Chelsea vs Everton, today - two clubs whose fans were entertained by the skills of Pat Nevin. The Scottish forward called in for a chat with us in St Luke’s a couple of years ago. Watch it, here: youtu.be/vYZqg9kiuTU?...

#Hammer does #AgathaChristie (a.i.)

Rewatched Peril at End House again earlier. ITV's #Poirot Would definitely be my #ComfortBlanket choice @gralefrit.bsky.social !

open.spotify.com/album/57oBee... It's new @gbvlyrics.bsky.social album day!

In all the fuss about a new #TaylorSwift album id just like to point out that @gbvlyrics.bsky.social #gbv #GuidedByVoices have a new single our. Just saying like... open.spotify.com/album/6xR0mZ...

Current reading..been on a real #Dylan kick at the moment and just finished Vol.1 of Chronicles. Richard Thomas' Why Dylan Matters follows it up nicely..often one book leads to another and I'm more and more fascinated by Dylan's appropriation of Greek myth so I'm cracking on with The Odyssey

RIP Claudia Cardinale

@theguardian.com What? Why is The Prisoner omitted from this list? #iamnotanumber www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

#guidedbyvoices #thickrichanddelicious #newalbum are we going to get any uk @gbvlyrics.bsky.social gigs this time? Come on Uncle Bob!

God it's really really poor!

New #GBV #GuidedByVoices and it's a fucking banger @gbvlyrics.bsky.social open.spotify.com/track/5dApaQ...

Still time to get abstracts in #JGBALLARD @kingstonuniversity.bsky.social arttvfilm.wordpress.com/2025/04/14/t...

Listening to the audiobook of #AdamBuxton 's new book. It's fantastic. Chapter 14 'The coming storm is quite emotional.' love also he goes over #MarkESmith on Vinyl Justice. 'You look like an egg'. youtu.be/oMyHNmiLpWs?...

Going out on a bit of a limb here but I would say Psychomania is one of the blueprints for The Lost Boys

Looking forward to this. #OsgoodPerkins is one of the few directors making actually interesting horror films these days

You don’t want to be cruel, I suppose, but Tebbit’s one of those people where you look at the age, 94, and get annoyed about all the good mates, people who made the world a better kinder funnier place, that you lost in their thirties and forties.

RIP Norman Tebbitt.

One of the greatest ever albums

Calling any sitcom/ footy fans. Been rewatching Rising Damp. Could the blue and white bobble hat on the skeleton in Alan and Philips room be an #Everton @evertonfc.com one - Leonard Rossiter was famously a fan...?

It's a balmy evening, I've got a copy of this fantastic book, The Replacements on my headphones and I'm watching my kid play football. In this moment life is nice

The parade/birthday is a pretence. Trump is rolling in the tanks to establish a military enforced dictatorship.

@marghjenkin.bsky.social thanks to you and Adrian for the great Q and A at the Cornish Bank. I noted down the music you both cited and have found The Garden on YouTube. Been listening to the Enys Men soundtrack on the way home. It's remarkable!

@gralefrit.bsky.social I'm really really enjoying the audiobook version of your book on the mechanics of laughter and comedy. it's really fascinating! I wanted to ask (and I may not have got to it in the book yet) is where do you stand on The Aristocrats? Personally I think it's comedy jazz!

Things I love: Coach Travel, The Fall, Everton Football Club. So it's lucky I'm heading north on the Flixbus coach to see our last game at Goodison Park and listening to The Frenz Experiment
