Thoughts are with Hebden friends. That flooding looks ridiculous.

Similar scenes throughout Calder Valley and scarily the flood line could yet rise some more. I don't know how people who live/own small businesses on the flood plains of Hebden/Sowerby/Mytholmroyd can keep coming back from this shit, it seems to get worse every year and this time it seems even worse than '07.

Into town for the Thurston Moore show (such a good venue) and there are an unexpected number of stellar beers on tap in the boozers round here.

Cosign the walk up to Hardcastle Crags. The craft beer places in Hebden Bridge are pretty much exactly the same as craft beer places everywhere, the real gem is the Fox & Goose. My one trip to Hebden culminated in a night sitting on the roof of that pub with a guy who lived in a yurt. Still not quite worked out if he was putting that one on for the tourists.

OTM, can't recommend Hardcastle Crags enough.

even on days when the weather is terrible it almost becomes more beautiful.

Tried to walk Hardcastle Crags this morning but was warned off by a local. 'They're fucking lethal today' he said, noting my woefully inadequate footwear
This place is magic tho

Seeing people say he plays with his back to the audience??

Yeah for most of the performance, but the other musicians on stage are following his directions (mainly head nods) so it seemed necessary.
The matinee performance was one large piece “Alice Moki Jayne” that was rather excellent in parts.

Is Hebden Bridge TERF central?

It probably has a higher than average amount of politically active middle-class + feminists, so quite possibly yes!

there is a strong Old Left presence there, and they are usually quite conservative behind the radical sheen they put on.
