One year on and she still hasn’t “changed the locks” (yet). @sonantics.bsky.social

PSA: this amazing book (looking at events in winter 1962/1963 and how they shaped modern Britain) is currently only 99p (ninety-nine pence) on Kindle.

Oh, Viz.

SUEDEMAZING. I’m probably approaching *40* gigs since 1993 and this one was absolutely “up there”.

Very readable.

Loads of lads walking through central London like it’s Racist Butlin’s.

Very readable. (Had to “cover her modesty” or risk a ban.)

Extremely readable. (Don’t be put off by the effusive cover quote from the abhorrent India Knight.)

“FAO” @secondmentions.bsky.social “the voracious rust-coloured predators”

The Sophs and Tyler Ballgame: double-bill of the year.

I love the Hinds lads. This is a very good cover (and highlight of their live show).

“How to spot a homo” 😐

Jesus Fucking Christ. This makes me want to carpet bomb all music out of existence. www.nme.com/news/music/v...

Went to see Suede AND Def Leppard yesterday. All the major food groups covered.

Who was running this “email address”? Was it Jimmy Hill? www.theguardian.com/music/2025/s...

Very readable. (Out at the end of October.)

I see Saint Etienne won't be making their album again. (Don't write in, I'm just "having a LOLLE".)

I pray to God this was his attempt to bring Spinal Tap’s proposed musical (Saucy Jack) to life. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Such a shock. I never knew she held compatible views with Reform. 😐

SELF-PROMOTION POST: trying to make sense of Morrissey’s claim he’s selling half of his “share” of The Smiths (including malfunctioning Gmail address). www.theguardian.com/music/2025/s...

Happy birthday to “The Lads”.

😐

The Sophs being exceptional at their pop concert. (Best new band I’ve seen in years.)

The Hives being exceptional at their pop concert.

Noel looks like he ate some wild blackberries a fox pissed on.

Quite readable.

Pretty readable.

Pretty readable.

SELF-PROMOTION POST: I had a chat with my great showbiz pal James Hype. For @bigissue.com

SUEDEMAZING. (From last night, obviously.)

Highly watchable.

😐

Lads. (In Paternoster Square.)

Pretty readable. (Very good on the rocket ride of instant fame and the cold unfurling of anonymity. Tam Paton, Derek Longmuir and “all that stuff” is pretty much completely swerved bar a few elliptical references.)

Pretty readable.

More evidence to support my argument that everyone who a) owns or b) uses these bikes should be in prison.

In Belfast, a cone of ice cream is called a “poke” (really). Loads of Italian-run ice cream parlours there over the years. This has to be the etymology of the term.

Highly watchable.

I’ve written about TV’s best and worst monarchs

Highly readable.

Pretty readable. (Only alluded to in the conclusion, but it really could have benefitted from a chapter on gay fans (male and female) and a chapter on BTS (i.e. a non-Western act + “the internet” as a fan space). Oh well.)

Yes, poor old bullied Gerry Adams. Will no one think of the feelings of this visionary with his untainted integrity? What’s Gerry Adams ever done to anyone?

Very lookatable X 2.

Highly readable. (“h/t” @cathybrown746.bsky.social)
