I didn't post this a few weeks ago because I find it strange when we chase after death on social media. But I've now re-listened to my chat with William Orbit from Jan 2022. We spoke for well over an hour and his detailed love of BBC World Service bowled me over...💙 www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Great weekend chatting David Bowie, bicycles and From Ibiza to the Norfolk Broads with ace music author @annadoble.bsky.social in the fab book tent at Wilderness Festival. Lovely, kind audience many of whom had seen or met the Starman in his prime! Thanks for having me⚡️
Everything Must Go is... 30. I've written a piece about what the album meant to me growing up (see early 20s attempt at Nicky Wire styling) - and how it still sounds amazing now. Black feathers forever 🖤 via @thequietus.com thequietus.com/opinion-and-...
Anna Doble remembers passing out during a Manics gig in 1996 and coming round clutching part of Nicky Wire's feather boa... and an album that came to define that summer Many Happy Returns to the #ManicStreetPreachers' Everything Must Go, which turns 30 today! buff.ly/qSjI6in

@thesquareball.net The interview with Aravind SA is absolutely amazing - thank you 🙃 #lufc
@juderogers.bsky.social Hi Jude, loved your chat about Jeff Buckley with Miranda Sawyer… I chuckled more than expected 😅
First music book of '26 in the bag and I just flew through this. As a recovering self confessed music snob myself 😉 there is much in here I can relate to - from an era I lived through but can't remember much of 🥴. Highly recommended read by the super talented @annadoble.bsky.social #BookSky
Thank you Simon @rnrbook-club.bsky.social - I definitely want to time travel and come round to yours for Subbuteo and I Should Coco! P.s. The Mariah Christmas song came out 1994 but was truly monstering pub jukeboxes by ‘95 - just in case the pop nerds come for me 😬

Remembering my Grandad Frank - front right - who fought in WW1 at age just 17 as you can see in his young face here. He lived to the age of 90 and never wore his medals, never wanted to speak about what he saw (at least two of his friends killed) and truly hated all talk of war.

What a joy to spot International out in the wild (Southwark tube) @bobpetesarah.bsky.social @rockingbob.bsky.social 👀
Extremely grateful to @leftlion.bsky.social for doing this lovely piece on my chat with @bobpetesarah.bsky.social for the release of International - whatever funny thing was said in the photos, I wish I could recall... but my money is on Wiggs leftlion.co.uk/features/202...

What an absolute dream to host the Q&A with @bobpetesarah.bsky.social at Nottingham Rough Trade this week for their new (and last 😢) album, International… I wheeled out some of my Leeds Student questions from June 2000 - will dig out the piece I wrote back then & share in replies 👇
@thebodyserve.bsky.social Thanks for a great post-US Open show… laughed out loud a few times & completely agree on the mixed dubs atrocity!
