A photo from this afternoon's trip out to Heysham. One for all you Black Sabbath fans :-)

A black and white photograph of the six graves cut into the stone at St Patrick's Chapel in Heysham, which featured on the cover of 'The Best Of Black Sabbath'.

We went along to see the Ai Weiwei exhibition at Aviva. Absolutely terrific, would deffo recommend. (Tickets are £20, though. Don’t get me started on MIF.)

A photograph of the exhibition space at Aviva Studios, including several large pieces by Ai Weiwei: a huge image of lots of bombs; sculptures of animal heads representing the various Chinese astrological years; a beautiful black chandelier of Milano glass; and a representation of boat full of refugees.

I know Follow Friday is not really a BlueSky thang but whatever. I’m heartily recommending you follow the charming @danmud.bsky.social for all sorts of amusements and interesting stuff, and it was he who put me onto this book, which I have bought despite it having ‘*****rock’ in the subtitle. #ff

The cover of ‘Neu Klang’ by Christoph Dallach, The book is resting on a lovely wooden table although that’s not really obvious or, indeed, relevant.

A print of Nigel Tufnell from Spinal Tap above the word ‘Eleven’ alluding to the “one louder” scene in the film.
The print is on a woodblock that is currently leaning on a pint of Guinness.

Well that's rubbish news. My favourite venue in Salford :-(

A newspaper headline stating that the White Hotel, a venue in Salford, is to close down after "10 years of avant garde mayhem".

Having a sort through pictures and photos for framing, I came across this; me in 1989, just before we went onstage at Warwick University.

I fear my plans for Saturday are going to be lost to this book. Whether you’re interested in JFK’s assassination or not, I don’t believe it will affect your enjoyment of true stories that are about people, perception, memory, and the human search for meaning. Great concept and terrific writing.

The front cover of Martin Fitzgerald’s book ‘The Umbrella Man And Other Stories’, resting on my surprisingly yellow duvet.

Many years of (happily) following @judgedewie.bsky.social have led me here. I can only recommend you take the risk and follow him, too.

For completeness, here’s the signed poster, on our kitchen wall.

I've been listening to this album more than anything, this week, but I think it's only available through the Castles In Space subscription library. However, I will play a track from it on #electronicears, tomorrow 👍 'Exoplanets' by Andy Fosberry.

The front cover of Andy Fosberry's 'Exoplanets' album. It's a circle, split by multiple lines running through it's centre. Different abstract pictures appear in each slice of the circle.

My brother has just landed in Spain.

A screengrab of a conversation between my brother and an AI agent, which runs as follows:

My brother: what time is it where l am?
AI: The current time in Torrelavega, Cantabria, Spain is:
5:08 PM (17:08) — Thursday, March 26, 2026
Spain is on Central European Time (CET), which is UTC+1 in winter, or Central European Summer Time (CEST, UTC+2) during daylight saving time. Since DST in Europe begins the last Sunday of March, and that falls on March 29 this year, you're currently still on CET (UTC+1).
My brother: not even close!
AI: You're right, I apologize! I don't actually have access to a real-time clock, so I can't tell you the exact current time. I was just making up a number, which wasn't helpful.

I did indeed let him entertain me.

Tonight I went to see Imitating The Dog's 'War of the Worlds' at The Lowry, and it was the most extraordinary thing I've ever seen at the theatre. Absolutely brilliant. If you're within reach of Manchester, it's on until Saturday. Thanks to @guerrillabiscuits.bsky.social for the recommendation.

That was magnificent. It’s not my favourite track but, for some reason, ‘Burning Down The House’ had me in tears.

I’m clinging on to the hope that this is true.

A graffiti’d wall in/ on Berlin’s East Side Gallery. The English translation reads “Many small people who in many small places do many small things that can alter the face of the world”.

Here's a terrible idea. If you see anyone using one, do a good deed and point them in the direction of an actual PASSWORD PROTECTED password manager. And then destroy the book.

Dirty Three, Glasgow. Hopes 100% realised.

@warringtonruncorn.com I’m impressed by your gsm here, mister.

Three flyers collected from Capstone Theatre. The top one, advertising a gig by Warrington Runcorn New Town Development Plan, is printed on conspicuously nicer paper.

Finally picked up David Stubbs’ ‘Fear Of Music: Why People Get Rothko But Don’t Get Stockhausen’, and it’s excellent. Absolutely loved this about Derek Bailey. I had no idea about this side of his musical life.
