That's very impressive and moving (especially for a Friday night!)

Just literally turning this over and over with husband, trying to thrash out our policy. It's very frustrating that we don't have reliable figures from the past, due to changes to diagnostic criteria.

I mean I probably would in fact do that but then I'm not an enormously cool and hedonistic NYC musician 😆

So sorry to hear this, it is outrageous what is happening to your country

Don't you see / It's all we can do? John Ashbery

JOHN ASHBERY

RAIN MOVING IN

The blackboard is erased in the attic
And the wind turns up the light of the stars,
Sinewy now. Someone will find out, someone will know.
And if somewhere on this great planet
The truth is discovered, a patch of it, dried, glazed by the sun,
It will just hang on, in its own infamy, humility. No one
Will be better for it, but things can't get any worse.
Just keep playing, mastering as you do the step
Into disorder this one meant. Don't you see
It's all we can do? Meanwhile, great fires
Arise, as of haystacks aflame. The dial has been set
And that's ominous, but all your graciousness in living
Conspires with it, now that this is our home:
A place to be from, and have people ask about.

What is the funniest punishment you can come up with for Man City? I woke up thinking all players must have their legs tied together three legged race style.

Book recommendation request! What’s a book that you really enjoyed and that taught you something new? I don‘t want to feel called to action or to have to grapple with the past or the future. Just like, wow I didn’t know anything about this and now I do and it was fun learning it…

Welcome to the appreciation Gemma! Yes I agree it seems like a real hiatus for a band that seemed to love playing live. Here's hoping for future shows....

Time flies and it's always a shock to realise 10 years have gone by....

I have my hand up 👋- one day can we do Five Songs You Are Obsessed With Right Now?

Hmmm going to have to think about that one

Oh really? What was that, if I can ask? She's an ex-student of the college where I work and I love her songs.

French marine biologist Jeanne Villepreux-Power invented the first glass aquarium for scientific study in 1832. Her sealed tanks (with aeration & water stability) enabled live observation of sea creatures, which was revolutionary in marine research. She was born #OTD in 1794. #WomenInSTEM

You too, cheers! Enjoy a well-deserved night out....

Oh yes I so agree, that's where I read the story of the song...and then I read the book again and was hit again by it.

Part 2 of.. we don't know yet of The Fields coming tonight. Not essential but recommend reading: Shortcuts. The Willerby Sonics. Ghostspotting. Children at Play. The Fields Part 1.

I would have gone to that if I'd seen it/been able to, what a combination. I saw the Decemberists at Brighton Dome and they pretty much blew the Dome off!

Ever been to Willerby? If so, dive in...if not, you're missing out and this would be as good a place as any to start!

Perfection. Now I want to start googling 'Decemberists Tour'!

It hits so hard - and then when you read the story behind it, it's even more addictive and (literally) haunting

This is a very poignant and excellent set of choices

I have also seen them live and they were absolutely amazing - the wild epic of the Mariner's Revenge Song....

I totally agree and very much admire your choices as well as your nifty solution to the problem of choice
