[The Leaf Label; 2025]With the exception of that town in Footloose, every society has dancing as a key aspect of cultural identity. It’s a human need to pull shapes and cut some rug; a universal of our corporeal condition that serves a central role in personal and group expression. Whether you dance like Fred Astaire or Elaine Benes, communion through rhythmic movement is about as spiritual as some people get.

[Invada; 2025]Kingsley Hall (voice) and Robbie Major (synths and noise) are Benefits, and they exist within a lineage of quintessential English spoken-word post-punk poetry that may not translate all that well to those living outside this septic isle.

The ominous sound of thunder rolls around the lush art deco space of Troxy in London’s east end for a good half an hour before The Cure take to the stage. A little over 3,000 people are here to celebrate the release of the long-gestated and majestic Songs of a Lost World, the band’s first studio album in 16 years. The ‘Show of a Lost World’ sold out in about three seconds (that’s not an exaggeration) and is also being live streamed around the world. It feels special to be here.

[Columbia/Fiction; 2024]The real beauty of life is its impermanence. It takes a while to work this out, but it’s true. Nothing is forever, and things can’t (and shouldn’t) stay the same, no matter how hard we try to rally against uncertainty and change. Some elements radiate with longevity while others slip by like tears in the rain if we’re fortunate enough to be able to learn to let them go.

Off to catch the train to see @thecure tonight for maybe the 20th time - at 51, this is the **MOST** excited for a gig I've ever been. There will be tears.
