I've got a feeling he'll be there, I know about the 6 month in Canada thing, but the dates, if taken from the time he travelled, and if all goes well, are very close to lining up. 

Obviously I hope he doesn't rush anything, and that the treatment goes well... But I've just got 'a feeling.' 

Probably has to be John Peel, but I expect it will be very very busy.

I hear about him all over social media, he went viral a few weeks ago with Hi Ren. All over tiktok and other playforms. 

There’s a million and one reaction videos on Youtube. 

He was also in the charts recently, as an independent. 

Around 2 weeks ago my (guitar playing / obsessed and rap hating) friend came to me and said he’d found this guy who raps and plays guitar, and that he actually liked him, went to play it, and it was Ren.

Apologies for having to repost this to start a conversation but due to the man up on his high horse who knows fuck all about REN he deleted my first post.. 

Little tip for newbies on here 

Careful who you write things.. If the man dont understand he gets the hump lol..

I hope he plays! I heard Hi Ren a couple Of weeks ago and loved it but really fell down the YouTube rabbit hole yesterday watching his stuff and I’m so impressed. Donated to his medical bills and keeping fingers crossed things will improve for him in time 🤞

I think this is such a bad barometer for scale. 'My friends don't talk about him...so?' 

His 'Hi Ren' Video has 4.2 Million views, in a month, as an independent. The bittersweet sympathy retake has 230k in a day. People are talking about him, people are listening. Just not in your circle and that's okay.

Mentioned him to my Nephew the other day, saying he should listen. Turns out that he went to Uni with him and did a few sessions in the studio together. Says what a lovely chap he is, but obviously troubled, which I will not go into here. Hope he gets the treatment he needs and that it helps him. Will certainly catch him when he does play

    • 13th Primavera (Thursday was definitely making me feel like this was the cursed year).  Blood Orange was such a party by the end of their set but we all knew that rain storm was approaching.  So gutted Massive Attack didn't play after the false hope of a new rescheduling, especially knowing that Elizabeth Fraser & Horace Andy were backstage with them!  Managed a bit of Melt Banana but was just so over the weather by that point.   Friday was awesome, Rilo Kiley were so much fun.  Never big the biggest Cure fan but made the effort for them & Robert Smith sounds like he did back in the 80s.  PinkPantheress & Viagra Boys were also great.   The highlight for me was Sudan Archives on the Saturday, she was stunning & with the Olivia Rodrigo surprise set too it made up for the Thursday sh*t show.  Dijon & Knocked Loose also superb.   Shoutout to Cardiacs on the Tuesday too, they were so LOUD, played a storming set.    
    • OK, never mind, I'll take normal Nine Inch Nails.
    • Probably my least favourite of the five editions I've been to, but still plenty good enough for me to go again. Weirdly, I was just totally running out of stamina a lot earlier into the night than I remember happening in the past. I feel like I missed a lot of the weirder sets on the smaller stages as I was just totally cooked. Not Primavera's fault, obviously. Maybe I'm just getting old - or maybe I need to pace my drinking better...   Anyway - is David Byrne a realistic get for next year? Certainly hoping so.
    • watching clips of the cure in Barcelona, wow 2 hours 25 minute set. That's gonna be tough on the Sunday but can't bloody wait for it
