To everyone still following me on here, i won't be using Twitter/X again for the foreseeable future.

[5:4 @5against4]

@Sshakes1979 Absolutely. It seems *such* a long time since what he did sounded fresh and new. He seems happy to just phone it in…

@BerlinPhil Also getting this error with the app in our Blu-ray player - clearly a problem at your end, as everything else works fine. Can you confirm there’s a problem please?

[5:4 @5against4]

@BerlinPhil Getting this error on Amazon Fire TV Stick this evening. Tried everything. Thoughts?

[5:4 @5against4]

@Sshakes1979 Depends if you're happy to listen to yet another reheated serving of the exact same stuff he's been churning out for years. I'm not.

[5:4 @5against4]

@Simply_Superior Ooh, maybe that would make some of the tracks sound genuinely interesting? Didn’t work playing them forwards…

[5:4 @5against4]

@pall_ragnar Ah, Aladdin Sane, definitely!

[5:4 @5against4]

@pall_ragnar ? What do you mean?

[5:4 @5against4]

@pall_ragnar Definitely enjoying these later albums more than the earliest ones; 'Aladdin Sane' is my favourite so far… 🤘

[5:4 @5against4]

@pall_ragnar This is my first journey through Bowie's back catalogue, and this is the first album that's really caught my attention 🙂

@Logan_French_ @jayceebh @cineworld Totally agree; i've given up trying to fathom how Cineworld decides which cinemas to show things in. Our local is Cheltenham, a seriously cultural town, and they consistently decide to focus on the huge Hollywood blockbusters at the expense of everything else. So stupid…

[5:4 @5against4]

@STEcopywriting @TivoliCinemasUK @cineworld In case you still want to see this, French Dispatch will be showing at both the Roses in Tewkesbury and the Guildhall in Gloucester. Thank goodness!

[5:4 @5against4]

@jayceebh @cineworld Don't bother asking - loads of us have been asking this repeatedly lately (especially about French Dispatch) and Cineworld give fuck all answer about it. It's infuriating and completely stupid.

@cineworld Why doesn't your website use cookies?? i have to log-in every time i go to the site! And before you suggest it, my settings (in Chrome) are fine, it's your site that's the problem!

@MusicClerk @krhes You should hear the Shep Pettibone extended remix of the Manfred Symphony. Epic.

@BWesternCortez The best cycles I’ve heard by anyone are Gielen and Chailly, but there are still some cycles I’ve not explored yet…

@orguemystique It's bizarre, i've been planning to write about this piece for a while, but somehow my brain leapfrogged through September. How weird!!

[5:4 @5against4]

@orguemystique Oh FFS - what's wrong with me?? I sense an embarrassing edit coming up...

Thank you!!
