Nine years without Tom Petty. He was one of those guys whom everyone seemed to love - me, my best friend’s cool older brother, my parents, my Home Economics teacher, the school bad boy. Wish we’d had him a little longer. I think this is my favourite of his songs: m.youtube.com/watch?v=uMyC...

Hav by Jan Morris is genuinely unique and unusually compelling. It reminded me of books like Orhan Pamuk’s Istanbul and Harriet Sergeant’s Shanghai, evoking a sense of nostalgia for a time/place I never knew and could never have known in the case of Hav.

It’s 1970 and ELTON JOHN takes out a crumpled piece of paper and plays “Tiny Dancer” for the first time in front of his lyricist BERNIE TAUPIN and Taupin’s wife Maxine (for whom Taupin wrote the song).

#NowPlaying The record turned 30-years-old back in April. I remember my dad buying it on CD when it first came out.

I went to school in 1990s Somerset. To prove that light travels faster than sound, my science teacher brought his shotgun to school. We stood at one end of the field, he at the other. We started stop-watches when we saw smoke emerge from his barrel and stopped them when we heard the rifle crack.

I’ve never understood why Shakin’ Stevens features on the cover of this Killing Joke album.

Sad to hear Bonnie Greer has died. I met her a few years ago at an event we both attended for London universities in NYC (she was chancellor of Kingston). She was jet lagged and wanted to go back to her hotel. I saw her to the street and flagged down a cab. As I helped her in, she kissed my cheek.

It’s not as if The Last Night Of The Proms was that musically challenging before. I mean, if the modern viewer can’t get to The Sailor’s fricking Hornpipe without a Sheridan Smith sweetener, then I’m further downgrading humanity’s chances of surviving the century.

It's like someone told Strictly about the Proms. "And now Lulu dances to Gorecki."

I know that Dolly Parton was a fantastically compassionate and generous human being and I’m sorry that she’s gone, but am I the only person who’s completely indifferent to her music? #LastNightOfTheProms

Of course, it's also the 25th anniversary of this record today. Still the best album of Dylan's late-period renaissance in my humble opinion, though Rough & Rowdy Ways isn't far behind. #NowPlaying Love and Theft by Bob Dylan

Lots of exciting new records to listen to today by This Is Lorelei, Ezra Collective and The Tubs but I'm going to start the day with @remhq.bsky.social's Murmur as I'm still buzzing from Michael Shannan and @jasonnarducy.bsky.social's Life's Rich Pageant gig at Koko. #NowPlaying

Last night I dreamt that Andy Burnham and his wife joined my colleagues and I for after work drinks. I’ve not been out for after work drinks with my colleagues in years. Still, I guess the new PM’s folksy man of the people shtick is getting through to me.
