On Tuesday night I knew the true nature of reality, how consciousness arises, the meaning of life & how the universe ends- then I woke up, just a dream- d'oh!

Not wanting to jump on any bandwagon, I can't help but agree this album is fantastic, one of the best of the year. Love the lyrics, the off-kilter arrangements, the energy. Great music is great music

country pop is not my go-to music genre & I was only going to stay for a couple of songs by CMAT at All Points East but wow she was great, such energy in the songs live & what a show she put on with her band

Great to have you back. Hope the writing went well.

Cerys, you play such great music on your shows & I wonder whether so much of it started in sub Saharan/west Africa???
you might like this lovely bit of Gnawa music by a leading female light in Morocco.

Your book is fantastic. Hounds of Love is a masterpiece & you did it great justice. You also transported me back to the 2014 Hammersmith show - I found myself buzzing & welling up all over again. Thank you

@cerysmatthews.bsky.social Cerys, love the show as always. How about Branches by Midlake. A bit of melancholic beauty

my god this is amazing, an absolute torrent of words, moving, funny, filthy, disturbing, a modern Mexican classic - one fierce translation by Sophie Hughes

Absolutely love the Georgian polyphonics. I probably first heard it sampled by Kate bush - Tsintskaro by the Basiani ensemble on Hello Earth but also on the Nosferatu film! Fab music!

Fab run through the sunny woods west of London, past nearly every neighbour as well as every dog and horse in the county.

You’re putting in mind for some real Brazilian grooves, how about…

My goodness, Mr Maalouf was exceptional & a fab interview. Lovely to hear White Denim & saw them at the Kentish Town Forum on Friday - my god their support band Plantoid were immense.
Have a listen to Terrapath (eg Is that you) for all your prog jazz rock needs. So great I got the T-shirt
