Seventh time seeing @selfesteem.music-social.com and she and her band get better and better. The love and joy in the room was immeasurable.

Trump has enabled the behaviour we are witnessing by @rydercup-usa.bsky.social fans. The USA is slowly going to the dogs under his leadership.

I've already got one, but definitely need to be more out there!

Back from my 12th @greenmanfest.bsky.social and it once again exceeded expectations. Amazing music - MJ Lenderman @cmatbaby.bsky.social, Underworld and Big Special were some of the many highlights. Great food and beer - Tenby Brewing Co's 'Chasing the Sun' was so good! And the vibe is beautiful!

For anyone that way inclined, Dexys at the BBC is on TV tonight.

New playlist for August. Loads of great new stuff featured, amongst a handful of all time classics. open.spotify.com/playlist/2RI...

This brought out the very best of my family. The Rhino Whiskey single malt helped, mind.

Hey guys! Another brilliant novel from @nivenj1.bsky.social, the guy who nearly signed Muse!

Just finished this fabulous book by @dorianlynskey.bsky.social. I'd be lying if I said it didn't scare me half to death at times, but highly recommended for those interested in the variety of ways the world may end and how they have been captured by artists, authors, film makers etc.

We live in a world where the same people who believe a man built a boat big enough for every animal don't believe in climate science because it’s “unproven.”

New playlist of stuff that's been floating my boat over the past few weeks. open.spotify.com/playlist/5Yy...

Where is the moral panic? Where are @lisanandy and @Keir_Starmer? Or are we saying Rod Liddle can use his national platform to call for state violence and it’s fine But if Bob Vylan chants about actual state violence it’s “incitement”? At least try to be consistent.

Still no 'Little James' so far in this #Oasis set. Wonder if they've bumped it to the encore.

Bob Vylan update: apparently calling for the mass killing of young people is fine if it’s in the Spectator.

Pissing myself laughing at the creaking old duffer, Jon Sopel @newsagents.bsky.social harping on about the amount of Glastonbury coverage on the BBC. He's turning into Mrs Brady, Old Lady from Viz.

This @theprodigyofficial.bsky.social set at #Glastonbury is off the scale! You feel the intensity of it through the TV.

I see @bbciplayer.bsky.social bottled it with the #Kneecap set.

Opinionated prick (and Anthony H. Wilson). Smolensky Gallery, Manchester

Also: unalloyed joy for Yes by McAlmont & Butler; a wave of word-perfect warmth for Bryan Adams & Mel C; momentarily killing the sound on Sugababes for everyone to belt out the line “Cos I know how I feel about you now”; Telephone by Beyonce & Gaga making us lose our brains! Pop music. Bloody hell.

You have more in common with the average Iranian citizen than you do with the people that run this country

Trump is a fucking mad man!

Thank you @laurenlaverne.bsky.social for choosing my recommendation for 6 of the best today on @bbc6music.bsky.social. Some of the messages read out today were beautiful. RIP Brian Wilson. A true pioneer.

RIP Sly. One of the best.

Loving this. Thanks to @cerysmatthews.bsky.social for giving me the heads up on her @bbc6music.bsky.social show the other week.

This new #pulp record is stunning. Managed to get the @vinyltaprecords.bsky.social white label too.

All going off on the hell site #Musk #Trump

New playlist of things I've been listening to over the past few weeks. open.spotify.com/playlist/38i...

A bit of Shack to start the morning. What a record!

Hope everybody who voted for Israel has left the telly on to watch the news.

The energy and love in the room for @supergrasshq.bsky.social last night at Albert Hall in Manchester was a beautiful thing.

Kicked off the weekend @uddersorchardcider.bsky.social cider festival. A brilliant community event with over 25 ciders on offer. Going to be a beautiful weekend, so may have to nip down again.

Brilliant atmosphere in Leeds this afternoon for the @leedsunited.com victory parade. Every vantage point utilised #ALAW #MOT

When you don't want to miss the victory parade but need to brush up on your Macbeth GCSE revision #MOT #ALAW #LUFC

Landed a new teaching job on Thursday. This from @hywelroberts.bsky.social helped with the prep. Getting the kids bothered and the gravitational pull of a good story found their way into my interview answers.

Alan Tyler of The Rockingbirds performing Jonathan Jonathan live at What's Cookin' last night. He tells us about the time he toured with Jonathan Richman in his new book - How To Never Have A Hit Record - which is available here alantyler.bandcamp.com/merch/how-to... youtu.be/O_Dj_ZHiKB0

Excellent Settler documentary from Louis Theroux. All he did was let the genocidal freaks speak for themselves and show the world who they are

We lost a good one today. RIP Joel Miller 1967-2029 #TheLastofUs

A day at Salts Mill yesterday to check out the new Hockney and Ian Beesley exhibitions. Bought some picallili too!

Morning on the allotment. Spuds and onions are in and collected the first harvest of the season.

Just back from a week on the Isle of Lewis. It has stolen my heart.

Starlings. Valtos. Isle of Lewis.
