Ace to see Panic Shack on Jools Holland. A minor victory for this ever vibrant and exciting underground.

The Circle of Life

I'm on the verge of 100k views on Nonewwavenofun, considering I don't really advertise or promote it much, is not too shabby. I started it as love letter to new music and although I don't always get the time, it will always remain that way. Support your local music blog in any way possible.

Not had a great week for various reasons, but just watched 'Pavements' and smiled broadly for 2 hours straight. God, I love that band so much.

I know a lot of us have feelings about Bandcamp’s changes in ownership over the last few years. But it’s still true that buying music directly from independent labels and artists on Bandcamp remains one of the best ways to support the musicians you listen to.

Tried to justify keeping Spotify to myself for several weeks now - mostly out of convenience - but the time has come to change. Might just get the old Discman out.. Four alternatives to Spotify: swapping is easier than you think | Music streaming | The Guardian share.google/tSSrXB8BvEui...

Working out all the chords, alternate tunings and lyrics for performing this next week has been no small amount of work so if a promoter somewhere else wants to put on a small show of me performing Essex Arms I might be interested.

Off to a wedding today to celebrate the love of two very lovely people. Excited to eat, drink and be merry! Also to escape the real world for a bit.

Fear not the man who has 10,000 records, fear the man who 10,000 copies of the same record.

Interesting one. I had to have a look over my collection l, because I totally forgot some of them. Here are some of mine though: ..Trail of Dead Bowie The Fall Dylan Neil Young Pulp mclusky/Future of the Left Manic Street Preachers The Rolling Stones The Cure Stevie Wonder

Kneecap taking the media heat while Bob Vylan leads the crowd in a televised "death to the IDF" chant is truly the funniest way this could have gone down.

Pulp are national treasures. Pass it on.

Hahaha! Now Amyl & The Sniffers are going rogue live on the BBC. Excellent scenes.

The Beeb aren't showing Kneecap on I Player, but just put the whole Bob Vylan set on from beginning to end - you couldn't make this up!

Someone who picks the music for 'The Bear' decided to put 'Square One' by Tom Petty halfway through the season and now I'm in dire need of a cuddle from my whippet.

Poor Supergrass did the old "sing it!" moment at Glastonbury and about 7 of the 30'000 ish crowd responded. Good job they're pros.

11/10 social media work by the Durham Bulls

The last time I went to Glastonbury was 21 years ago. I was the only one of my friendship group to get a ticket, so I went on my own. I think about that now sometimes, and I have a minor panic attack.

This is a really thoughtful and important listen

Had an absolute blast last night. The sheer joy of seeing a band you've loved for 30 years - dancing and singing along to every word - was much needed. Amongst the many highlights in their set last night: Pulp doing 'Babies' in front of 23000 at the Co Op live, Manchester.

Split a can of beer over 5 people on a train before by complete accident. Never felt so many eyes on me in my entire life.

On the way to see Pulp and pull all the Jarvis Cocker moves in a very, sweaty arena. What could possibly go wrong?

ICE looking more and more like the American Gestpo.

One of the best gig days of my life was seeing Brian Wilson playing 'Pet Sounds' in full with other members of the Beach Boys in Liverpool. Yes, the home of the Beatles. He'll always be remembered as a genius who made extraordinary pop music. Rest in Peace.

I don't claim to be able to review films in the same way as music, but cor blimey Guvnor 'Heretic' with Hugh Grant is dead good.
