Nick Lambrianou @nicklambrianou.bsky.social · 09/09/2026I brought a minidisc player in 1998 with the idea of recording lectures. Found in the loft just last week, brand new with a pile of unused discs except one which has a two hour recording of Jacques Derrida in Leicester. 141
Nick Lambrianou @nicklambrianou.bsky.social · 31/08/2026That record was like the holy grail to me (it had Rainbow plus Saxon, Scorpions, Quiet Riot) but even then I was embarrassed for him. I’m going to have to dig it out to check I’m not imagining it 110
Reposted by Nick LambrianouAndy Lewis @andylewis.bsky.social · 31/08/2026This record's about as Heavy Metal as Bad News arguing over the number of sausages served in a motorway service area all day breakfast, but who cares when it's one of the best pop 45s ever released. And it's total pop, written by the same person who wrote So You Win Again for Hot Chocolate.- 1511412
Nick Lambrianou @nicklambrianou.bsky.social · 31/08/2026On the 1980 Monsters of Rock compilation album, I recall some cringe worthy between song jokes by Bonnet and even a Robin Day impression at one point. In front of 1000s of heavy metal fans. 130
Nick Lambrianou @nicklambrianou.bsky.social · 13/08/2026Spent the week trying to knock 10 years worth of talks, proposals, fragments of half baked ideas etc into a coherent book proposal and have reached the conclusion that I have no idea what I’m doing and am an idiot. 000
Nick Lambrianou @nicklambrianou.bsky.social · 13/08/2026Loved The Masterplan by them, and The High record too. What a year! I was working in Dillons bookstore plotting my escape from Birmingham (it was art school that saved me rather than music) 110
Nick Lambrianou @nicklambrianou.bsky.social · 30/07/2026I think every film critic wilfully misquoting Wilson or playing the ‘but she doesn’t understand that a film and a text are different’ card should be hit over the head with a copy of Barthe’s Mythologies until they shut up 010
Nick Lambrianou @nicklambrianou.bsky.social · 24/07/2026I really want to enjoy the #proms prog concert but it is really underwhelming - the orchestra sound listless, the drums are clunky and all the singers are struggling with pitch - what’s going on? Under rehearsed or bad monitors? 220

Nick Lambrianou @nicklambrianou.bsky.social · 11/05/2026Charcoal was always my favourite medium for life drawing at art school - short but chunky bits of charcoal, using the long edge more than the tip on big sheets of paper (A0). Giacometti and Auerbach as guides... 000

Nick Lambrianou @nicklambrianou.bsky.social · 10/02/2026When Figo was little we let him out into our small back garden for his night time toilet break.

Nick Lambrianou @nicklambrianou.bsky.social · 16/12/2025Its a really interesting rhetorical form isn't it - 'I'm going to let you, clever Telegraph reader, in on a little secret I can only share with you as the masses don't understand' - flattery mixed with wishful thinking and a dash of implicit elitism. 000
