Unlikely - he’s a Scouser. Also not related to the unloved Chairman from ‘91-01, Dan McCauley. I remember standing in the Devonport end whilst everyone chanted McCauley is a w**ker. Not ideal.
The following year he signed to Ipswich for £220,000 - a princely sum back then - a canny move by Bobby Robson though.
Oh, the grand old duke of york

I meant to buy this in 1987, but funds were not available. Good to put that right 39 years later. It’s been a while since I bought an @alternativetent.bsky.social album, for shame. One for @matthsheff.bsky.social.
First 2026 music purchase. URGH. Ours was red.

Second post of extraordinary music today; Lankum’s reworking of Ghost Town is a rare treat. It starts as you’d expect, then mutates into something akin to Koyaanisqatsi era Philip Glass, then turns into a disco banger. Essential. youtu.be/aLLnF4vxaeY?...
Alan Sparhawk’s response to recent events in Minnesota; here’s hoping he’s right.

Perhaps not Dave. He lived in Sheffield and his partner worked costumes at Sheffield Theatres. I think he used to arbitrate disputes between neighbours. Fairly certain he was mates with Steve.
Yes to the Shellac gig - I recall Wibble being quite cross about the encore. I believe Fluffy Steve and his mate, who I want to call Dave ‘the Leg’ were also in attendance. Have I made this up?
No luck finding the Ten Benson gig - but a search did reveal two ‘lost’ Leadmill gigs - Shellac c. ‘98 and Urusei Yatsura plus Prolapse around the same date. Huzzah!
My guess would be a bass guitar and some kind of wahwah pedal. I saw them live just once at the Leadmill supporting someone, no idea who though. 🙁
I’m going in…

Great to see @mogwai.scot again last night in Birmingham. Treated to Like Herod and …Fear Satan. 💙
Who says Birmingham isn’t for lovers? 🖤
If ever the light rail service to Stockbridge comes to pass, this may see a new lease of life - though I’m not holding my breath!
It absolutely is - there’s also another stairway entrance from the Wicker - the archway on the right here.
If you see this, post an album cover with a motor vehicle on it.
The collection currently comprises around 8,200 drawings, 7,600 paintings, 4,800 prints, and 1,000 sculptures, in addition to many other works of art and historic documents.

Especially if you’re a family of vegetarians. Didn’t think it through.
We ditched ours - rarely used and a bit of an eyesore.

Couscous proper is about 2 mm in diameter, but there also exists a larger variety (3 mm more) known as berkoukes, as well as an ultra-fine version (around 1 mm).

A song described by Jon Spencer as akin to listening to Hawkwind in a wind tunnel. Hes not wrong.

'No bird is of so much use to the islanders as this: the Fulmar supplies them with oil for their lamps, down for their beds, a delicacy for their tables, a balm for their wounds, and a medicine for their distempers.'

Doncaster Council operates a similar policy; thus David Plowie. But it’s a different David for me…

As I'm nice and there's some new stuff on the horizon, I've reduced the full discography on Bandcamp down 80% to just £20 for the next few days. So get 20 years(!) worth of stuff for £20. Bargain! worriedaboutsatan.bandcamp.com
i was discussing the with Mr P. Only the other day - there’s a HMHB song for pretty much every day I suspect - though this is an excellent one!
General-purpose can openers first appeared in the 1850s and had a primitive claw-shaped or "lever-type" design. In 1855, Robert Yeates, devised the first claw-ended can opener with a hand-operated tool that haggled its way around the top of metal cans.
