@TAFKAMacM @Nickfromupnorth Going to see Misty in Roots again in a couple of weeks in London (with The Cimarons and Rhoda Dakar)

@ScotsPostPunk @Nickfromupnorth Quite a day.

Because Strawberry Switchblade's Let Her Go wasn't a hit, unlike Since Yesterday there were very few TV performances. We only know of two! Here's the first, from UK kids' TV show Saturday Superstore, 16 March 1985

On this very day in 1936 a true visionary was born. Happy Birthday Lee "Scratch" Perry 🎂

@julesobee Oh, man... We're a right crooked bunch, so the therapy could be the best option (if it ever happens). [Press CTRL+ALT+DEL]

So, my 1st day of therapy failed to happen cos of tech issues. Losing the will to keep therapy up, tbh. Maybe, I'm better off with all my wonderful mates on here?! Eff'd if I know. Take care all, as always, eh, luv 2 the lot of u!!

@julesobee 😆

@ScotsPostPunk Have a feeling, I will need Therapy? post therapy, Mike. Have Screamager lined up already, m8!! 🤣🤣

So many gorgeous people on here, so thank you, everyone!

@julesobee 😆 All good, pal. Best of luck with that - hope it’s less bone shattering than “Therapy?” therapy…

@ScotsPostPunk All okay, cheers, Mike. Restarting therapy at 3pm, and I don't mean I've got Troublegum on repeat! 🤣 Hope all very wonderful with you, aye?

Bee Gees without music hit different 🤣

"Things can irritate me to such a point that I get into a frenzy but then I escape into music & use it as an absolution. It's like going into the equivalent of a dream world. Things get resolved through music just as things get resolved through dreams." 📸Billy MacKenzie in 1996

"Old pirates, yes, they rob I Sold I to the merchant ships Minutes after they took I From the bottomless pit But my hand was made strong By the hand of the Almighty We forward in this generation Triumphantly Won't you help to sing These songs of freedom? 'Cause all I ever have "

@Carolyn_on_X Black Slate were a great band!

OTD 19 March 1978, 999 supported by Black Slate and The Stukas played the Roundhouse, on one of their regular Sunday punk nights. 999's debut album '999' was released the same month. It was Black Slate's 1st UK tour. Poster from boredteenagers.co.uk #punk #reggae
