How I'm walking out of 2025

Not coming out until 2026 #Caturday

Merry Christmas from the cat! 🐈‍⬛🎄

Morning #trees

The Quietus really is the best music website out there and the subscription is worth every single penny, trust me...I have one! Buy yourself an early Xmas present folks...

Sharing my disappointment once more that my actual name doesn't lend itself naturally to an adapted Bluesky profile name at either Christmas or Halloween. #Christmas

Hi folks, after last minute crisis talks with the management at ‘5-albums towers’ 😉 we’ve decided to allow John Lennon / Plastic Ono Band to count as part of tonight’s #5debutalbums7074 seems a bit unfair to allow Macca in after his soundtrack but not JL after his ‘indulgences’ 😉 See you shortly 👍

#FallFriday A big creature will stalk you And it will alliterate and proclaim

It's polling day on #5debutalbums7074 Have I picked my #1 Record? I have. It's not this one (this will be number 2) Polling is messy sometimes

Sneaking up on the dog? Me?

It's behind me isn't it? #Caturday #Henurday

Me: determined to travel light on this trip Also me: yes I'd love to borrow that Mark Fisher book that weighs the same as four house bricks and I probably won't get round to reading for a year

Feel like my Tidal Rewind is struggling to find a pattern for me (sorry, Ellen Beth, I'll try harder next year)

It's that Wonderful Time of the Year when you realise you have almost no current postal addresses for your wider family and friends circle #ChristmasCards

Yes we are! Tix on sale December 3rd.

Chilly but lovely at Norfolk Wildlife Trust Thorpe Marshes this morning #Norfolk #Nature (PS - didn't Norfolk Wildlife Trust used to have an account on here?)

🎧 Let our November #NewMusic #Playlist be the soundtrack to your weekend! 🎧 Listen here: getinherears.com/2025/11/28/p... ⚡️ It's full of indie gems, dream-pop & shoegaze tunes, punk bangers, electronic musings & experimental soundscapes...⚡️ (1/2)

GENN yay

Only the Shadow knows (where the treats are) #Caturday

Introduce yourself with 5 concerts you've seen: Echo & Bunnymen (first) Mandrake Handshake (recent) Live Aid (biggest) Genn (smallest but mighty) The Fall (most)

One third of Mandrake Handshake playing a great gig at Fabric last night. First time I've seen them on a stage wide enough for all 9 of them to stand next to each other without risk of poking someone in the eye. A few new songs in the set so looking forward to even wider stages in 2026 #livemusic

Doubling kicking myself for missing this tour. A) because it's 808 State but B) just discovered they have the brilliant Ellen Beth Abdi guesting with them. Enjoy the tour if you're going and also check EBA's debut album released this year @ellenbethabdi.bsky.social @state808.bsky.social

So ‘Who This World Is Made For’ recently surpassed 100,000 views on YouTube. Who knew a song about feeling apathy towards the world and disillusionment with global politics would resonate with so many people...

24 hrs left on the first auction… ebay.us/m/zPzKbC

American Werewolf sequel sounds disappointing

If you are traveling to Manchester to see My Bloody Valentine & have time to spare before the gig then check out the wonderful People’s History Museum- it’s only a few minutes walk from Aviva Studios. Learn about societal change through organising & protest ✊ #mybloodyvalentine #peopleshistorymuseum

This is coming up on Wednesday (Nov 26) and tickets are still available. Mandrake Handshake's biggest gig yet and it's going to be a good one #livemusic

Looking forward to an afternoon of Kindred Spirits with Balaam & The Angel, Ghost Dance and Rose of Avalanche @roseofavalanche.bsky.social in Walthamstow. And a 7pm curfew so easy to get home #livemusic #homeintimeforantiquesroadshow

My nan wouldn’t have been arsed to come to see me at Strictly. I was at hers once and a friend of hers came round. “Oh, is this the granddaughter you’re always talking about?” “No,” said my nan. “That’s the other one.”

YOUR toilet could look like Stewart Lee's! Head to heykidsrocknroll.etsy.com for the Curious Orange diorama and so much more!

Have loved DG's music since the 80s and am looking forward to the box set. Last time I saw Dick play was in South London and had a chat with him afterwards about the Scottish Martyrs Memorial in nearby Nunhead Cemetery. Linking history, geography and social (in)justice is so typical of his work.

Autumn leaves #Autumn

Just heard that Jack Barron has died. Very sad news. Thoughts with Helen and all those close to him.

Dear friends. I’ve done something different launching Legenda by targeting independent bookshops. I didn’t drive all sales to Amazon. So I’m relying on those of you that are reading it to share reviews & spread the word. I want this book to be supported by readers, not algorithms.

Tired of the same old Christmas cards? Want something a bit different? Get your #Christmas cards and wrap here www.gailmyerscough.co.uk/christmas-ca...

#5debutalbums1014 Faris Badwan and Rachel Zeffira's project from 2011 - Cat's Eyes Saw Rachel play solo at the Union Chapel but never caught CE. Rachel's own solo album The Deserters (2012) also up for consideration

We are 5! 🎈 THANK YOU for being part of the mission. At a time when Amazon profits are soaring, and small businesses face ever increasing pressure, WHERE you choose to spend your money makes all the difference in keeping these community spaces on the high street. Bookshop.org

Think I went to Field Day festival in London every year in the #5DebutAlbums1014 period and among many memorable sets seeing Anna Calvi for the first time stands out. Her debut a strong one for my top 5

#5DebutAlbums1014 Savages - Silence Yourself

Voting begins this evening for #5debutalbums8084 Just gotta whittle it down to five. Only five. It's nearly Halloween so who can I draft in to help?
