See you there?

A new Jonathan Coe novel is always a delight. The Proof of my Innocence wraps formal experimentation & a history of neo-conservativism in a murder mystery set in the time of Truss's ludicrous premiership & comes out with a real page-turner. Funny & thought-provoking.

@NursesQuarters Have a great night.

I went to a gig and it was rather good!

"The crowd join in harmoniously with both ‘Tar Barrel...’ and the encore, ‘Good Companions’, a parting song that sends us all cheerily into a still dank night." @AndrewNeal66 reviews @TheUnthanks at Lytham Lowther Pavilion:

Fortunately, I can spend hours upon hours listening to the Go-Betweens.

"It has been an unfettered delight to dive into this boxset and if any band warrant delving down an obsessive wormhole, it is surely the Go-Betweens." @AndrewNeal66 reviews G Stands for Go-Betweens:

"Despite a loss of momentum towards the end, at its best it sounds like a top-notch band playing together and features some of Petralli’s finest moments." @AndrewNeal66 reviews 12 by @whitedenimmusic @bellaunion:

It also covers the life in music (Felt, Denim, Mozart Estate) and events that have had a formative impact on a singular figure.

Easy to see why @Willjhodgkinson's Street-Level Superstar has been hoovering up the music book prizes. An empathetic & funny tale of Lawrence which revels in all the small details normally missing from music biographies: liquorice, milky tea, public urinals & bungalows.

It "scales the musical heights of ‘I Love You, Honeybear’ and ‘Pure Comedy’ while the lyrics are full of the WTF moments, insights and puzzles that will delight his long-term fans." @AndrewNeal66 reviews the new

@RichardS7370 Thanks as always for putting this together. It's the first time one of my choices has topped the chart. Good to see Dexys & MBV in the top 20 as well.
