Matt! I have incredible breaking news! Guess who went to see a certain East London team in Cardiff last week and has now decided to switch his affinity from M. City to his hometown team? (Clue: he’s 11 and I used to feed him with an umbilical cord.)

Jude Rogers @juderogers.bsky.social · 2d

Absolutely!

Such an incredibly complex man and character but I have to say that he made me an excellent cup of tea in his house for a Word to the Wise a million years ago, and what an interviewee.

Jude Rogers @juderogers.bsky.social · 2d

Hahaha, you tell, 'em, JRM!

Jude Rogers @juderogers.bsky.social · 2d

Oh, this sounds beautiful.

The Stay Together b-sides were my first love of Suede (I came to them after the debut). I also used to have a band with my friend Neil in university where we used to cover The Living Dead!! He played guitar and painted his fingernails and I sang. THANK GOD cameraphones weren't around.

My Dark Star is up there for me too. Was so amazing at the off-mic, wasn't it?

WHAT? Is it "rides"? *searches for smiling emoji with the mushroom cloud bursting out of the brain*

1. The Asphalt World
2. She Still Leads Me On
3. For The Strangers

(Also, @matosman.bsky.social - you shouldn't have to get out of this.)

I was trying to remember the track the other day and listening to Bloodsports to try to spot the handclaps! (Help my ailing perimenopausal brain, lads.) In other news, For The Strangers remains one of my favourite Suede songs.

It's like a really annoying bore of a bloke (I'm not talking about you, JL!).

Oh God, I don’t expect you to remember! I barely know where my laptop is most mornings.

Jude Rogers @juderogers.bsky.social · 14d

Aha! Haven’t heard this one. Thanks!

Of course - was addicted to that when it came out. He is beyond brilliant.

If it was the Naomi Klein interview, I did it – if not, I will search! I have been firmly in music and pop culture podcasts recently to save my fragile soul.

Jude Rogers @juderogers.bsky.social · 15d

Have read Naomi's book – interviewed her for The Bunker and saw her lecture at Boulder University when I was working out there last October. Of course, Jon's series. He's so brilliantly nuanced, I don't know how he does it. Will listen to the RB Origin Story (any mention of him gives me the ick).

"Wellness-to-nutter pipeline" is an amazing phrase! Thank you x

Have you done/heard any good podcasts on self-radicalisation? Im keen to listen as the phenomenon (it feels like a phenomenon) is staggering to me.

Elgar was a working-class lad from Worcestershire acting up (as Adrian Chiles and I discussed in Worcester the other week - YES). I love him too (well, I love the cello concerto and Nimrod and all the other desperately sad ones).
