Latest radio show is up on the Mixcloud. Usual mixed bag of stuff, this month featuring @christt.bsky.social @jilk.bsky.social @chloeharris.bsky.social @gema.bsky.social @cabaretvoltaire.bsky.social @warringtonruncorn.com and others.

My great grandfather’s name. He’s on IMDB, was in James Mason’s first film and a few other films in the 1920s.

The best Reading headline lineup for years. But Simon’s joke is spot on…

…there’s more stuff that I’ll go into in more detail on once I get back into a blogging routine.

As @christt.bsky.social pointed out in a post recently, it’s proggy and unusual, which I hadn’t necessarily realised before…but definitely wear as a badge of honour.

I wonder if there are many people out there who’ve driven as many miles as me for work, yet also never owned a car. Countless circuits of the UK, hundreds of thousands of miles, around the EU and across North America too. Still never had one of my own.

115: This end of Autumn Hello, welcome to Border Crossing issue one hundred and fifteen, I hope you’re well, thank you very much for continuing to look out for my writing and reading these.

083/ On the new Tom Williams album You can spend months immersed in a project, yet only much later suddenly realise there’s a key theme you’ve missed, when you finally sit down and play the finished item for the first time.

New Double Chorus newsletter on deep, focused listening and the new Tom Williams album. Has an odd missing sentence because I poorly sub-edited it, but otherwise golden… doublechorus.substack.com/p/083-on-the...

You’ve made me think about how ridiculously great that song is slowed down from 45rpm to 331/3rpm, suddenly a 70s soul classic. And also how if you speed Bruce Springsteen up the other way, he sounds exactly like Dolly. Morning chief.

Or perhaps there’s something about Tortoise that feels like band practice.

Maya Rudolph?

082/ The set list, the band, the thank-yous Thank you so very much if you were there.

I wrote a Double Chorus newsletter about Saturday’s gig, covers the setlist, the band and my thank-yous list…

Shabana Mahmood casually saying they're gonna take migrant's jewellery off them has got me thinking about that scene in Schindler's List where the Jewish family wrap family heirlooms in bread and swallow them.

What the fuck are we?

Delighted to hear Cory Doctorow refer to tech monopolies as “a handful of inbred companies with corporate Hapsburg jaws”

Well that @christt.bsky.social gig is going to rate as one of the happiest I've been to. Proper lot of love in the room.

A truly emotional night, for us almost as much as for you. Thank you!

I've seen @christt.bsky.social play countless gigs, but last night at the 100 Club was easily the best. I sang, I cried, I started a football style chant, and also got told off by security for not joining the aftershow queue of people getting things signed so I could give him a hug. Life affirming.

Thank you message for last night’s gig.

I’ll hit you up asap (going back to bed rn!) I meant to give you a couple copies of each one.

One of the most pure vile, disgusting things I’ve ever heard from a ‘Labour’ politician. And that’s saying something these days, they all spout such hateful bully pulpit crapola. Any decent society would laugh this stupid person out of office.

Thank you message for last night’s gig.

every single one of these emails is someone I already hate messaging a notorious pedophile to say "Thanks for the great time! I had fun doing pedophile stuff with you. P.S. Trump was there with us the whole time"

It’s Chris T-T gig and LP reissue week. Very excited. These beauties are officially released on Friday, then my first proper headline concert in almost a decade is Saturday night at the 100 Club, with my gorgeous band.

In case you missed it. Live acoustic, sweary ‘Cull’ from last month…
