Blog2026 ≫ Suede still mixing it up on tour

They played the third night of the tour in Bristol, and while starting similarly I see from setlist.fm they swapped The Drowners out for Killing Of A Flashboy, and then also played Pantomime Horse which would be a treat. Portsmouth looks like the best night still to me

I read a review of Folkestone saying that the unamplifed unaccomanied song they did was a jaw dropping version of The Beautiful Ones. No it wasn't. I'm not linking to the review because I suspect it might be a technique to get the fans linking and sharing and going "HAHAH LOOK how the FAKE FANS made an MISSTEAK!!!".

Took the car for a service, they say go home, don't wait for it, so I walked back. I thoought if it was only a couple of hours I could go to a cafe or something, but it's wet and miserable and everything looks to be still shut, so I walked home instead. Will have my coffee at home, it will be better, and I can keep wallowing in my premium bonds disappointment. At least the shares are still racing up at the moment.

Not one but TWO gigs exactly a quarter of a century ago, I went to see Ash at lunchtime, a gig recorded for a Japanese TV show, and then And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead in the eveining. This looks a busy time of year for gigs I have several going on this week in past years. Even just today I also have Goldie Lookin' Chain in 2004, Love / Arthur Lee in 2003 and the shimmy shammy Sultans Of Ping this day in 1994. Someone was wearing a Sultans Of Ping t-shirt at the Suede gig on Friday, I should have gone and said hello.

Light rain and a moderate breeze, 6 - 8℃.

Estimated 3008 cups of coffee ☕️ from my espresso machine 1 probably comes to 87.8p a cup (including 4+ years of coffee ☕️ and servicing 1 but not the 'leccy).
