See you in February, #York! And you (again), Dear @suedehq.bsky.social Good value in my opinion too. Less than £50 a standing ticket. New material and not in a stadium too. In your face, Oasis!!

On a train that goes through Wembley. Want to shout “oy! Can you lot keep your noise down! I’m trying to listen to a podcast about a band that releases new, quality music. Not an overhyped, overpriced tribute act!” The teenage rivalry never leaves you…
New episode out now! @theinsatiableones.bsky.social and I discuss this 'ere little publication and CD.

Paul McCartney once said that “God Only Knows” is the best song ever written and that it brought him to tears. Brian Wilson was indeed a true genius.

This occasionally borders on torture: By the sea vs Europe is our Playground, She vs Starts and ends…, For the Strangers vs Picnic by the Motorway, Chemistry Between Us vs Outsiders. I’m off for a lie down…
With the Placebo polls completed we move on to the next. Starting today, Best Album and Best Song polls for Suede💙

I agree with John. If I didn’t already have a copy, I’d be delighted to receive a copy of this for Father’s Day! If, like me, your dad’s living with #dementia, then a Cognitive #Book is the perfect alternative. Take a look: www.cognitivebooks.co.uk/buybooks
