Oh good I’m sat next to the man playing guitar on the overground. Some people are standing but please three seats for the width of his guitar.

I once interviewed a celeb for the Mail and included a fact about them that turned out to be wrong. My editor there rang me up to ask where I'd got this fact from. The Mail, I said. No further questions were asked.

Long shot (mainly due to how little engagement I get on here), but I'm looking for freelance writers with an interest, or specialism in, classical music.

If you are one, or know one, please give me a shout.

I will never tell this Kate Bush story again. I can't.

This is SO GOOD by @heawood.bsky.social on Lily Allen’s new album, and Lily Allen full stop. I am vicariously living the pain of that Kate Bush anecdote. open.substack.com/pub/heawood/...

I should probably go to bed now. But by the 37th listen it is... transcendent.

I haven’t seen it yet so don’t know if you’re asking for this as an increase from the one ep of her doing exactly this.

I realise that Aesop is already the punchline to any hipster soap joke but I tested their perfumes this week and the sales assistant told me, with a face of pure sad poetry, "Other perfumes smell of things but ours smell of feelings and of places." I wouldn't mind but they smelled of mud.
