𝗧𝘄𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘆 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝗴𝗼 𝘁𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆, I was boogieing with #MassiveAttack. It was a marvellous show, of which my abiding memory – apart from Horace Andy and, incredibly, Liz Fraser showing up – is a bloke waving his crutches in the air to Unfinished Sympathy. Healed by trip-hop!

Always good to hear the dynamic Pod With Madness duo tackling the Matthew Trippe story. Personally I think it's amazing that this is a now largely forgotten part of the Crüe's history because it's not even the most bonkers thing that happened to them. #mötleycrüe #kerrang

𝟑𝟎 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬 𝐚𝐠𝐨 𝐭𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲, I moved into my first apartment, a short-ish stroll from Leytonstone station – pictured here in the intro video for the current #IronMaiden tour. This made it inevitable that, decades later, I would edit Maiden's Infinite Dreams book and occasionally pop up on a Maiden podcast.

Another great episode from these guys who focus on albums regarded as lowlights of the artists' catalogs. Worth listening to even if, like me, all you know of this album is the track that was in Grosse Point Blank.* *I did however survive two Pogues shows in London.
