  1. Saints have signed Nathan Peterman for some reason. Also signed receivers Stanley Morgan and Cedric Wilson Jr. To say I'm underwhelmed by the Saints Free Agency would be fair. The cap mess finally taking it's toll by the looks of it. Not good when Atlanta have strengthened considerably and Tampa still look solid.
  2. Williams seems to be a bit of a loose cannon and seems to have his absolutely mental dad in his ear as well, which never goes well. A talent for sure, but can see him becoming another Manziel.
  3. Saw Buffy ReVamped at the Theatre Royal tonight. A one man show portraying Spike taking a humorous look at all seven seasons of Buffy in 70 minutes. Really really funny. Well worth going to see.
  4. Got a wee takeaway for the hotel. Wagon Wheel inspired sour from Vault City. Delightful.
  5. Justin Fields off to Pittsburgh foe a 2025 6th round pick that could become a 4th depending on playing time.
  6. In Brewdog Leeds because it is 2 minutes away from the hotel and on the way back from The Key Club. Got Brewdog's Simcoe Solo, which is a pretty nice IPA
  7. An absolute all timer. The Movielife doing Forty Hour Train Back to Penn in full followed by a bunch of older classics. I had that album on repeat for most of 2003 and it holds up as one of my all time favourites. An absolute treat to see it played live in its entirety. Vinnie is one of punk's greatest frontmen. Crime in Stereo in support who were absolutely brilliant. They promised to come to Glasgow next time, and I hope they come good on that. Opened by Family Dinner who were very good, but unfortunately the vocals were far too low in the mix. Fantastic night. Well worth the four hour drive.
  8. And a delightful Pineapple and Coconut Lassi Sour from North and Bundoblast. Very impressed with this pub.
  9. Embargo. A collaboration between local boys Kirkstall and California's Sierra Nevada. Big fan, lovely West Coast style pale ale.
  10. North Taproom in Leeds. Very busy but a nice shop. Transmission IPA, lovely.
  11. Just about to head to Leeds to see The Movielife do Forty Hour Train Back to Penn in full for it's 21st Anniversary. Cannot wait, not seen them live since 2003. Then got The Gaslight Anthem in Glasgow on Monday. Great looking few days
  12. Just listened to Kim Gordon's new solo album The Collective. Like nothing I've ever heard before. Brilliant to hear her still on the cutting edge at 70.
  13. The House Of Doors by Tan Twan Eng Really good story, well written and engaging. Historical fiction with some real life events woven through. Really well constructed.
  14. Any pub recommendations for Leeds City centre for after The Movielife gig on Saturday?
  15. Siouxsie and the Banshees - Spellbound
  16. Sonic Life by Thurston Moore One of the best rock memoirs I've ever read. Fascinating, funny and an essential look at Sonic Youth and everything that went on around them in the 80s and 90s. Planning on reading Kim Gordon's memoir in the not too distant future, will be very interested to see how they compare.
  17. Usually watch quite a bit of the festival on TV, but I don't think I'll have much of it on this year.
  18. A medication I'm on has been out of stock and I ran out a few days ago. Not a medication you're supposed to stop cold turkey, so I'm experiencing some pretty brutal withdrawal. Thankfully just had a message saying it's back in stock and I can pick it up this afternoon.
