Mostly retired raver. Music is still the answer.

You're probably reading too much into it.
I made scones on Sunday. Mrs G said they were good but she prefers them a little more crumbly. Today she's realised she likes slightly stale scones.
Thanks bluesky for deciding to post all the failed attempts at this reply in one go.
All the Tory shops tbh. When I go to Booths, I make sure I let them know a pleb is in tha house. Last time I went in I bought a bag full of their expensive cocktail cans and took em to sit in the park and drink with Mrs G :D
I realised that. Some things just have different associations depending on... well what you associate them with!

Jaguars.
Burberry is from Castleford but I ain't about to claim that as working class no matter how much charvers might covet it
I associate Jerusalem with Rugby League, the quintessential working class sport.
Had a proper deep dive on The Rapture the other day. Better late than never
Watched 7 episodes of this and only clocked it was Eddie Hitler when I noticed his name on the end credits 😂
This week
Also made me wonder if there's a train station equivalent of the Extra Mile Guide
Quite impressed for a party to manage an even more shit start to life that Change UK. But Your Party isnt here to play second fiddle
Snap
Bar staff tend to hate it too. Part time drinkers I always think. A gig venue I go to regular, some gigs seem to attract queuers. Others not. I end up wondering if I should like the band if they attract people who queue at the bar. I've also tried to encourage people to go to the bar... They won't
It's that time of year
Bit good this
Went to see the Idrisi Ensemble tonight. Absolutely wonderful introduction to largely Mediterranean choral works. Beautiful stuff. www.idrisiensemble.com
Open source methods with questionable legal footing do a decent job!
It is. Friendly reminder to all headphone lovers: Sony phones.
From Magic Grandpa to Hypnotits and the party of David Icke. Spoiled for choice
youtu.be/3YRhIrUJN7A?... I grew up watching this on VHS. My lore. But never mind my black and amber tinted glasses. Watch an insane good game of RL. Look at the speed of it. And keep in mind Wigan are fully pro and Castleford semi.

