Absolutely thrilled to have a poem in the latest issue of Poetry London!

My jaw is still on the floor..! When Adrian Sherwood @onusound.bsky.social unexpectedly shouts out our new versus LP IMPLOSION with @ghostdubs.bsky.social , as his DUB 'album of the year', it is beyond flattering !!!! 🔊♥️ Thx to @mojomagazine.bsky.social for publishing....!

Ecstatic to announce my first ever EU show as a solo artist will be in Berlin supporting fellow @nightschoolrecords.bsky.social artist hero Molly Nilsson at legendary SO36 club in Kruezberg on December 11th! Show is Sold Out so no ticket link! 🐎🦋

Listened to Dandy Hooligan, a new song by Babyshambles. Dear Lord. The hooligan and the dandy are fascinating historical concepts, always evolving through the Englands they've existed – rich creative source material but *how* does he keep getting away with this clichéd lorrrrluvvaduck drivel?

"He's rude in temper rude in style Him a wicked and a wild, He loves an old hat shop And a good punch up Oh well he never punch down This sartorial brawler He never punch down" Argh! Argh! Argh! My eyes! My blessed ears and eyes!

New Bond has long Covid and posts cat pictures on Bluesky; calls Q a ‘cockwomble’ and listens to rest is politics. In a dispute with MI6 HR due to working from home.

On Armistice Day, a piece my Dad wrote about a horrific moment in a WWII battle in Tobruk. Just two lines about those poor dead boys will haunt me forever. worldwar2diary.blogspot.com/2008/03/last...

Farmers shouldn’t be allowed to drive tractors on dual carriageways at rush hour. It’s ridiculous. We turn the clocks back for you; manipulate *time itself*. Get up earlier and use the ‘extra light’ bestowed unto you instead of making traffic jams.

Horseradish is a very underrated condiment.

One of the things I appreciate most about living in Norfolk is the fact that it induces a near-constant state of bewilderment. 1/3

#nowplaying Mark Ernestus RA 1000 mix. Two hours of South African amapiano. A revelation. really atmospheric, sleazy as hell, massive subs. very Miami Vice/Michael Mann soundtrack- these weird off key kinda 80’s melodies and a ghostly absence where the kick ‘should’ be. *Love* it ra.co/podcast/1011

My piece in the current Private Eye on Carlsberg Britvic's killing of breweries; Jennings saved. #BskyBeer

Stop obsessing about an American municipal mayor. New Yorkers don’t go insane about Andy Burnham or David Skaith.

"If À Rebours is about anything, it is about the transformations taking place in art and literature during the period in which it was written" @huwnesbitt.bsky.social on a new critical life of JK Huysmans in this week's @thetls.bsky.social www.the-tls.co.uk/lives/biogra...

Really chuffed that I got asked to contribute to this. Some great books here, some startling omissions (I feel like I have to personally apologise to Ramsey Campbell, but that's how these sorts of things go) and a huge backlog of stuff I need to get familiar with. Truly, the horror never ends.

James Martin should do Kitchen Nightmares in America instead of Gordon Ramsey. Chef Martin. ‘You’ve not heard of Cumberland sausages?! What are they teaching you?!’ ‘Go on. Fill it up. Don’t be shy! I love Malbec’ etc

Outstanding.

Took the kids for a roast at the pub today and my eldest spent literally five minutes debating with the waitress as to ‘what was the biggest, in terms of how much meat you get’ 😂

Interested to find out Bluesky curry orders. What is your regular? Chicken Tikka Vindaloo, saag aloo, keema naan, pilau rice for me generally.

Rachel Reeves is ‘cutting a burger very neatly in half with a knife and fork’ made flesh.

"Freddie Potts" is such a West Ham player name, which you'd expect given he's Steve Potts' son.

Real woozy chugging East Coast house mix from me about 12 years back. Jus Ed, Levon Vincent, Anthony Parasole, Joey Anderson etc etc. loved that sound: on.soundcloud.com/isURyIqbKMaj...

Horrible news from Huntingdon. My neck of the woods. Awful.

Now watching www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

Watching actors 'being themselves' on light entertainment can be quite something, and Bryan Cranston is delivering a masterclass of the form on Saturday Kitchen this week. A luvvie of stratosphericproportions.

Our Halloween Special for 2025, as voted for by our patrons, is Shaun Hutson's Slugs! So much mucoid terror. So many clefts. But no mucoid clefts. Which seems like a basic omission on Shaun's part tbh. Join us!
