Vinyl, Football, Culture, Kenny. Formally known as ‘Darren Bojangles’ Was I happiest in the 70’s? YOU DECIDE!!
My book, and my Edinburgh show, is full of serendipity. Here’s something that happened today. I have 5000 of these flyers to give out. The first one went to a man called Tom from Washington DC and you’ll never guess who he went to school with - Abraham Zapruder’s granddaughter
This is one of my absolute favourite albums. Looking forward so much to seeing Dexy’s live this Autumn…
Got a call from Mrs Bojangles this morning from Belladrum Festival. ‘You’ve looked after my parents for 3 days, so I’ll cook dinner for you all when I get home, ok?’ I am currently under strict instruction to wake her up 5 minutes before the food I’m cooking hits the plate, and not a second before
Only 22 of you will watch this to the end 😉 Wee mid-week update: → ALFOS baseball shirts have SOLD OUT → Nick Coupland Tokyo House collab has landed, and the detail is insane → Spooky is next, one for the heads → Spotted the clue to a new collab yet? 👀 Send me good vibes 🤞
From pages 38-45 of this remarkable book is a section on journalism that is so urgent, so compelling, so precise in identifying some of the major flaws and failures of mainstream journalism as an industry at this moment in time, that I wish I could make all American journalists read it.
@weare1of100.bsky.social I purchased my first 1 to 100 tee, two weeks ago. It is s.o.f.t. If these lads produced pyjamas, we’d all be Charlie Bucket’s granda. We’d never get out of bed. The economy would collapse. A.I. would not be the reason for the end of humanity. Luckily, they don’t. Yet.

This job has aged Burnham hasn’t it?
My Mrs watched the half time show but not the match. Me? The other way around. What a dope I am

Nile Gardiner is made of soon-to-be-off cheese and hatred. That is all.
I’m currently at the staring despairingly at social media stage of looking for paid work- historical research, writing, editing, talking about buildings, training tour guides- if anyone knows of anything I can do remotely, please pass it on. 🙏🏻
#NowPlaying Confusing band, Dire Straits. Sometimes, I listen to them, can’t stand to listen to them and turn them off. Sometimes, like today, even with a record I might not like that much, I think they’re brilliant.
I hope Martin ( @4hundredblows.bsky.social ) won’t mind, but his astonishing new book has a chapter called ‘Futures and Pasts’ and today is #FallFriday, so …
Hey #Radiohead fans. Genuine question… Is ‘Hail to the Thief’ any good? I gave up after The Bends and OK Computer.
There must be an, admittedly small, yet special room in Hell reserved for B&B guests who make porridge in cups.
NOTTINGHAM! I’m doing a special preview performance of my Edinburgh show at the Vat and Fiddle on the 20th July. Tickets are just £3 which is basically the price of a Fredo these days fixr.co/event/the-um...

If Trump could just call the F.A. a few times to say that those 115 charges against City are all ‘Fake News’, that’d be great.
