I’m pretty sure the secret backstory for Colman Domingo’s character in Disclosure Day and why he built that elaborate house set for his first interaction with Margaret and Daniel was that he was a big fan of Nathan Fielder’s The Rehearsal.

I love how streaming allows me to re-listen to that weird Butthole Surfers album I got from the library 30 years ago and found too disturbing to play to the end. And how it’s still fucking disturbing 3 decades later on the second listen, and I’m not sure if my brain can cope with three more songs…

For those wondering where the 2023 “DaN McKee” synth album Playing With Electricity has gone: I’ve re-packaged it under the Strangely Shaped By Fathers name. Still available everywhere, but no longer separate from the rest of the SSBF catalogue 😀 open.spotify.com/album/6c2cFW...

Just found out that apparently the awesome #horror anthology I’m in — Hardcore Horror — on Earth Island Books has broken into the top 100 horror anthologies on Amazon and, even better (and more niche), we’re at number 7 in “Cosmic and Eldrich Horror” amzn.eu/d/f5chJS2 #book #books

Not sure why - but I decided to package the whole 19 release back catalogue of SSBF stuff for the price of less than a coffee over at Bandcamp (ssbfathers.bandcamp.com). Seems like it might be a good time to pop over there… #DIY #DIYMusic #DIYPunk #Punk #Solo #Musician #Music #bandcamp

God I love this compilation album. It was The Gray Race era #BadReligion that got me into them first. #Punk Rock Song. A Walk. Streets of America, etc… But then I bought All Ages on a trip to St Ives in Cornwall, discovered the back catalogue and fell in love for life.

What a lovely review of my #book ANARCHIST ATHEIST PUNK ROCK TEACHER from musician Eki Shola ❤️ “enlightening, thought-provoking and inspiring... Regardless of one's faith, cultural background, etc there's valuable wisdom and insight that can be gained by all from this book.” #Memoir #Teaching

Back from #Sweden. A lovely few days in a lovely country seeing lovely people. A nice bit of succour before Monday’s return to work.

Found a great New Year’s Eve hack - fly to a time zone that’s an hour ahead of yours. The. You only have to stay up until 11 to see in the new year. I’m in Sweden.

Watched #TheSixTripleEight on Netflix last night. Fantastic film. It’s wild though that the real King Edward’s School in #Birmingham (where they were actually stationed) wasn’t used as a location for the KES in the movie. Does anybody know why? @netflix.com ? #TylerPerry

Been listening to this 60 hour mammoth on and off for the past few years. This morning I finally finished the complete #SherlockHolmes 🏆

Speaking of #Idles - mad to think that just 6 1/2 hours ago I was at their show shouting “fuck the king” “I’m scum” and “viva Palestina” with hundreds of other like-minded people in Birmingham and now I’m supposed to just wake up and go to work like those moments of transcendence never happened.

At least there’s one newer band in my top 5 this year who couldn’t have also been in my top 5 when I was 16. I’m evolving. #Idles #Spotify #Punk #GreenDay #BadReligion #FooFighters #Nofx

Spotify listing of my top 5 bands: 1. Green Day; 2. Bad Religion; 3. Foo Fighters; 4. Idles; 5. Nofx

If you’re looking for an amazing Italian meal in London this Christmas, Pentole & Padelle on Store Street comes highly recommended 🍝

Lovely day in #London yesterday. Two plays - Dr Strangelove and The Importance of Being Earnest - and some further tribute paid to Wicked at St Pancras. Ncuti Gatwa is phenomenal in Earnest and Steve Coogan is brilliant in Strangelove.
