Just two weeks until I discuss my Manic Street Preachers book with the brilliant @willhodgkinson.bsky.social at London’s Institute of Contemporary Music Performance. www.tickettailor.com/events/insti...

#nowplaying the final McCarthy album. Yes, I had forgotten how good it is.

Finished 168 Songs of Hatred and Failure by @keithcameron2.bsky.social. Real, heartfelt thanks to him for giving the Manics back to me. I have picked up the conversation where I left off (Journal for Plague Lovers FWIW). If you are a lapsed fan, you need this book. 🙏

Had fun chatting to Dan Jennings @wellerfanpod.bsky.social. Featuring the time I saw the Modfather wearing a British Gas sweatshirt. paulwellerfanpodcast.com/keith-cameron/

What's happening to you, Milton? It's a big old Guardian feature, that's what. With a film about Ted, made by his own family, coming soon, I chatted with him about his poetry, puppetry and wayward life and times, with Roger Law of Spitting Image spitting facts www.theguardian.com/music/2026/f...
