I’m just resting up now, on my hamburger beanbag, and waiting for the call from Pulitzer. #tastesgoodonthebun #ween #boognishprovides #theodyssey

Getting the goosebumps and swinging my skinny hips with the other cool kids at the first night of the tour from a slick soul band called The Afghan Whigs. 😎 👌

Funniest comment so far regarding why @thequietus.com might publish a pithily negative review of The Strokes. Yeah, that’ll be it. Not its terrible sound or anything.

‘ELECTRIC WIZARDS: A Tapestry of Heavy Music, 1968 to the Present’ is five years old already. Have you read it? Did you recommend it to anybody? What’s your favourite section? Why is there a whole chapter on FUNK? Any musical discoveries from its pages? ⚡️🧙‍♂️🤘🎸 📕 🎂 @reaktionbooks.bsky.social #booksky

The next FEEDBACKER column will arrive soon. Here’s the last one, again, in case you missed what I think about e.g. Parts & Labour and Y**gb**d. If you subscribe to The Quietus it will help us keep going. 🙏 ⚡️ 🧙‍♂️ 🪨 🎸 🎶 thequietus.com/quietus-revi...

Had a fantastic night at The Crescent watching EarthBall and Wolf Solent, and cueing up a few mega tunes between the acts. 🎶 🔥 🎸 🎷 Book me if you want to hear Part Chimp and Magik Markers at volume.

Mogwai sounded incredible at Brudenell Social Club. Grateful for my earplugs. People gesturing at their chests, doing the international sign for “I’m vibrating!”

Found this too matter of fact. Can understand it, given the subject matter and the concluding remarks. It’s barely a novel, though. Nor is it a biography with the requisite citations. Rightly or wrongly, I’d have preferred some kind of provocatively playful Martin Amis approach. #booksky #recentread

Has anyone in the history of radio ever played two Linda McCartney tracks in a row? If you’d like to learn more about a) Linda b) Paul McCartney’s experimental tendencies, and c) loads of other stuff, then check out Off The Ground: Paul McCartney In The 1990s.

Caught some of that Gary Numan documentary on the telly last night and he did just go from influencing Nine Inch Nails to copying Nine Inch Nails, right? Also that hair…
