I'm in the Yorkshire Post today discussing production with some of Leeds' finest studios. Please pick up a copy!

Ventured into Manchester for an interview with a founding member of the pill, a few half pints, and a dour selfie

The new @rocketrecordings.bsky.social art of book reminded me to listen to this euphoric space/noise rock Collab between White Hills and The Heads! Glorious synergy between music and cover.

All I did was search for a Fall song, but oh well, humanity was moderately nice while it lasted

Finished off the panettone, listened to the new House of All album, and heading to my first gig of 2025!

My view as I enjoy the forthcoming House of All album - looking forward to interviewing the band later in the year for @louderthanwar.bsky.social

Got a very expensive haircut today via venturing through the treacherous snow - now I can interview bands while looking and feeling good!

Almost 2 years once meeting, having my fashion sense complimented by, Johnny Marr, and a warm message of hope about my pursuit of music journalism!

Serendipitous shadow selfie, evoking one of my favourite songs of 2024, from Thurston Moore

Many thanks to my long-time loves @rocketrecordings.bsky.social for this, my final Christmas gift, Out of The Void: The Art of Rocket Recordings 1998-2024. A comprehensive overview of their stunning and influential art over more than 25 years! Onwards!

I have many things to thank @spinal-bap.bsky.social for, but recommending Bardo Pond is surely one of the best. Could be the beer and dessert and blue cheese over recent days, but this feels faintly festive

Looking for 2025 to be a year of more book reviews, album reviews, gigs (the below) and more. Please kindly share.

Found a band with the same name as the painkillers I'm on - I am at peace.

This looks like how a serial killer would murder a vegan. Might try it though.

Thanks to my mum for making these lovely mince pies I can enjoy whilst reading Thurston Moore and supping from my @normanrecords.bsky.social mug!

A solid year of reading among poor mental health and tumultuous news headlines! Please do send me recommendations!

Films and chocolates type Saturday whilst I recover from my agonising and mysterious pain - while this one makes a ton of playful noise! Christmas has begun (also started watching S5 of my favourite ever series, Fargo)

Thanks to Google and it's annoying AI for reminding me of when I'm at my ugliest (when my mysterious allergies kick in)

My letterboxd last four watched for this past week: a new release; horror classics and a modern stunner of a comedy cult hit. Gary Oldman is one sexy scrotum of a Count Dracula.

Nah you're fine, don't worry bout it. Open book me. Just had a busy night is all. Cheers for your concern.

Went to the local Green Party Christmas gathering last night: met lots of new people and made lots of plans to get involved going into 2025

Can someone help explain why this photo of Paul McCartney looks like he's joined the cast of Mario Kart?

Photo of me on the bus after an experimental curation in Leeds, featuring a no-wave, skronk-filled jazz duo; a musique concrete collaboration; and a drone-centred bagpipes/electronics pairing

Photo of cumgirl8, who I thoroughly enjoyed last night: a raw, chaotic post-punk band who came across like a digital era Siouxsie and The Banshees, with catchy synth parts and far more bums and boobs than expected

Got my copy of the debut Objections album the other day, as I watching one third of the band perform in Nape Neck alongside Bobby, the grown up child on the cover!! Glorious evening! Got one autograph, now just @objectionablejoe.bsky.social and Neil Turpin to complete the trio! I'm coming for ya!

Got my dog a new jumper the other day, possibly the best part of a truly abysmal December (so far)

After reading (a good chunk) of @spinal-bap.bsky.social's McCartney book, and as a form minority who viscerally hates them, I'd like to posit that The Smile are the Steely Dan of today: bland, soulless, highly technical music beloved by big shots like the NME.

Congrats to the Rocket Recordings bands that made it onto @thequietus.com albums of the year, especially Ex Easter Island Head, my favourite gig of the year!
