Seefeel - Fracture

Silenced

I couldn't stand her when the NME hired her and Parsons as those hip young gunslingers to cover that new fangled poonk rock. But silenced column appears in the Daily Mail. 

Am I missing something? I thought 'journalists' needed a basic understanding of the language they are writing in

Not quite sure why I didn't put pen to paper for 30 (very) odd years if not more but...

Here's an oldie of Costello followed by something I did this morning

On some level, you do have to respect how the reporter decides to still do her segment on the heatwave after announcing this. https://t.co/qMAZgSbGdU

I had this repost of Sean's contributing song to this Bristol compilation in my posts to do for quite a while and then Simon uploaded this mix just the other day so...almost like being down the Hot Sty. Here's a couple of vids of the mighty Rip Rig & Panic. Gawd they were so good. I was lucky enough to catch them lots of times from their first gig at the Kings X monkey/house to lots of London gigs via an Army Hall in York. Hope the person who stole all my live recordings actually knew what they got!
