the last post), the last last post and beyond (hardcore will never die)

‘and now... the end is near... and so we reach... the final curtain...’ 

it is november 1 st the end of the facebook ‘notes’ tool (and horsemouth’s misuse of it to provide you with a running commentary on his life). this (the 31st of october) was therefore be ‘the last post’. except it wasn't. horsemouth got in a sneaky last last post late at night and then a last last last post early in the morning of the 1st 

horsemouth can (probably) recover his historic notes with a data download (he does hope so). they will do with his downloaded myspace posts from the death of myspace. 

before the days of web 2.0 (ahem) horsemouth often kept a physical diary as a kind of appointments book (he didn’t often write anything extended in it). the earliest one he can find is a houseman’s peace diary from 1992. he’s working/ volunteering at the anti-nuclear group. his band (bush house) are playing (support slots for the rhythmites, senser, 25th of may, dub the earth, easter and the totem, back to the planet, fat dinosaur, aroma of rage, peakadelic, disco assassins. they are doing about 18 gigs a year. they are recording. he’s trying to get his mate dave social in. but broadly he’s feeling frustrated and wants to leave. the band are about to go all ravey-davey-gravey and horsemouth is pushing for that (and it’s a mistake). 

it looks like he’s still doing squatter/ anarcho-political things (er. yes. he’s having meetings with lawyers so presumably he’s under the cosh for some malfeasance or other). he goes to some huge illegal rave (castlemorton) after playing a gig supporting test department (who had a ravey davey gravey type set - those were the ravey davey gravey times). horsemouth (on the other hand) goes to see youssou n’dour, olodum and the drummers of burundi. 

ah the sirens of memory. how sweetly you sing. 

it’s samhain (when the ghosts come close). horsemouth will have to be careful. 

last night howard visited. horsemouth showed him the movie (the fall of the house of fitzgerald). howard said he liked it (overall). various bits met with his approval. they drank beer (2 bottles/ 3 bottles respectively) and ate half a cheap pizza each. they then listened to the 24th oct 2016 golden glow (tracks selected by horsemouth). howard, who is always ending things, has a plan to record the last golden glow. horsemouth might make a final guest appearance to round out the numbers (he should run up a track list).
