NEW KEENAN, APRIL 26, HERE WE GO (Also surely my favourite announcement video I’ve ever worked on)

Sorry Stu only just seen this - absolutely, we'll get a hardback sent your way (can you DM me address, got it somewhere but will be quicker than me trying to dig it out!)

Have always had a lot of time for Brenden Aaronson. #lufc

Oggy oggy oggy! The donk-tacular dance music of Hull’s huge funfair With 600,000 people attending, Hull Fair is the UK’s biggest – and has a thrilling but overlooked musical subculture. We follow the blaring soundsystems to meet the DJs and MCs facing off in waltzer b...

I’ve managed to squeeze in a fair bit of niche music into the pages of the Guardian over the years, but especially chuffed with getting to cover the waltzer sound system wars of Hull Fair. www.theguardian.com/music/2025/o...

Hayden Thorpe performing Ness with Robert Macfarlane and full ensemble at the Barbican. This is the good stuff. This is what it’s all about.

Babe are u ok? You’ve barely been out to explore the depths of a nearby lake or ocean in your ‘Cold Palmer’ underwater vehicle

Ok finished it earlier this week - BLOODY HELL

New Idlewild album is out today. I’ve loved this band for over 25 years now and have always thought they’re so underrated. This new one is just a lovely piece of work. Long live Idlewild.

168 SONGS OF HATRED AND FAILURE is officially a Sunday Times bestseller and will be #7 in this weekend’s chart. Huge congratulations @keithcameron2.bsky.social! Thank you to everyone who has bought a copy or come to an event, the record stores and bookshops who have supported this special book…

First “holiday” away with 2 kids so only managed about 100 pages BUT what I did read was certainly up to his usual high standard

Nothing hits on holiday like Herron’s horses

This is such sad news. Sareeta was incredibly talented and a brilliant person to work with, and she always pushed to make the industry a better and more inclusive place

If that happens I’ll change my name by deed poll to ‘Brenden Aaronson’s Little Headband’

Ain’t no timeline meltdown quite like an ‘Aaronson’s starting’ timeline meltdown. #lufc

James Dean Bradfield and Nicky Wire of Manic Street Preachers, performing, signing, and in conversation with author @keithcameron2.bsky.social

Last night I got to watch James Dean Bradfield playing Spectators of Suicide for soundcheck in a completely empty Earth theatre and it was something that will stay with me for a very very long time

The life-changing magic of sitting in a fantastic pub on your own with a lovely pint and just going on your phone for a bit

A copy of The Absence by Budgie

Book 35 was The Absence by Budgie. Really enjoyed this. A very honest look at himself that never feels self indulgent (& has some great tour tales). Thoroughly recommended (plus he is the BEST drummer so there’s that too). @whiterabbitbks.bsky.social @tomnoble.bsky.social

Shame we just couldn’t quite secure the extra winger and striker Farke wanted. Still, good news on loaning out Ramazani and releasing Bamford, smart business 👍 #lufc

Praying, begging for the transfer window to close so I don't have to hear any more minute-by-minute updates on whether Isak is going to Liverpool or not, I simply do not care

The fierce new paperback cover of Base Notes has just landed courtesy of @whiterabbitbks.bsky.social -- and is now available to preorder at your local independent bookshop.

If you squint, you’ll see ‘Clive Loves Dawn’ written on the number plate…

Will always have a soft spot for Patrick Bamford. A proper Bielsa era cornerstone, always put a huge shift in and on his day was genuinely sublime. Yes he could be frustrating occasionally, but with a bit more luck with injuries he could have had 100+ goals for us. Love him. #lufc

Happy birthday to my latest, A PARTICULARLY NASTY CASE, out today wherever you buy or steal books from.

UP THE MARINERS

That was so limp it was genuinely quite funny, never been more nailed on that a team were losing a shootout. #lufc
