It is finally time for fire beast tea… Come on #lufc in the Premier League 😈

Bargain bin delight... (and why I'm glad I wrote my book in the pre-AI olden days of, err, 2023)... foryoursavageamusement.co.uk/2025/08/18/why…

On this day 30 years ago, Blur beat Oasis and reached number one in the Battle of Britpop. I bought Country House. But there was another Britpop... Feat. James Cook & Flamingoes foryoursavageamusement.co.uk/2025/08/20/the…

My newest reader is Mikey the beautiful cat! Thanks William Lee Adams 😺 geni.us/Connection-is-…

Thank you Moseley Folk & Arts Festival & The Heath Bookshop - what a great festival… honoured to chat ‘90s once again! Connection is a Song - get yer paperback now 💗 geni.us/Connection-is-…

This was a lot of fun to do - I could chat forever with James Cook of Flamingoes… Inside the other Britpop 👀 via Drowned in Sound ⚓️ drownedinsound.org/inside-the-oth…

"Echobelly pissed all over Oasis as a live band" A choice quote of James Cook's in this double interview we did for Drowned in Sound ⚓️ about the *other* Britpop... 🙌 drownedinsound.org/inside-the-oth…

Extremely grateful to LeftLion Magazine Nottingham for doing this lovely piece on my chat with Saint Etienne 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/2025/…

What a joy to spot International out in the wild (Southwark tube) Saint Etienne 👀

A glorious album, one of the gems of the ‘90s that gets forgotten. Not Britpop but definitely British pop - Stars still sounds flawless ⭐

Am reading this book *right now* and laughing a lot! Can't wait to chat with James Briggs about all things Bowie, cycling and people not indicating when they turn left 😂- book your ticket now - Nov 20th ⚡️

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.

🍹⚡️Yes! Looking forward even more now! ⚡️🍹

Am in Cardiff this weekend with evidence that, yes, Bowie *is* everywhere… This Thursday (20 Nov), From Ibiza to the Norfolk Broads - with James Briggs Rock'n'Rollbookclub 📚 Icon Books eventbrite.co.uk/e/james-briggs…

Proper chuffed. Thank you Dave Rowntree & thank you to the marvellous Heath Bookshop in Birmingham ❤️

My very talented pal Rich Jones on strings - it’s freshly mad every time I remember he’s *in* Pulp 😂
