Currently 4 tracks in to demoing the next album (still a long way off) and we have 4/4, 7/4, 4/4 and 5/4 respectively. Tracks 2, 3 and 4 all also have random bars with an extra beat in. Not particularly doing the 'we're not prog' argument any good

Nice to know that people are becoming more and more confident about outsourcing their brains, though!

Pleased to report that interviews / Q&As for us are starting to come in, from respectable outfits, which are clearly generated by ChatGPT.

The temptation to answer using the same method is pretty strong... were it not for the fact that AI comes up with utter garbage. Plus, I'm not that lazy.

Farewell & thanks for everything Captain James Lovell. Apollo 8 Command Module Pilot - arguably NASA’s boldest mission - Commander & survivor of the ill fated Apollo 13. I’ve met few people more inspiring or more generous with their legacy. God Speed, safe flight. #AdAstra #NASA

Eating this ultraprocessed food may be good for you and the planet, experts say | CNN Plant-based meats have been viewed at times as ultraprocessed and possibly unhealthy. But some experts believe they deserve a second look.

This has always been clear: plant-based meat alternatives are better for the planet and, at least compared to red meat, better for your health. That this is not widely accepted is the product of meat industry disinfo, science illiteracy, and some very stupid journalists.

Government launches Orgreave inquiry, 40 years after clashes at miners’ strike Move follows decades of campaigning over violent policing and collapsed prosecutions at South Yorkshire coking plant

This is very good news and has been overdue for.. well, pretty much four decades.

Still feeling so confident?! I think we'll get them (probably), but this is why test cricket is the best

How is anyone supposed to do any work when the test match is this good? 🏏

Arghgjgh thanks

Following on from this, I wrote this post below about Good Vibrations and even felt moved enough to create a tempo map for it. Free to read, if you're interested:

I heard Good Vibrations whilst out and about the other day and actually remarked out loud: 'Listen to how brilliant this is, and how absolutely bonkers. No one does it like this any more.' And indeed they don't, and won't. Sorry to see you go, Mr Wilson.

Yes he's totally fine, thankfully!

We're heading back to North America for the first time in over 8 years - anyone who wants to register for the pre-sale tomorrow, head here!

We'll probably be targeting songs that will work best with 20 strings so in all honesty I wouldn't have thought it'd make the list, sorry..

Sorry, but thanks for being magnanimous about it.

It was actually 8 - it went fully on sale at 10.04am again for some reason. But yes, remarkable. We've not had a response like this ever before.

Sorry Curt. Thanks for being kind about it though.

Yes, me too. Crikey

Just a reminder - this is happening in c. 22 minutes. Having been through my own ticketing odyssey this morning (CBeebies Prom), godspeed to all who venture forth.

Our two Barbican shows go on general sale tomorrow (Friday) at 10am. Based on the pre-sale we think they'll go pretty quickly - good luck everyone!

www.barbican.org.uk/whats-on/202...

Give @willnorman.co.uk a follow for more news on that front - lots happening

It was deactivated by the Barbican around 10.30 after the pre-sale sold out - apologies...

It closed around 10.30am I'm afraid due to selling through (very) quickly...

They closed it around 10.25am BST as it had all sold through I'm afraid.

Thanks to everyone who bought tickets via the Barbican pre-sale this morning - it's not especially intuitive or clear, but pre-sale has now been closed as all tickets sold. Please try again in the general sale on Friday at 10am if you were unsuccessful
