I'll be at all three. I'm approaching it like I would do community service, but without the hi-viz.

Had a dream last where @derrymick.bsky.social was dressed as a giant fox, ordering me to leg it to Monorail to buy beer and an angry record…

Jack Hargreaves from How/Out of Town. Was meant to be giving us a talk on fishing, but instead started waxing lyrical about how great condoms were. He died shortly after.

NEW post: "Cowboys opens the 2nd album. The record is tougher and darker. It's gritty enough that you could fill a truck with it and keep the roads safe - a signal they could move away from their smoother side demonstrated on 'Dummy'.” 10 top #Portishead tracks www.toppermost.co.uk/portishead/

As this conversation is gaining some traction, who’s the best minor celebrity you’ve seen looking a bit grumpy in or near some shops? Have you, too, spotted Griff Rhys Jones looking pensive in Habitat on Tottenham Court Road?

There’s nowhere better than a pub in Scotland during an Old Firm game. All those sweaty, angry-looking middle-aged bald men in shorts and white socks, as if they have a PE lesson after their anger management course. 5 stars, would recommend.

This is a huge loss. The Skinny we’re always happy to publish my weird and lengthy music utterings. I real gap in the Scottish (and wider) cultural scene.

Yesterday I walked through Oslo city centre from end to end. Today did something similar in a large, British city. One was clean, tranquil, green, cultured, predominately free from traffic, and generally just pleasant to be in. The other is a city in the UK.

Jolly good. Celebrity Help! My House Is Haunted is starting on Channel 44. "Princess Diana's former butler, Paul Burrell, reports ghostly noises and activity in his home. Could someone be contacting him from beyond the grave?" I certainly hope so. Arthur Askey, ideally.

That was the most stupid game of football I've watched since Escape to Victory

Not one of these so-called footballers have sparked up during the fag break... sorry, "Hydration" break, yet they like to see themselves as role models. Standards are dropping.

This is a great read, for those wondering how eschatological gibberish has entered the political mainstream.

It's truly wonderful to see all of the Anti-racism, Anti-Fascist turnouts today, all over the UK. A sliver of hope in a grim world. This is who we truly are.

In a restaurant prior to a Stewart Lee gig. So it's full of Stewart Lee fans. I can tell this because everyone is being very smug and discussing Turkish psychedia from 1975. Me especially.

Every time I'm in Dublin - which is increasingly frequent these days - I have this little ritual where I go to lovingly appreciate one of my favourite paintings - even though I have a print of it at home). Harry Kernoff, btw.

Ah, I note that Tony Blair has released his new LP. Obviously, I only like his early EP's. Oh, no, sorry - I fucking hated those, too.

Hoorah! New Canal Boat Dairies starts tomorrow. It’s such a lovely show; less of a bucolic travelogue, or even about canals per se – instead, the travels, travails and inner narrative of a huggable misfit, struggling to find his place in the world. A waterborne Beckett, perhaps.

This. There's something deeply amiss with a city I love (and it’s not necessarily a lack of investment). It’s beginning to feel hollowed out, a bit broken, and I’m not sure what’s going to fix it. Maybe put Stephen Pastel in charge, or something.

Forced to give the Polling Station a one-star Trip Advisor review because the staff refused to give me an “I Did A Vote” sticker. Again.

As much as I don't understand snooker, watching Wu Yize play is a pure delight. He's like The Pastels circa Truck Train Tractor, but in snooks form. A lovely way of spending a Sunday eve.

Lazer Guided @lazerguided.bsky.social · 26/04/2026

Watching the snooker. Mainly because I'm so colour blind that I have zero idea what's going on (why has the pasty-faced guy hit that snooker ball?), so it's basically an allegory for modern life.

Very much looking forward to this. Mark Jenkin makes movies that are a world unto theirselves

Fuck. Apparently I have to go to work tomorrow. Shall we just play hookey and go something fun instead?

Reading the new Will Self. The chapter where he lists the characters' cock size, both flaccid and erect, with guest stars Ridley Scott, Wagner and Monty Don, is worth the price of purchase alone.

Just popping in to say that the new @theleaflibrary.bsky.social album is bloody lovely, and that is all.

That's where the Easter Rising went wrong. Connolly should have mobilised the Westmeath Plant Hire lads to block the Luas tracks. That would have stumped the Brits #speirghorm

I was only 8 or 9 when I first heard The Human League’s ‘Open Your Heart’. A sound not futuristic but very much of the future. Genuinely believe it’s influenced my music taste since. Obviously I Shazammed it at the time.

On a conference call. Someone senior has just piped up with "There's widespread enthusiasm about the opportunities AI transformation bring, with many people feeling empowered and ready to innovate", and it took all of my will not to reply with "You been surveying CEOs again, or did AI write that?"

Watching Trading Places. Mental how they persuaded Mozart to write the theme tune.

I appreciate that there might be some grim things going on in the world, but the bar I'm in playing Hip to be Square by Huey Lewis and the News right now should see the publican in the Hague.

This is a great watch. Intelligent spookiness of the first order, written and directed by yer man here (and available on the streamers for those not in RTÉ-land).

As its the first sunny, almost warm day in Scotland since about 1978 I have decided it prudent to bin off work and elope to the nearest beer garden instead. I am very wise.

I once interviewed a known-to-be difficult American musician, yet he was so sweet… Actually, no, he was a real arsehole. Didn’t answer questions, gibbered on about mystics and conspiracy theories, and kept making fun of my English accent. Haven’t listened to his band since.
