  I thought you had got the band back together.  Was waiting for the EP to drop.  Peak-era The Jam/Avant NWOBHM/NW/Angst tone and such.  Age-inappropriate haircuts (for those not folically challenged).  Attempted pogos and matress-assisted stage-diving.  But on the other hand, Jazz done right opens the deepest portals for me, so cannot hatt on the new direction.  It's all about the chords for me.  Instant teleport to somewhere in the mists of time, be the moment terrible or ecstatic.  Childcare is the issue for us at the mo, but social life showing the odd green shoots of recovery, as they say.
  
  Last gig was last month at like, a hard Zep/Blues/Thrash mashup that my niece fronts.  In Manc.  Not my bread-and-butter lane but they do it very well and it was a really good crowd.  Real alt-mix.  Punks, goths, emos, ironic hair-metallists... and me and the Mrs.  Perhaps missing the casual violence of 80s moshes, but kids seem less inclined to get hammered like that, it would appear.
  
  Played the Royal Albert Hall last year so hoping she goes onwards and upwards. 
  
  Before that, again Manc, for London girl Natasha Watts mini-tour (see below).  Mate was on drums.  Richard Earnshaw no less on keys.  Before that, JD73 (Dan Goldman, who engineered your boy TOM O / Resolution 88's sets) and his spaced-out Rhodes-stylings.  Jose James.  Leon Ware.  Basically gigs where my mates are in the band and can blag I & I in.  Martin Atjazz in Nottingham was good.  The boy Roy Ayers is here on the 11th.  Although not sure if he can still solo with the same "Clown/Saint/Witchdoctor/Historian" steez of his peak.  I'll give it a punt doe.
  
  Tom O been on tour with Incognito of late, depping for the one Matt Cooper (AKA Outside from BITD) but it was all overseas and the only dates in the UK I could feasibly do were on Thursdays which are when the whole fam is up to something here.  London on a school night isn't logistically on.

  Maslow and Alderfer are very pertinent to the story around Trump, and Brexit too.
  Venice citizens kicking up today.
  It's Italy next, I tells ya.
  Unless Euro non-rights do some extremely urgent quick fixes.

  I think Europe is a busted flush.  (Patois)De party done(/Patois).  Murdoch and his killjoys done stuck a Tracy Chapmans (sic) on and the sobererest are realising it's time to get their coats and hog the the one taxi who's working nights. Britain had them on speed-dial.
  
  I think it should have gone on till the break of dawn, I was waiting for Club Tropicana to drop and shit, but he wasn't getting any action and he saw them hurban ruffians necking his tins of Spezzie (and they only brough half a bottle of Tesco vodka).  Klaus got his head down the khazi, talmbout Spiros spiked his Lowenbrau.
  
  IF YOU GET THE ANALOGY.
  
  At least L*o got a result with that Spanish Catalan bird...
