If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all. *deletes account* Music, football, arts & culture person. Now @ Threads or Bluesky; this party’s over

Weirdly can’t bring myself to delete this account yet, but I haven’t logged in for months, the app and notifications are gone, and I recommend everyone does the same. Maybe see you nice people somewhere else? So long, and thanks for all the fish.

[Adam Comstive @AdamComstive]

First post here in quite a while, and maybe the last. If there’s any of you real humans left using this website, and you long for the good old days of chatting and being able to make bad jokes and avoiding constant existential despair, then search my name on Threads or Bluesky.

What an incredible weekend at @bbcproms at The Glasshouse. But don't just take our word for it.

"The main hall is packed with a rapturous audience... Rakei’s contemplative electro soul...proves ripe for orchestration."

[Adam Comstive @AdamComstive]

Fresh from seeing this live @glasshouseicm last night and was wondering when Mercury list would be out because this feels a very deserving nominee. Gig of the year so far. Brilliant album, was even better as a live experience.

2024 @MercuryPrize .. an absolute honor to have Black Rainbows shortlisted for Album of The Year x

If you don't have weekend plans ahead here's some strongly suggested listening & free gig action for anyone in shot of Gateshead. The team have wrapped some brilliant stuff around the Proms this year.

[The Glasshouse International Centre for Music @glasshouseicm]

Hold on to your hat. Over our @bbcproms weekend, independent North East artists will take over the Concourse. Hang out at the free BBC Introducing Stage to see performers and DJs who might be your next musical discovery.⭐

Last year's Proms gig with Self Esteem alongside Rob Ames and Royal Northern Sinfonia was one of the best things I have ever seen. Seems the workplace is doing properly extraordinary shows as standard.

[Jordan Rakei @jordanrakei]

WHAT A DREAM! Performing with the @RNSinfonia conducted by @robertamesmusic next week! some tickets still available. We had a rehearsal yesterday and it sounds amazing. Can’t wait to do these songs in this format. @bbcproms

@DrAlexJack1 That's for the posh folk. I imagine you know a fella with a ladder round the back who'll keep an eye out for 50p.

If Mainoo and Foden carry on like this, people from Stockport are going to be insufferable. #NEDENG

Of all the great Simpsons predictions, Portuguese football is the most accurate.

Insert your own metaphor about something beautiful sprouting from something that's taken shit until it can take no more outside this polling station. Then remember to #vote. #generalection2024

I love PJ Harvey. The 6 year old asking why she's singing "I've seen some dumplings I want to forget" does not diminish this fact.

[The Glasshouse International Centre for Music @glasshouseicm]

It's not long until we welcome @jordanrakei to the North East for @bbcproms at The Glasshouse. Bag yourself a ticket from £8 to a class festival on your doorstep.🎉

For now, here's his performance of Freedom from Later... with Jools Holland.

@buryfcofficial What time is this running til? (As someone who has just seen this and is a 15 min walk away?)

[Adam Comstive @AdamComstive]

@factoryintl Absolutely. Live mixing the sound for your own ears in the most analogue way possible (walking around).

[Adam Comstive @AdamComstive]

Loved this. Absolutely unique way to experience orchestral music. Spent much of the time with our head in the bass bins.

[Factory International @factoryintl]

The @BBCPhilharmonic have landed at Aviva Studios for City of Floating Sounds - we got to hear a sneak peak and it sounds 😍

Walk amongst the orchestra and hear the full score composed by @ruohuang come to life, with an immersive performance unlike anything you’ve seen before.

[Adam Comstive @AdamComstive]

It's a strong yes from me.

[The Glasshouse International Centre for Music @glasshouseicm]

Two of the UK's most poetic, emotive and acclaimed singer-songwriters @BRyderJones and @GruffingtonPost converge for an unmissable co-headline tour celebrating their latest critically-acclaimed albums.

I stand by this suggestion, now it's politically relevant.

🚨 BREAKING: Labour is on the hunt for a new hit pop anthem to replace 'Thing's Can Only Get Better' for Sir Keir Starmer

Among all the hand-rubbing glee about Ten Hag's seemingly inevitable fate it's nice of @TheAthletic to offer that, after the brilliance of yesterday, he was always unlikely to be eaten.
