Spent my whole life with borderline low BP, then when I hit 50 it started to climb for no apparent reason. Been on daily meds for 3-4 years now. As other have said, take note Blues, it is a silent killer. Nothing betrays that more than the fact that, here in the US, on my health insurance, the...

The Birthday Party - Dead Joe

Well, my post above shows why I don’t gamble on sports. Both Bury and Macc made it through. Macc now face Marine at home on Monday for a spot alongside NPL champions Radcliffe in the National League North next season. Should be a good ‘un. In the NWCFL playoff final, for a place in the NPL First...

Absolutely love this song, one of the very best. Half of what Blur have done is instantly forgettable, the other half is supreme.

Half Man Half Biscuit - Blue Badge Abuser

I live in the States and this idea can fuck right off. I don’t want to watch City play here, even if it’s down the street.

Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band - My Human Gets Me Blues

A few big local games on Tuesday night in the semi-final playoffs. Both are one-off games that have to be settled on the night, pens if needed. In the NW Counties, it’s Bury vs Charnock Richard at Gigg Lane. The away team made an amazing run in the last few weeks of the season, clearing out a...

Placebo - Nancy Boy

The Velvet Underground - I’m Waiting for the Man

Great photo and I hope you’re enjoying the trip to that amazing city. Was there just before Covid - planned on going up, but it was a wild and windy day and the viewing platforms were shut down. I spent the afternoon in the base building, which is, in itself, incredible. No-one does the ‘entire...

Reminds me of the old Archie Gemmill quote about Graeme Souness. “If he was a chocolate drop, he’d eat himself”. At least Souness won things though and that Liverpool side were generally a bearable bunch.

Throbbing Gristle - Maggot Death

That old stand at Moor Lane was something else. Saw Radcliffe play there a few times in the 80s and 90s. Stirred up the Nobby Stiles sitting on those concrete steps on a wet Tuesday night. Was better to stand up.

Heavy metal gengenpresse, or something…

You may well be the first person to ever have. I can’t believe they still make it.
