Matthew Ingate @t0mbstoneblues.bsky.social reports in from two Rough and Rowdy nights in Paris

Don’t give these people benefit of the doubt. This racist rant isn’t an accident. Or ‘speaking out of turn’. It’s designed to fill our airwaves with people debating ‘if’ non white skin is a problem. Not Reform. Diversity isn’t the issue, hatred is. Don’t indulge it, vote for it or tolerate it.

“Tune this”: The time that Jeff Tweedy thought he was about to collaborate with Patti Smith

Have had a fair few articles out with Far Out recently that I've really enjoyed writing, but it's especially nice to get a chance to bring in a bunch of orhe things I'm passionate about (veganism, anti fascism, anti capitalism) alongside the music faroutmagazine.co.uk/everything-n...

nothing chatgpt has done is as impressive as akinator, the mind-reading internet genie from 2007

Courtney Barnett has got a new song coming tomorrow, Stay in Your Lane, which will premiere on Lauren Laverne's BBCR6 at 11.25. Here's the very first article to have broken the news that she had new music on the way, from way back in June 😉 faroutmagazine.co.uk/stay-in-your...

It's always a pleasure to get to write about Courtney Barnett

‘Mostly Patient’: What can we expect from the next Courtney Barnett album?

Idea for what to write about by my girlfriend, words by me: faroutmagazine.co.uk/the-five-bes...

1942's "Now, Voyager" is a first rate tear jerker only slightly weighed down by its pace. Bette Davis seized hold of the production and ably demonstrates why she was perfect for the role, making the film into a triumphant examination of the power of love on the human spirit. 9/10

Something I wrote over the weekend faroutmagazine.co.uk/greatest-son...

Bob Dylan video message to Martin Carthy at a tribute this evening (Sep 27) 🎥 with many many thanks to plansfail for recording

Tempted to buy the lot so that no one can string them up around town

Got asked to write about Watching the River Flow, and put this together whilst watching a slightly larger body of water faroutmagazine.co.uk/leon-russell...

The five best-selling novelty songs of all time

This is funniest possible headline for a song literally called "Song for Bob Dylan"

Really sad to hear the news about Robert Redford. Wonderful actor, incredibly cool guy and just one of the all time greats. These are two of my favourite movies ever

This was such a treat to be a part of and an honour to be invited to. I'm always grateful to anyone who takes the time to read anything at all that I write, and thoroughly enjoyed this conversation Special thanks to @rmrakove.bsky.social for such thoughtful and thought-provoking questions

Very excited to join the It's Alright Ma (I'm Only Reading) Bob Dylan book club tonight, as they meet to talk about this old thing bobdylanbookclub.com/ingate

Good post day today. This might finally encourage me to listen to the RTR box set I sprung for in 2019 and then never got around to listening to

I've been down this road before, alone as I can be Careful not to let my past go sneaking up on me Got no future in my happiness Though regrets are very few Sometimes a little tenderness Was the best that I could do www.youtube.com/watch?v=L21T...

Bob Dylan’s live performances are a unique art form of their own and few people have seen more of them or written about them better than Matthew Ingate @t0mbstoneblues.bsky.social . This is a great conversation between him and Dylan scholar @inthephishbowl.bsky.social - don’t you dare miss it.

It was such an honour to be invited onto Erin Callahan's wonderful podcast, and I so loved this conversation. Hopefully you will too @inthephishbowl.bsky.social open.spotify.com/episode/0AID...

January brings us a new Bob Dylan book from Robert Polito, which will surely be brilliant, and then February follows on with another new Bob book, from @whitecitycinema.bsky.social, which I can confirm is a real delight. What a great couple of releases to kick off the year with!

I think we'll all remember him for supporting Israel, really

Someone in America bought a copy of my book and when I took it to the Post Office to send it's come to my attention that even Together Through Life is not immune from Trumps Tariffs

The Singing Mailman: The songs that John Prine wrote on his mail-route

‘Sweet Soul Music’: Every song referenced in this Arthur Conley classic

Please stop using Spotify. Not because of this specifically, but because they are a company designed to funnel revenue from unsigned artists to shareholders, record labels and already wealthy people. This feature obviously sucks, but they also gave Joe Rogan shitloads of money.

First outing for my new racket. Unfortunately it didn't turn me into the man whose name is written across it

This is cool and all but it kinda kills me that every year they release more Tom Waits represses/remasters with zero bonus material. Open up the vaults Tom! If we’re never gonna get new music at least give us new old music

I hope Raducanu gets to semi's at least. She's playing so well. Just needs to avoid Sabalenka/Swiatek in the early rounds.

Something undefinable about the way I feel about Bob is in the fact that I can't imagine enjoying it if anybody else in the world made a racket like this (except maybe Tom Waits), and yet, when Dylan does it, I love it www.youtube.com/watch?v=4MAf...

I just can't envisage a time when I'll ever want to move back to London

Introducing the cat that has decided to move into our garden to things she probably hasn't ever heard before (John Prine and Courtney Barnett)

breaks my heart every time I hear it "you know that old trees just grow stronger and rivers grow wilder every day old people just grow lonesome waiting for someone to say 'hello in there, hello'" www.youtube.com/watch?v=OVhA...

Perhaps, one day, schoolkids will study this squalid little chapter in British terror-panic history. When they do, I hope these two headlines from today are printed side by side, with clear annotation of which individual faced more outrage and condemnation.

Got told by the person who works in my local bookshop earlier that I would make a good bookseller and it gave me the same exact kind of high I used to get in school when being praised by my English teachers

I wish the weekend lasted all week (I just don't like having to work)

Chatting with @nelscline.bsky.social backstage at Cain's Ballroom, conversation soon turned, as it so often does, to how amazing Theme Time Radio Hour was.

"In 2015, when the song came out, 197 countries signed the Paris Agreement at the end of COP21... We’re now ten years on from the treaty, and not a single one of the 197 countries is on target to keep their promises, and, in fact, global emissions have risen since 2015" 😢

Emma Raducanu has been playing well all summer but this level against Sabalaenka is the most “she’s back” we’ve seen since her US Open win. A very fun player to watch as of late.

No you read this and then spent the next 5 mins mucking around with a shit bit of Javascript to test the idea out

Feels like it's far too early for the football season to be back already, I was hoping for at least another month free from the misery of being a Southampton fan

Man, this is one of the best Masters of Wars I've ever heard him do as well youtu.be/UIpFez5K74A?...
