Just listened to Purple Mountains for the first time in ages, the final album released by David Berman. What a loss 😢 Feels like today's going to be a Silver Jews-heavy kind of day

It's my firm belief that there are very few savoury culinary problems that can't be solved with the addition of sweet chilli sauce

wowzers - i've just received one of the most batshit-crazy comments on my blog - it hasn't been published because all the posts on there are so old and i haven't written anything for ages - but I might feel a post coming on... #PeopleAreStrange / #BotsAreStrange

Treat yourself this Friday and read this lovely bit of writing from BfiCoin - tomcox.substack.com/p/radishes

I’ve said it before and will no doubt have cause to say it again, but oh my goodness, thank heavens for Backblaze backups. That just saved me a whole world of pain. Thank you. I need a lie down now.

Wow. So the bird-thing will be completely unusable soon. Cool, cool. Tremendous businessman. “Twitter’s TweetDeck will only be available to verified users, company says” theguardian.com/technology/202…

Might as well share this before Elton Rusk stops us posting them. I’m on Threads (yeah, yeah, Sheffield has been hit by a nuclear warhead) and here’s my link: threads.net/@vocodamol

A thread. Respect to 𝔻𝕖𝕖𝕣𝕙𝕠𝕠𝕗 , They Might Be Giants , and all other artists who are continuing to do their jobs safely. As an immunocompromised person, it means a lot. Seeing TMBG later this year. When will I see the ‘hoof?!?

Bonus Episode of the This Are Johnny Domino podcast, where our friend BfiCoin talks about trying to help us achieve an indie-music level of fame. Features Steve Lamacq, ARCHDEACON OF POP and the scourge of bespectacled musical brothers everywhere. podnews.net/podcast/iak7f/…

This could work…

Incredible. There should be a lifetime position of List Czar and he should be it.

There’s no actual reason why this should make me as happy as it has. Bless you both Mark Radcliffe Marc Riley ⚽️🍺🐳

Quick shout out to the rest of the insomniac posse…

No cheating. Your last saved celebrity photo/gif is your therapist. Who is it? - mine’s a bit different to John Shuttleworth. Oof!

This is a great story and thread, sort-of about the Lego movie but mostly about community and a particularly odd shared experience. If you don’t know, @greg_jenner is responsible for the first 8 series’ of Horrible Histories (the first five are magnificent).

An apology to the woman who was filling up with petrol near me at Morrisons in Derby. When I shouted “Oh for f*ck’s sake!”, I was having a bad morning. You smirked at me so I think you knew that it wasn’t directed at you. I just really hate Tuesdays. #AbolishTuesdays

When I heard the Tories were clamping down on sick pay and #benefits, I was concerned for my health and those of my other #disabled friends. But then I read the quote that The Fraud Bill would "treat benefit fraud like tax fraud". So that means they'll do fcuk all, right?
