The most common, B. neritina, was known from a few sites in southern Britain and northern France during the 20th century, following its discovery at Plymouth by 1911. During the 1950-60s it was abundant in a dock heated by power station effluent at Swansea, south Wales, where it flourished until the late 1960s, while water temperatures were 7-10°C above ambient. It disappeared after power generation ceased, when summer temperatures probably became insufficient to support breeding. Details of disappearances have not been recorded but B. neritina was not seen in Britain between c1970 and 1999.

  • Bob Mould - DVD Published by Thepsychicpilot June 19Th, 2007 in Random
    Every Issue Presents Itself Page 1 of 9 Bob Mould - DVD Published by thepsychicpilot June 19th, 2007 in Random. 0 Comments I just came across this nice little clip of the forthcoming Bob Mould live DVD, Circle of Friends. It’s being released by Trixie DVD, who have also released the Burn to Shine series. Two years in the making, it features a show performed at the 9:30 Club in October 2005, during which Bob played songs spanning his entire career for the fist time in a solo setting with a full band. He was backed by Brendan Canty (Fugazi), Jason Narducy (Verbow, Robert Pollard) and Rich Morel (Bob’s partner in Blowoff). You can get some more details about the show and view the clip here. The clip features most of Sugar’s “A Good Idea” and the audio sounds incredible. Yet another October release I can’t wait for.
