Me off to the rapture.

The TV ad for the Google Pixel 10 says 'If your friend asks you a question, and the answer is on your phone, shouldn't your phone be able to answer them?' NO. ABSOLUTELY NOT.

Come and see us LIVE.

It's always a joy to play with Tom. I hope you're ready Bristol!

I forgot to post this purchase from my afternoon in Canterbury. Supporting local artists etc. I love the first novel in the series, so looking forward to digging into this from @scriblit.bsky.social

Quite apart from *all of the other issues* with this, the "you couldn't make X anymore because of political correctness" schtick is so fucking tired now. Don't the people that lap this up get tired of the repetition? Also, get your own material. Cleese has been running that gag for decades now.

Not a Verhoeven movie

It's sobering, in its way, to realize that there was truly nobody (save, perhaps, his children) who knew him that loved him as a man. He made himself into content, and he died as content, and his funeral is the most content of all. Soundbites to soundbites, bits to bits

I was thinking yesterday about America and how it can change, and it occurred to me that with its mega churches and billionaire ministers, what it actually needs is a Martin Luther.

If arsewits think the Rapture is happening (again) on Tuesday, could it just take the arsewits, please? The rest of us have stuff to be getting on with. Principally sorting out the mess made by arsewits.

sorry to do a “well this happened” post but … this did actually happen!! And I am a bit in shock about how well it went down and want to thank everyone in the audience at the London, Bristol and Woodbridge shows this week for being utterly glorious. Feel like I’ve just played Wembley!!

Two amazing musicians on tour. Catch them if you can!

Rehearsing for the Trout Mask Replica sessions with The Magic Band.

Very enjoyable evening of electronic wizardry in the company of @warringtonruncorn.com and @jojohnson.bsky.social at Dust in Brighton

Aaah, home, showered and freshly garbed.

My fifth day on the road and trying to find my least repugnant t-shirt, only to realise that no such garment exists.

I recently upgraded my phone, and I’m really appreciating how much better the camera is - especially at low light levels. So, here’s a couple of pics from my trip to Brighton last night to see @warringtonruncorn.com, the blusterous sea and pier, and the quiet night sky when I got home.

I’ve barely been on social media since Wednesday and I’ve no idea what this refers to, and I’m not sure if that’s a good or bad thing.

Have I happened to mention that my associates and I that comprise the Wildlife Discotheque are supporting the wonderful @sulkrooms.bsky.social and more at Images, Plymouth on Nov 9th and we're all very excited:)

Brighton! Our #GigOfTheDay is Warrington-Runcorn New Town Development Plan @warringtonruncorn.com at Dust - final few tickets on sale now >> www.allgigs.co.uk/view/artist/...

Last night at Ramsgate Music Hall – such a great venue. Thanks to @warringtonruncorn.com for the invitation and everyone who made it. Thanks to @danmud.bsky.social for the photos. Brighton tonight.

Staggeringly brilliant and exhilarating set by @warringtonruncorn.com last night at Ramsgate Music Hall. Top notch sound, with a set including some absolute faves, and visuals that leave you mourning for what we've lost. Wonderful and emotional. (Anyone wanna swap an XL t-shirt for an L? 😬)

I just noticed my Premier Inn individually wrapped PG Tips tea bag is “plant-based”. Tea’s gone woke, lads.

A big thanks to @johnrain.co.uk and @goingmedieval.bsky.social for their podcasts that have been accompanying me on my tour of the south coast. An odd mix, maybe, but variety is the spice of life and all that.

Go and see @warringtonruncorn.com You can thank me later😁 warringtonruncorn.com/live/

The venue here tries to make a themed slushy cocktail for each artist. They’ve made a Warrington-RUMcorn pina colada for tonight. You’ll need it too, it’s hot!

Ah, Kent. County of oast houses, hop fields, murdered archbishops and plummy voiced eccentrics who go on Gardener’s World with their collection of 167 varieties of rhododendron.

I can thoroughly recommend this. It’s not bloopy at all, but extremely laid back indie/alternative. I love the way it sounds like every instrument is trying to hide behind the other instruments. music.apple.com/gb/album/the...

Le Guin is cool, but imagine working in publishing and being at all surprised by this. In 2014.

Beware Cantabrians, for I walk amongst ye.

Awesome opening to tonight's The Late Show with Stephen Colbert... youtu.be/HMGD1KCYFOw

The Orange One suggests Labour needs to do more about immigration. I would suggest Mr Trump needs to work on not being a fascist child rapist.

One thing I’ve realised playing my new live set through colossal PAs and subs is that there’s a new song in my set which *really* tests how low it can go.

Great night with fellow head-nodding, pint-nursing, 6music dads listening to the excellent @warringtonruncorn.com at @wedgewoodrooms.bsky.social last night 😀👍🏼😎

#MusicChallenge #20SongsByYear - 2024 Unranked Day 19. Warrington-Runcorn New Town Development Plan. Gordon Chapman-Fox’s project sees a bold visual aesthetic & striking retro-futuristic audio identity seamlessly melded together into one evocative musical package. @warringtonruncorn.com

A fine set at Wedgewood rooms Southsea from fellow Castles in Space top chap Mr Gordon Chapman-Fox. Lovely chatting with u tonight Gordon. @warringtonruncorn.com @castlesinspace.bsky.social

This is the thing I don’t get… the sheer craven cowardice of the UK and US establishments to a man you can so easily bully.

My wife bought me a ticket for Brighton but then realised we are committed to something else. My thinking is that you will tour again, but our friends will only have one 50th wedding anniversary so I have a ticket I will not use if anybody wants it.

Spending 25% of your life on vague, barely scientific attempts to prolong your life is a colossal waste of your life.

Had the privilege of attending the rather wonderful @warringtonruncorn.com gig at @justdroppedin.bsky.social in Coventry last Friday evening. Totally mesmerising. Thanks to @joesors.bsky.social for putting this on. Yes, my photos are crap, but I was more focused on the music.

I think this is the best of my photos of Warrington-Runcorn New Town Development Plan from The Trades Club, on Saturday night.

ANYWAY, enough about pedos and racists… I’m in the entertainment business!

When I first heard the QAnon conspiracy, it seemed so ridiculous. Now the only ridiculous thing about it is why it would be based in the basement of a pizza place, rather than the far more likely locations of private island, private villa estate, and ancestral castles.
