This is Gerard Sheehy from Baltimore in west Cork, who drove Andrew Weatherall to a festival in Skibbereen back in the summer of 2008 & told him some tales of the sea.#failwemaysailwemusthttps://t.co/klo1p0QiR3 pic.twitter.com/zjJU81uEv7

RIP. This is a nice story about the origins of Weatherall's "fail we may, sail we must" tattoo. Cian is an Irish dj.

Absolutely awesome story.

Yes, thank you for that.

starts with mixtapes he gave some folks and moves forward in time from there!

Ewan Pearson posted a terrific tweet thread yesterday about Weatherall.

1/ Thursday 8th June 2017. The day of the general election. I am working on Tracey Thorn’s new LP and though we are mostly making it in my home studio in Walthamstow, today Tracey and I are going to Seven Sisters, to the space I supposedly share with Andrew Weatherall.

Great new introductory guide to his life and work by Joe Muggs over at Shfl -- wonderful stuff:

In Dec 1994 I saw Primal Scream at Shepherd's Bush Empire... who were supported by a live incarnation of Sabres of Paradise (as well as a DJ set from the Chemical Brothers while they were still called the Dust Brothers, and an unannounced acoustic set from Noel Gallagher, and an encore appearance from Paul Weller, it was like the 1994est indie gig ever).

Anyway because the internet is amazing I have found a recording of essentially the same set from Manchester the same month - here

And for some reason - maybe something I read at the time? - I have always vaguely wondered if Weatherall was actually involved in this live show somehow or if it was more driven by Kooner & Burns. Despite knowing him by reputation I wouldn't have known what AW looked like at the time.

Anyway probably I will never know, but thought I would hang this memory out on the internet and maybe someone will one day reply.

the Curses comps, Next Wave Acid Punks Deux (now up to part 3) feel like a kind of continuation of the 9 o’Clock Drop comp. in any case something I imagine he would have very much liked.

yes big fan of the next wave acid punx comps

Huh there's an artist on NWAP 1 with the same handle as an ilx poster?

ha, i've noticed that before, that guy puts out a lot of stuff that's up my alley. def not the same person tho... or is it

xp it's the name of the protagonist in some of charles bukowski's novels

which my bukowski themed local pub chose as its name too.

that’s funny, I liked the Chinaski album from a few years back and did wonder if it was the ilx poster lol

ha I used to know a guy about 20 years ago who had a band called Chinaski. pretty sure he doesn't post on ilx either (or DJ in Germany)

these Next Wave Acid Punks comps look right up my street though, going to check these out

Not me. Confession: I have a vague unease about being associated with Bukowski. Not that I've been arsed to do anything about it.

Fabric have posted sets from their recent Weatherall tribute night:
