"They're like... imagine they're ghosts haunting you from a past that never happened. Imagine the space age has been and gone and you miss it. And Broadcast are letting you be nostalgic for that. And for the future, which may or may not exist. Also, so like you know Modernism? Okay, so in 1890..."

playing anything by Broadcast on my show is delightful because I adore them, but then I have to try and describe them as I introduce them, and it always comes down to, "I dunno man youv'e just gotta listen to them and then something will click and you'll get it, but I cannot explain it"

i really don't need Dropbox to be down now that it's 3:44am which for me is the middle of the fiscal day

All Fours by Miranda July was transformative for me. It validated so many things, made sense of an ever confusing world.

I've decided to get the living fuck over it, once and for all. There, I've declared it now, so it's real. Just like bankruptcy or war

I asked my tarot cards to tell me what the hell is wrong with me and it told me I have "shiny object syndrome" (according to various interpretations)

yeah yeah yeah it's all very well and good becoming a *darling* but do you know how many velvet turbans i now have to own

Gus played a piece of music on the organ this evening that he wrote, it was called "Trip to Chicago, Cold Weather: You Have Already Packed Everything" and it did just sound like that, it really really did

Do we all agree, after watching the Netflix doco about America's Next Top Model, that the woman who "got drunk and cheated on her boyfriend" was in fact raped? Like we can all see that plain as day right

Christian Brothers by Heatmiser is up there

My new book, coming out early next year, is me basically putting my schizoaffective disorder to work. If it's going to say shit about me and make me feel weird then it's about time it started paying rent. Write a book for me, you utter dickhead. Earn your keep.

THE WORST THING IS THAT PEOPLE ARE MAKING AI EPSTEIN FILES when the real ones are already so fucking shocking and appalling? Is that not enough for you guys? You're thirsty for even worse pedo content than before and you want to spread misinformation? Fucking why? Are you on glue?!

I showed my friend a selfie I took when in London for work the other day, and he said, "you're serving a full buffet of cunt". And once upon a time I'd have been appalled. But he's right. That look was so cunty

Am I having my Elliott Hour right now? Well I'm glad you asked. It's the *key changes* in fact. Shine on me baby, cause it's raining in my heart 🎵

Better than any musician, you think I meant. No

Coming back to say this happened beautifully this morning at 7:30am, Baruch HaShem

I have to return some videotapes

Elliott Smith will sing and play the most angelic harmonious melodies and delicately fingerpicked 12 string guitar like a lute and sing: "had a dream as an army man with an order just to march in my place / while a dead enemy screams in my face" - and this is why he is better than anything else

i really wish i'd got to hear you say more!

a motivational fridge magnet that says "silence your harsh inner commissioning editor" in cursive

PRETEND you are a commissioning editor for a large journalism platform by getting a substack, thereby having many good ideas for articles, but then pitching them to yourself, and ultimately telling yourself there's really no point in actually writing it because you'd never publish it anyway

Today my six year old said to me, "owls don't make a nice noise. Actually the noise they make at night is horrifying"

I would like to show you this fanmail I got. It means so much to me. Radio is the conversation I have always wanted to have, and it can only be fate that brought me here, and thank G-d it did.

New eyelashes, new living room, enduring red lipstick, new view from the sofa. New life.

Ok i am back on BBC Radio 4 tomorrow night at 9pm doing a LIVE BROADCAST and sharing my big thoughts about crime and punishment and trust me, I have some. I'm going to get REAL and do it CHARMINGLY.

My favourite time to vape is when I wake up at 5am and look at the clock and realise I get to go back to sleep for a bit longer, and i celebrate with a half asleep vape and go back to sleep. Absolutely exquisite

look all i'm saying is sometimes you just want someone to say "that's cool!" or "that sucks!" and not "here is how i would personally improve on your situation" because that communicates the message "i sort of don't respect you that much"

deeply suspicious of those chicken wings that are almost chicken legs, like if the restaurant can't differentiate then where does it end? no thanks

the pizza is bad but the crust is fire?? wtf?? 2026 what on earth will you have in store for me next
