Reporter, my new moniker.

The idea that we have to choose between economic prosperity and safeguarding our children’s future is absolute nonsense - Reeves is chasing headlines with her Heathrow announcement but it will trash her Govt’s own emissions targets and won’t do anything to make people’s lives better

Ventured into Manchester for an interview with a founding member of the pill, a few half pints, and a dour selfie

The Last Scuppered

It's a good 'un! pigspigspigspigspigspigspigs.bandcamp.com/album/death-...

+++NEW MUSIC+++ @pigsx7.bsky.social have announced new album 'Death Hilarious' Watch the video to new single 'Stitches' here: youtu.be/TJ1M2i-7gF4?...

The new @rocketrecordings.bsky.social art of book reminded me to listen to this euphoric space/noise rock Collab between White Hills and The Heads! Glorious synergy between music and cover.

"Don't interrupt me". Reform doesn't care about victims; they are weaponising the issue of grooming gangs. Curtis Daly explains why Reform is not your friend!

All I did was search for a Fall song, but oh well, humanity was moderately nice while it lasted

England’s rare chalk streams are in crisis, with only a quarter in good ecological health. Enter the beavers! 🦫 New research shows they can clean rivers, slow flooding, and boost biodiversity. Time to embrace nature’s engineers | Stephen McNair

“Trump’s election was a response to the cruel failures of neoliberalism, but it will also be their ultimate expression. It was a response to the corruption of the political system by private money. And it will be the system’s ultimate corruption” @georgemonbiot.bsky.social 👏👏👏

Lammy praises Trump’s “incredible grace & generosity” on #BBCR4today. His earlier verdict was more accurate (“dishonest, xenophobic”). A man who made “criminal efforts” to overturn 2020 election result, who will trash climate & nature & threaten minorities. Solidarity with all who feel fear today

An informative (yet also ambiguous) masterpiece from señor Moores on the new Mogwai! Good read and listen, no doubt! @spinal-bap.bsky.social @mogwai.scot @plasmatron.bsky.social Mogwai – The Bad Fire thequietus.com/quietus-revi...

This is the only flag I’m flying today. For Janey. #Trumpisacunt Let’s make it trend.

Wow, a shocking twist!!!

I've written to Rachel Reeves about the financial struggles facing councils across the country & the impossible choices they're having to make. Public services have been cut to the bone & we're all feeling the impact. We need to see a wealth tax, not further cuts.

Started social media work for my local Green Party www.instagram.com/calderdale_g...

Finished off the panettone, listened to the new House of All album, and heading to my first gig of 2025!

My view as I enjoy the forthcoming House of All album - looking forward to interviewing the band later in the year for @louderthanwar.bsky.social

Currently blasting this @marcrileydj.bsky.social / Gideon Coe 6 music episode with @eeih.bsky.social - one of my favourite albums/gigs of 2024! Get on it if you haven't yet! Just sublime live www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

As deadly wildfires rage in LA, news comes that the world has breached the 1.5 degree limit on warming - the limit that would have prevented the most deadly effects of the climate crisis UK needs to show leadership by ending ALL new fossil fuel drilling www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Better would be not doing it at all - fuck this abomination!

Got a very expensive haircut today via venturing through the treacherous snow - now I can interview bands while looking and feeling good!

I mean, that's outstanding.

This is Howard. He couldn't decide where to sit. Wound up in two places at once and may require some assistance. 13/10

My loathing grows deeper (of Stewart, not the magnificent Messr Sword, one of my favourite music writers)

He looks like a man called Gustav with shellshock from WW1 who has been mute since Verdun but whose family get him into the town square in 1921 to eat melons and watch boule, his only happiness.

Almost 2 years once meeting, having my fashion sense complimented by, Johnny Marr, and a warm message of hope about my pursuit of music journalism!

Serendipitous shadow selfie, evoking one of my favourite songs of 2024, from Thurston Moore
