What a thrill and honour to speak with internationally acclaimed Irish author Colm Tóibín for RTE's Culture File Presents: The Confort Zone. We talked women and the Beatles through the lens of the Beatles '64 doco and my book.

Because we believe in maximum transparancy / regrettable over-sharing: for a little bit, here's a rough demo of a new Assistant song. Just me on this one for now but AS and Pete will work their magic on a version in the weird future soundcloud.com/assistantbri...

A Friday hail Mary... I have this gorgeous copy of Blowing Your Mind by Van the miserable Man which i would love to find an original sleeve for. Does anyone have a tired copy, which a VG or better sleeve they'd be willing to sell to me (or for some Brighter Day credit)? 🙏

Same day as this magnificent photo

Its May 1963, Beatles are in the Playhouse Theatre caff readying themselves to record a radio session. Ringo is perusing issue 37 of Private Eye. Exciting times.

Bonfire night always makes me think of "The fast rise and fall of the South" by The Kingsbury Manx. I hope this old Goldfish post explains why. God bless you Tim, wherever you are. agoldfishcalledregret.wordpress.com/2013/11/18/n...

62 years years ago today John Lennon cracked this joke at The Beatles only appearance at the Royal Variety Show. He motions putting his fingers in his ears, so as to prepare the esteemed audience for the noisy thrill of Twist and Shout that The Beatles are about to undertake.

It's never too late to become a Top 10 Independent Breaker.

RIP Peter Watkins: his film The War Game is the most frightening I’ve ever seen: it changed my life when I saw it at 15. Nothing was the same afterwards. I wrote about it at length in 1966: The Year The Decade Exploded

Did Tony Blackburn just crack the worst joke ever?! 🤔🤦‍♂️ #TOTP

#THIS #TOTP

Have Chicago gone yet?! #Shudder #TOTP

No, sorry - Church of the Poison Mind was peak Culture Club, not this and certainly not Karma flippin' Chameleon. #TOTP

#TOTP I abhor Culture Club so here's the far superior number 2 in the charts instead.

Ironically this was said to me quite a lot during school discos in 1982 while the record was playing. 😎 #TOTP #EddyGrant

Well they'll never get anywhere, what a silly name 'Beatles'! 😎 #TOTP

It’s not always glamorous. But it’s the only reason some venues are still here. A saved gig is great. A saved building is better. That’s why we’re here. Support the work of our support team via bit.ly/MVTsupport now. Because this matters.

One of my favourite slabs of vinyl. Cheers Marianne, irreplaceable.

INSTANT KARMA! (WE ALL SHINE ON) → youtu.be/H6y1GRYLWwo On 9 October 2025, The Late Show’s Gospel Choir sang a medley of John Lennon songs to celebrate his 85th birthday at the Imagine Circle at Strawberry Fields, Central Park NYC. Watch now on the John Lennon YouTube. #powertothepeople

Live music is nothing without the fans and the House of Commons Culture, Media and Sport committee have decided it’s finally time to put them in the centre of decision making, with a fan led review of Live and Electronic Music.

#80sTop30 Day 31. Unranked. This was fun! When We Was Fab - George Harrison. A song which sums up my '80s really (i.e.; mostly spent dreaming of the '60s 😎). Ringo plays drums here, so that's the complete Beatles set in my Top 30. You expected nothing else, of course. youtu.be/AVu6nPTVbBQ?...

Dear @mojomagazine.bsky.social; no 'Ray'? No 'The Doors'?! I'm unsure what criteria were important to you; not lead performances it seems, or not consistently. Some included here have central performances worse than 'Bohemian Rhapsody' or even 'Summer Dreams', in which Bruce Greenwood is great. Odd.
