#HEARTWORMS: @iamheartworms doing their best #Siouxsie opening for @st_vincent at the #royalalberthall. Queued from about 15:30 to get to the second row for both these acts, and both delivered. #gig #music #life #london

IDER

A cracking bunch of songs from IDER but not a lot of performance to go with them, despite the great chemistry from the duo. Hard to get these songs onto a stage without an expensive band to help, but a decent gig courtesy of my man Duff - very good songs, great voices.

#VINYL: two excellent birthday presents, one deferred until today. Stunning #MilesDavis session and the new #TheWho album signed by Mr Townshend @yaggerdang at our brilliant local record shop @sleeve_notes_records (I turned up early this morning to bag a copy). Both recommended. I cannot believe how good the Miles Davis is, in fact, previously only available on CD on the Complete In A Silent Way Sessions - which I may have to get now… #music #jazz #rock

Support your local #recordshop. Ken @sleeve_notes_records ordered this beautiful new album from @avamusic for me. Cheaper than AMZN and no tax evasion. Support culture. #music #vinyl

Mum kept all my old toys. Apparently we used to make things in England before the dastardly EU. Actually we still make enormous amounts of things, we just don’t have to dig things out of the ground first. We make #words and #code and #music and all of those things have helped to make the world worth living in. #meccano #toys #madeinengland

I spent literally all the money in my wallet at #Meltdown2018 buying #GodIsAnAstronaut albums from their stand as they were excellent and totally adorable explaining how stunned they were when #SirBobbySmith asked them to do Meltdown. Now I’m going to open them all and play them. I’ve seen @giaa_band twice and they’re magnificent. #music

I had pretty much forgotten that I had stumped up for a new @salad_band album @pledgemusic but here it is! A great way to support your fave bands. When this hangover has lifted I shall shuffle off downstairs and give it an airing. #goodlovebadlove #saladband #music

Another triumphant night singing our hearts out and hammering out tunes on the #ukulele at #balhamukulelesociety #music

Twenty years later, I’m holding a new/old album from @salad_band and here goes Saturday! #nostalgia #music

Super exciting - #Kraftwerk releases a set of eight albums performed live around the world at museums, galleries and concert halls. My school buddy Tim was massively into them, and he gave me a copy of #TheMix before we saw them at #BrixtonAcademy back in 1991. They were brilliant! Loved them ever since. Go check them out on #Spotify next time you need something to listen to… #music #autobahn #RalfHütter