Think the last time I was in a church Carl Cox was playing. This might as well be as different as if I went to an actual service
Can't say I'm in church on a Friday night on reg 😂
Thanking you. Been at an incredible gig and was able to wonder up and look at this wonderful sounding and utterly beautiful looking instrument
What on earth is this instrument?
That the latest Pete Cannon EP is absolutely fucking sick goes without saying. But let's take a moment to appreciate the cover too. Pete Cannon - 8-bit Shift E.P (N4029) Turn it up loud
Son has been to secondary school just a few weeks and is already starting to get youth slang. Got asked today what Six Seven means. Told him I don't know (I don't) and that whatever it means, I'm probably not meant to know
Listened to the Nine Inch Nails score for the new Tron film. I'm biased, clearly. But they waaaaaay off the mark set by Daft Punk. It's not even bad, in fact it's pretty good. But the DP one was just levels.
Not been feeling well today. Wrapping myself in a blanket now and listening to Bibio
I thought I'd seen comment that the reform crew don't really like Trump. That seems not to be the case
Finally the save button is here and I can bookmark this to enjoy later
Just finished Mick Heron's Clown Town (the latest Slow Horses book). Bloody hell that was good.
Oooh. I've just been eating the vanilla pistachio gelato from Lidl that rips off that mad expensive brand
More but not with the US. Why the fuck would we tie ourselves more to that basket case. Go speak to france instead
The EU has been far too slow and has been on just about everything in supporting of Ukraine and divesting from Russia. Pointing at the chimp in the whitehouse isn't good enough. There is sufficient capacity to end imports immediately
The remaining can be cut immediately. There's sufficient capacity in Europe. Italy and France export electricity.
Hypothetically they could sell for no profit. But in reality, countries need to stop buying it. There's no get out card for those funding Russia, blaming price caps.
Every now and again Rank 1 - Airwave vs True love never dies looms into my consciousness and I have to scratch the earworm.
"the issue isn't the (purchasing of) hydrocarbons" the bit in brackets because in the context of our discussion I can't see what other reading a person is meant to have of it. These countries have had plenty of time to stop funding Russia
The US Norway and Algeria have done a lot of the heavy lifting. Plenty comes into the gas storage in the UK from Qatar the US and Peru. I dare say there's some north sea for sale. And increasing renewables (and nuclear) of course.
I'm not entirely sure this is correct. At least for the western allies. France and Italy are no longer dependant
Can't make profit on what isn't sold. Why don't you want these countries to stop buying Russian oil and gas?
Don't care about what the orange baboon says. 1.72 billion oil and gas imports in the first quarter of 2025 is too much and could be cut further if Ukrainian allies stopped.
France, Belgium Italy and the Netherlands I believe still import Russian gas.
Are you developing a footwear fetish? Is that when you get a shoe horn? Jackson Lamb in fine form in Clown Town
I like being weird.
Have I risen above average? How wonderful.
No
A one two in my timeline. Wouldn't like to call it
I wanted to write but haven't done it for work. Not only am I very happy with what I do, I'm also well paid. And best of all, I didn't become the sort of person that talks about "average people".
#Raveyardshift 1991 All i want is a chance to dance so... www.youtube.com/watch?v=Om4J...
youtu.be/v9q6JaEW2IQ?... You may not have a car at all But remember brothers and sisters You can still stand tall
Cowies are cheaper and stronger than ever too. We could do with a few more people getting loved up rather than hitting the bosh
It's like how it would be impossible for them not to constantly wave Palestine flags at any protest
Demanding people tolerate your obsession with a racist moron. Maybe just drop it
Does it not bother any of the very serious men on my timeline deploring the continued use of X that there’s a huge missing cohort of people you’d expect to see on Bluesky? I mean: politically engaged Millennial/Gen Z/Boomer women (usually lifelong Labour voters).
A lot of the demonstrations against antisemitism people were asked to leave Israel flags at home. Is there any chance a wide group would ask the Palestine flags to be left at home for one day?
It's good. Enjoyed it enough to go seek out more.
I'm into hardcore and gabber but have no interest in animai. I started keeping at eye out for jcore though. But it seems that there's a subsection where the covers are disgusting lolis. I won't link because it's gross and I'm not even sure of the legality
Not all of it is japanese. I found this originally because I check bandcamp for things being released in Leeds dokibreaks.bandcamp.com/album/mahou-...
Thoroughly enjoyable. Although I thought it was bested by superman. Even if it did have his dog in it (no Dwayne Johnson though)
Started having a listen to some Japanese hardcore and breakcore. Some quite interesting stuff. But then it seems half the artists want to noncey weeb shit on their covers.
Round round round we go we go w go we go we go So so many ill as fuck versions on the various dubs and remix packs Jazz put out
Blasting this at neighbour upsetting volumes. So fucking good this. When they meld in Together towards the end I absolutely melt.
I'd clicked to reply asking if they copied Daft Punk of the other way around
At least half the squad aren't good enough so that might work
Let's give this a spin
Cup final hangover 😂
Venereal disease van just isn't as catchy
Not jealous. Totally not jealous 😂
Lol. I read the t-shirt like that before glancing up at what you wrote
Nice to read this from someone else. We have martial arts and rugby here. It's like a balanced diet
This. So much this. The idea that you can keep children offline until they're 18 and then magically they have good net habits is waaaay off the mark
Lol. Yup. That's why I like going via Gayle. The road up there is absolutely bonkers
Ooh, ok that'll suit the venue she's playing next more. I tend to duck leading singles. I like to wait for the full thing 😂
Yeah last time was in a proper concert hall attached to the opera house. The acoustics are perfect and you can hear a pin drop. This time it'll be more of a normal gig venue. She may play a different type of set tbh. This was all on a their amazing grand piano.
Kelly is back in Leeds soon. Saw her play a wonderful set at the amazing Howard Assembly room last year. I just hope the room she's playing is as good this time around.
That's Kilnsea to Hawes! Or at least it is the way I drive, sat nav tends to prefer going via Aysgarth. Although there's some cracking names on that route too
I feel like you found a game. Give a list of small Yorkshire villages and guessing where you'd be travelling from and too 😂 Kettlewell Starbotton Yockenthwaite Oughtershaw Gayle
Arvo Part - And I heard a voice Well. This is a complete show stopper. Beautiful choral release. Go listen to it right now.
That would definitely turn it red
Give it two episodes before they parody him afresh
Famously, a South Park parody also lead to the killing of Sadam Hussain
Must admit, I get the crushed beatles in there 😂
Reactivating the hallucinated trance states of Coil's cult chemical songbook, Kali Malone and Drew McDowall use physical modelling synthesis and just intonation to guide a spontaneous suite of saturated analog chimes and ohrwurm'd distortions boomkat.com/products/mag...
Great album. And be nice to get another winner from Yorkshire after the decade long London monopoly was broken last year.
Classic sample alert. I wish I could remember what from though..... www.youtube.com/watch?v=-NY6...
The perfect house track doesn't ex............. tell ya what, 13 year old me had some fucking impeccable taste.
I recall boomkat mentioning they had spice girl influences in their sound. Perhaps the guardian are influenced by boomkat in their writing. Either way, super album
Mrs G persuaded me into a good mattress a long time back. They're wonderful. And yeah plenty of walking, need to look after your feet for sure.
Yeah I'm in a fortunate position to be able to afford them and the way I see it they save me in the long run. I was burning through a pair of Timberland every couple of years. I buy a lot of the rest of my clothes second hand too helping me feel it wasn't too much of an extravagance
It's barely above minimum wage as it is. If it's salaried with no OT then it wouldn't take much to make it under minimum
Got tickets to go see Johnny Jewel again. Actually had a quick natter and a photo with him last time. Guy is an absolute unit, I expected him to be quite small.
It makes sense to me 🤷
"A couple with two children, aged three and seven, needs £74,000 a year between them." Grief. Probably very similar amount for a single parent as well.
But yeah, the ritual and that pop have a special kind of magic.
