New Idlewild album is out today. I’ve loved this band for over 25 years now and have always thought they’re so underrated. This new one is just a lovely piece of work. Long live Idlewild.

First “holiday” away with 2 kids so only managed about 100 pages BUT what I did read was certainly up to his usual high standard

This is such sad news. Sareeta was incredibly talented and a brilliant person to work with, and she always pushed to make the industry a better and more inclusive place

Last night I got to watch James Dean Bradfield playing Spectators of Suicide for soundcheck in a completely empty Earth theatre and it was something that will stay with me for a very very long time

Book 35 was The Absence by Budgie. Really enjoyed this. A very honest look at himself that never feels self indulgent (& has some great tour tales). Thoroughly recommended (plus he is the BEST drummer so there’s that too). @whiterabbitbks.bsky.social @tomnoble.bsky.social

Shame we just couldn’t quite secure the extra winger and striker Farke wanted. Still, good news on loaning out Ramazani and releasing Bamford, smart business 👍 #lufc

Praying, begging for the transfer window to close so I don't have to hear any more minute-by-minute updates on whether Isak is going to Liverpool or not, I simply do not care

The fierce new paperback cover of Base Notes has just landed courtesy of @whiterabbitbks.bsky.social -- and is now available to preorder at your local independent bookshop.

If you squint, you’ll see ‘Clive Loves Dawn’ written on the number plate…

Will always have a soft spot for Patrick Bamford. A proper Bielsa era cornerstone, always put a huge shift in and on his day was genuinely sublime. Yes he could be frustrating occasionally, but with a bit more luck with injuries he could have had 100+ goals for us. Love him. #lufc

That was so limp it was genuinely quite funny, never been more nailed on that a team were losing a shootout. #lufc
