Proud to make my debut for The Guardian today.

Legendary photographer Henry Diltz talked me through some of his unseen photos of Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, Crosby, Stills and Nash, and others.

Thanks to Graham Nash for talking to me too. https://t.co/qDna792FiP

The Lemon Twigs were so good at Shepherd’s Bush Empire last night that I’m still thinking about it today. Those brothers can half write some tunes.

@ClashRobin Pleasure mate. I meant it. Certainly struck a chord with me.

This evocative piece will surely resonate with any fellow music obsessives who leaned on music and its journalism as a gateway to a wider world in our pre-social media age. It’s a great read.

What song would you play to your teenage self?

Meditations on rural adolescence, loneliness + music’s power to connect.

The most listenable of indie rock bands, The Strokes, have become utterly unlistenable if those first two tracks from the upcoming album are anything to go by. Yeesh.

I have - somewhat inevitably - written about the band Geese, the company Chaotic Good, and the cold, alienating grasp of the digital landscape.

Feel free to read it (if indeed you actually exist…)

@ClashRobin Great article (and temperature check) on these unsavoury marketing practices, Robin. A really good and timely read.

@thobbsjourno @SightSoundmag Great work mate. I was already eagerly anticipating this doc. Still, your articulate, well-sculpted review has upped my excitement for it further!

There’s been a lot about Sleaford Mods on here over the last week or so.

My new interview with Jason Williamson discusses politics, cocaine and porn addiction, The Demise of Planet X, and self-doubt.

And he has choice words for those acts who have burrowed from Sleaford Mods’ formula:

‘Is it too obvious for them to namecheck us? Not really. Fucking namecheck us. You’ve built a career out of it,’ he argues.

Very sad to hear of the passing of Bèla Tarr, aged 70. My 2019 Little White Lies interview discussing 25 years of Sàtàntangó will forever be one of my most cherished memories in film journalism.

We met in the evening at a Berlin hotel bar. He proceeded to drink pint after pint with a twinkle in his eye and an irreverence about his achievements. Self-deprecation seemed to be his defence against the revere many of us held (and hold) him in.

My favourite Tarr film will always be his last, The Turin Horse, but his whole catalogue remains extremely special. Goodbye to a filmmaking genius.

Slightly stunned to learn that both Mick Jagger and The Rolling Stones shared my latest feature on Instagram at the weekend.

It centred around the Stones’ first work since 2023’s HACKNEY DIAMONDS.

CC Adcock produced their blistering cover of Clifton Chenier’s ‘Zydeco Sont Pas Salés’ — a song that finds Jagger singing ‘perfect’ French Creole (no less!).

Both that track and the associated album, A Tribute to the King of Zydeco, has been nominated for a 2026 GRAMMY award.
