When pieces of a remarkable story are missing what you can rely on for sure is business people involved in an artist's career will exaggerate their influence. If you're not going to be celebrated like an artist is, you point to your inclusion in the picture. It's all very human and fascinating

Beautiful Delilah is great and a perfect closer. Such a good choice to bookend the album with blues tunes #foreigntongues

I love Mick's riffing over Ronnie's guitar #foreigntongues

And when the lump in your throat is getting a bit big, Micks says "come on, Ronnie" and you grin from ear to ear #foreigntongues

Jillian Reilly @jillianreilly.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
And just when Mick's lone-wolf, hard-boiled, character is getting a bit much, we're given Back In Your Life. I love this song #foreigntongues

Jillian Reilly @jillianreilly.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
Side Effects is probably my least favourite on the album, but by the time we get to "You don't even laugh at my jokes", Mick has taken me with him #foreigntongues

Jillian Reilly @jillianreilly.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
I love the unhinged, almost free association, riffing of Mick in the verses for Covered In You. I love the mad rhythm he sings them in #foreigntongues

Jillian Reilly @jillianreilly.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
I love Some Of Us, it feels like the heart of the album. I love when Mick and Keith harmonise and when they trade lines too #foreigntongues

Jillian Reilly @jillianreilly.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
Mick sings You Know I'm No Good with such relish and swagger, revelling in all the words and melody. There's no fragility here, but it's a great take #foreigntongues

Jillian Reilly @jillianreilly.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
Hit Me In The Head might be one of the weaker tracks, but I love the drums, the crunchy bass, the insistent piano and the harmonica sounding like it's coming from another universe #foreigntongues

Ringing Hollow is a beautiful lament. And I absolutely love the lines "Let the dreamers get the dream they want. My favorite joke" and "They took away the welcome mat" #foreigntongues

An absolute treat to see the latest pieces on display from artists/makers I used to work with at Garvald Edinburgh. I even bumped into a parent whose daughter I helped to get a place at Garvald. Days off like this are good for the soul. Exhibition at Summerhall until 7th October

A message to the people in #70Up: we have grown up together, and I’ve always watched with fascination, but the current series fills me with such unspeakable joy and grief at the same time. Thank you. A true epic. I salute you x

An interesting episode that has made me want to revisit Alice! And while we're in the realms of subjectivity, what I find interesting about the notion of a glass onion is that it's an onion that wouldn't make you cry. Which then brings me to the phrase "it would bring a tear to a glass eye" Haha!

"Records could take you places. Sound pictures. That is what it was all about". THIS. And it's why we pore over music magazines 60 years after the fact. This series has been a delight. Can't wait for the next one! (Although I will because @chrisshaweditor.bsky.social deserves a rest!)

Since 90% of British political media is now a digest of "what politicians and the public say online" this is an extremely easy system to game. So you have every party leader commenting on the Litter Tray Hoax a few years back. The same people now alarmingly reluctant to comment on racist thugs.

Just finished a rewatch of Mrs America. Fictionalised accounts can reveal great truths. That fictions can be weaponised against objective reality to brutal effect and the fictions we tell ourselves are maybe the most brutal. The storytelling and performances here are so good
