Ok President Trump, if you sue the BBC for $1bn for spreading lies, I’ll sue you for the same amount. I reckon Planet Earth would crowdfund that. Then I’ll buy Mar A Largo, turn it into a climate change research centre, free Melania, and put a 1000% tariff on orange face paint.

The Blu-ray won't play on my player, it's region-locked, but the UHD plays on my PS5 🤔

The cover of the recent Vinegar Syndrome remaster of Michael Mann's "The Keep".

Where / how did you watch it please?

I'm sufficiently obsessed that I imported the recent UHD/Blu-ray remaster.

Totally my kind of thing 🤌

Books of the Year 2025 | Rough Trade Rough Trade's favourite books of 2025 featuring Budgie, Evan Dando, Debsey Wykes, Sofia Coppola, Ozzy Ozbourne, Dennis Morris and more.

Really chuffed to see that Budgie’s memoir The Absence, which I helped write, is Rough Trade’s Book Of The Year. It was a joy to work on this & encounter Budgie’s tender fearlessness in writing about subjects most male musicians don’t go near. A lovely man.

Today is scarf day #1 in the UK so the ancient thin linen one saved my biscuits down on the south coast.

Now I have to find the rescued Japanese cotton thingy before we go Full Wool.

I love it when that happens and they start clucking about "stick to music", "keep politics out of it".

A couple of years ago I was at a Divide and Dissolve and after about 15 minutes the guy behind me discovered that he had really, *really* come to the wrong gig 😆

Well despite the sad circumstances that's a stellar start 🙂

What could you be doing in that part of town? 🤔

See you tomorrow night. Rich Mix is a nice place.

tfw your 1,000-word tweets aren't working

That looks idyllic. Tell Lola I said hi.

But Duvel in a Chimay glass [Belgium instantly disowns you]

Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.

‪Early this morning in 1916 2nd Lt Wulstan J. Tempest shot down zeppelin L31.
He flew the length of its underside blasting incendiary rounds into it. He was almost crushed beneath it as it fell. It was the last deliberate zeppelin attack on London.

My father was her master.

Although not for many voyages I think.

As far as I can remember his usual rides were the Northumbria ("the Old Cow" 😄) and the Dalriada.

Zero In demi-diamond 👍

A tip from a vintage clothing enthusiast in the FT years ago.

Although we're coming to the end of the season now - they pick up nothing in the winter.

London Venue IKLECTIK Finds New Space in Peckham | The Quietus London venue IKLECTIK has found a new home in Peckham. The team behind the experimental music and arts space shared the news on Instagram this week, revealing that they will be taking over a gig space...

A new home for IKLECTIK in Peckham! thequietus.com/news/london-...

I have / had three different CD singles of that 😄

Google says that you're the same age as me, and you evidently live nearby.

We are all the elderly couple in Brockwell Park 😭

Just checked DICE and you're sandwiched between Loscil and Amenra 🧐

I came here to say exactly this 🙂

"Yeah, that's right, find the pinch point and plant yourself SMACK BANG IN THE MIDDLE OF IT" 😡

Closely followed by trying to steam onto the tube the moment the doors open a crack and getting all offended when 50 people pile off and plough you out of the way.

You're on fire in November. This, Minami Deutsch, Craven Faults. Not to mention Warrington Runcorn a few days earlier.

Fantastic!

I come down the other side of the hill. Belgian friends were amazed that at that time of night the back streets are just awash with foxes 😄

I'm going, but only to catch Lankum and Mogwai.

Like you, it's an easy walk home, and all downhill!

Ledbury?

Wat is Sandals?

I have to assume I have it kicking around.

Alex lives just up the road from me.

I only know of you through @benefitstheband.bsky.social but that's recommendation enough. @sulkrooms.bsky.social is bloody great.

But... my actual birthday 😬

"Restless and Wild" and "Balls to the Wall" are bona fide classics.

I think it's fair to say I was a bit obsessed in the 80s.

This, I did not know. Thanks for the tip and please report back!
