#THEBEAUTIFULONES: little up-and-coming beat combo playing two sets in a little venue, new album does indeed sound good live, very good setlist, even sneaking He’s Dead in there… #suede #autofiction

#SUEDE: I never noticed that #TheDrowners was a double-A side. Three pieces of vinyl, 5 absolute bangers, schoolboy error throwing away #KillingOfAFlashBoy on a B-side. #12inchvinyl #myinsatiableone #metalmickey

#FRANZFERDINAND: I first heard of them at the penultimate #Suede gig in 2003, at the Brixton Academy, when I walked past someone wearing a striking T-shirt with the FF logo on it. They must have been industry or something, because they barely had one single out. But it’s been almost twenty years and they’re still with us, playing a CV tiny club in #Kingston, thanks to @banquetrecords and their stellar line-up all year round. Top gig, packed with energy. #gig #livemusic #indieguitar

#DOUBLEBILL: when @suedehq and @thepretendershq announced a special one-off benefit gig for their mate John Brandham, I nearly flipped - amazing! And it was. Chrissie and her band are amazing, and we dived into the mosh for #Suede once again for the hardest-working band in showbusiness. (Danny and the Champions of the World were excellent, too, great sound). #brandaid #thepretenders #chrissiehynde #bucketlist

#Britpop time, including one of the greatest 12-inches of all time with a B-side arguably better than the A-side. #suede #thedrowners #metalmickey #killingofaflashboy #wearethepigs

Awesome. You look all over for someone who can really fix leather and they turn out to be two streets away. Standup job replacing nearly all the stitching on my old blue suede jacket which was falling to bits. Bought in Toronto’s Kensington Market back in 1998 for approximately £15, it was actually made in Canada to boot and well worth saving. £35 to fix, and the guy spent four hours alone on Sunday working on it just so he could do a job he was satisfied with. Motorbike leathers next methinks. Pamir Leather Repair on 38 Page Street SW1. Bloody outstanding. #suede #repair #leather
