Genuine first thought here was “oh god, what’s Avril Lavigne done now?”

That Women's League Cup draw done by GK Barry and Ella Rutherford isn't looking quite so bad now is it

Sorry, you're gonna have to narrow it down a bit

Didn’t get chance to properly post yesterday, as a bit full on, but I have written a book. On the history of music in Sheffield. Out in May via the excellent @whiterabbitbks.bsky.social. Pre-order available now and full PR spiel here. Thanks for the love so far www.thebookseller.com/rights/white...

This is guaranteed to be amazing

Who do I need to speak to to get The Rat added to the @endoftheroadfestival.com karaoke song list this year?

They say you shouldn't wish bad things to happen to awful people but recently I've lost two friends and my dad and Nigel fucking Farage is still alive spouting division and hatred and I will never stop lamenting the fact that the cunt didn't die in that plane crash

What an amazing evening! Thanks so much to Big Other, Precious Metals and @fortitudevalley.bsky.social for playing, Sidney and Matilda for having us and the hordes of people who came out on a rainy Sunday night for live music!

⚠️Very, very low ticket warning⚠️ As in, there may only be seven left across various ticket sites.

Just one week until @fortitudevalley.bsky.social roll into Sheffield at Sidney & Matilda. With Precious Metals and Big Other ably backing up proceedings on the night, this is one not to be missed. Remaining tickets available here --> linktr.ee/mmissheffield

Not enough bands erect a tent mid-set and encourage everyone to get in it, while performing in front of an inflatable castle on stage

They said I'd never make it as a professional photographer. Well look at me now

There's an old couple playing Yahtzee on the train with really noisy dice and I'm looking back fondly on all those times there's been someone playing shit music without headphones

Not even exaggerating when I say I think you'll struggle to find a better lineup in Sheffield this year. Get some tickets here --> linktr.ee/mmissheffield

Billy Idol was wearing a Billy Idol t-shirt. He took it off, throw it into the crowd, left the stage and emerged in a full length shiny leather jacket and did White Wedding. If that's not the perfect warm up for Kraftwerk I don't know what is

Currently watching the. Happy Mondays. There is only one person here who doesn't know the words to Step On. Unfortunately that person is Shaun Ryder

I am in London, otherwise I'd be at this. But you should go, if you're in the vicinity

The answer is always the Kaiser Chiefs

This implies that there's a bad place in Sheffield to see some donkeys. To which I maintain that there isn't

Maybe this will also work if you read the below post

Sorry, this already existed. It's called Radio X

Seeing so many bands cancel dates because of poor advance ticket sales. It's not because they're shite, people WILL come, but won't buy a ticket until the last min. It's tough to get grouchy about, everybody is skint, but no wonder your wee bands can't survive. How can they budget on hope alone?

The music industry seminars say to live the brand, which we decided to do by putting up a gig poster in the pub You could come to the pub, or come to the @machomusicisstupid.co.uk gig with us + @nathysg.bsky.social + Junk Whale at Delicious Clam on 30 May! book at linktr.ee/mmissheffield Or both

Talking of this week's show, you can catch up with it in podcast form. Plenty of good stuff contained herein linktr.ee/breakdwn

We are positively tingling to confirm awesome futurepop synth duo @pinkopaque.co.uk as guests for our show with @nathysg.bsky.social and Junk Whale on 30 May! 🎹🤖 Delicious Clam is only ickle so grab a tickle, sorry, *ticket*: 🎟️ linktr.ee/mmissheffield #sheffieldgigs #sheffevents #date300525

🏳️‍⚧️ NEW 🏳️‍⚧️ We believe the Supreme Court – which disgracefully refused to hear from trans people before its decision last week – has placed the UK in breach of its obligations under the Human Rights Act. So we’re readying a challenge – join us: goodlaw.social/xpme

Lib Dems getting policy ideas from Adrian Chiles columns now is it?

Can the courts define what the definition of a decent human being is next? Because I’m positive JK Rowling would be excluded

A very dark day. TRANS WOMEN ARE WOMEN.

Yeah. Please come to this. Thanks

But we did come second, for the third bloody time in a row

We've reset our password, so we might as well use this thing. Lend your ears to this week's podcast and enjoy all that it contains linktr.ee/breakdwn

First time seeing Anna Erhard in Nottingham last night and she was fantastic. If you can make it to one of the remaining dates, I strongly recommend you do so

As someone who normally attends small, cheap gigs, with £1, £2 or even no booking fees, can I just say absolutely fuck this bullshit

I mean, the only thing that could have topped this welcome surprise today was the announcement of a UK tour with, I dunno, Martha and Fresh

Yes mum, I am still doing "that radio show" and yes mum, I know you never listen. Don't be like my mum, catch up with this week's edition of @thebreakdown.bsky.social here linktr.ee/breakdwn

Five weeks tomorrow to Leicesterval, and we can now confirm that @machomusicisstupid.co.uk @daytriprecords.com and HOO HA RECORD CLUB DJs will be joining us for our Sunday night indiepop disco upstairs at Firebug until midnight. Still day tickets for Sunday 2nd March... wegottickets.com/f/13579

Can makers of hoodies stop making the hood so ridiculously big? Claudia Winkleman in The Traitors is not the look I'm going for

Update your records accordingly, this was by far the best pop banger from 2024 open.spotify.com/track/4OzUKx...

Tomorrow night 9pm (UK) me and my brilliant pals @timahall.bsky.social @vomvorton.co.uk @stevejvickers.bsky.social @petegreensolo.com @tonieee.bsky.social, Julie and our guest @simont.bsky.social are doing a Xmas online disco at mixlrmixmas.mixlr.com Join us, if you can! It's so much fun 🎄🎄🎄
