APOLOGIES - I thought migrating my tw**t archive into my timeline would be seamless and it clearly hasn't been - so (a) I will prune them later (b) don't do it, kids

No UK acts in the global top 10 albums or singles of 2024 🤯

“Previously, UK acts have appeared in one, or both, of the top 10 lists every year since at least 2003.” reports the BBC www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

This is why we need to take seriously the crisis in grassroots and our media

Whoever came up with using the song "Left to my own Devices" for the EE advert about parental control on their WiFi is a bloody genius. Brilliant song placement. Brilliant.
HELLO? Is this thing on? We've spent billions removing Chintech from our telecom stack over security fears and now everyone's wetting themselves because **gestures**... Other civilisations must look on us and laugh.

Oh Cathy - thank you for the good times. And that cover. #totp
Bloody hell. I had a blind feeling Mum's Gone To Iceland was in this chart and I'm staggered I was right.... Brains are weird. #totp

Not a true #duvetknowitschristmas because my brother's actually staying in the B&B across the street, but I'd rather sleep on an ironing board than in a suite called this...
Thanks, this was actually a Tweet from 9 years ago that I (regretfully) imported. But I appreciate the offer.
Totally sympathise - I got rid of my CDs when I was hard up. Regretted it every day since. Way too much stuff that suddenly becomes unavailable. I use Bandcamp where I can now, including repurchasing some lost rarities - and the artist gets a better cut.
Just discovered that both Tsunami and Velocity Girl are gigging again! Be still my beating retro-indie heart!
A total favourite of mine - albeit a slightly cynical take on the season!
A spokesman for Andrew said:
"I'm fine with not going to Sandringham this year. I've learnt my lesson and have been invited to have Christmas dinner with my new bestie... Wallace, I think his name is"
An Evening with Dua Lipa = pop concert
