Massive advert for @PaulHeatonSolo's new album has gone up on Wilsmlow Road. Surely it's easier to get him to wear a sandwich board with it on whenever he nips to the shops?

The brilliant comedy carpet in Blackpool was the brain child of artist Gordon Young & designer Andy Altman. It celebrates comedians who have played here. Sadly, Andy, who was a friend, died recently. I hope the carpet is looked after in memory of him & all the comedians

Masterly @secondmentions technique in this classical music article from The Critic magazine, whereby the obscure 18th century Hamburg composer Georg Philipp Telemann is transposed into "this Hanseatic note-spinner". 🎼🎶🎵

Clem Burke was so ridiculously versatile. There's a natural pull towards the big frenetic tracks but my fave has always been this. It's so locked in but so laid back and just pushes the song forward constantly without ever making it sound like a challenge. youtube.com/watch?v=NDiVBi9m…

Fun fact I always think of when I think of Clem Burke is that the drums took a week to get right and Mike Chapman made him record each bit of the kit: the snare, the kick drum and the toms - separately because it all had to sync perfectly with the drum machine they were using.

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Sofia Gubaidulina on March 13, 2025. She was regarded as the grande dame of contemporary music and the most significant Russian composer of our time. © Bodil Maroni Jensen #SofiaGubaidulina

Not Gold Radio playing a ‘Happy International Women’s Day’ voicenote over the intro to the boys are back in town. Who oked that?!

We're shocked to hear that creator of @thedamned, our great chum Brian James has sadly gone. A lovely bloke that I feel so lucky to have met all those years ago and for some reason chose me to help in his quest for the music revolution that became known as punk. Cheers BJ! 🌹

Getting to see The Damned’s original line up a few years back was an incredible experience. This news is unsurprising but a shame.
