if Jen doesn't come on stage and demand we shush 10 minutes before the end.

If Diana Rigg had a quid for every Indie gig or club featuring her as Emma Pell during the 80's, I reckon she would have around £86.00.

An early Xmas present for Soulies/Cinema(ies?) A stellar line up of guests from the demure Lisa Stansfield to the calm of Steve Coogan via the living legend that is Keb Darge. I'm going to get some mince pies and bang this in one go. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ISs7...

It's absolutely fucking outrageous humans don't hibernate like other animals. We could be in a duvet igloo eating Pringles and watching Aly McBeal or something until spring. But oh no let's all troop off to work while it's still dark and freezing outside like the saps we are. Absolute joke specie.

On the train next to some Birmingham City fans drinking Stella, Stone Island on display. Topics of conversation? How nice Shrewsbury is to visit and how high the pouf is compared to the sofa.

First thing I thought was 'I bet Kurt Cobains Cardigan isn't on there' and boom! there it is side one track one. Second thing I did was order it, this is a SUPER limited run of I guess not a best of of, but a great round up of the very early marital of one of indiepops (one word) true greats.

Essential reading this. Mayflies is one of my favourite books and Caledonian Road is a book of the year and whispers Andrew was involved in a VERY good indie single. I'd be stunned if the Start and Garter don't do a 'Born with a quiff' t-shirt.

For those who don't know this story, which I first shared six years ago today.... This one time I got my days wrong at work and ended up alone in a room with my boss and the President of Ireland while I was on ketamine. 🧵
