Bowie's producer Tony Visconti said of 'Etc Etc Amen' - 'One of the best novels I've ever read.' Available on Amazon (or PM me for signed copies).

Half a million words telling four separate stories that turn out to be one rather longer story. Aren't you at least tempted?

A beautiful little film (just 15 mins) about my wife's work and where you can see it. 'The ring and bounce of chisel on stone' - as she puts it - is rather calming. https://t.co/ojEwC0mlTD

@DonnaARees I took this task up myself (also lots of Vic &Bob!) a couple of weekends ago, to save any poor soul in the future having to do it.

@mrjimBob Well, I certainly just voted for one of yours. Not much else of note so far in 23, apart from @califonemusic's new one.

@BBC6Music @BBCSounds 'Befriend the Police' by @JimBob because it's got the chorus of the year ("Bring on the dancing nurses..." etc) a sublimely simple guitar solo (simple solos are best!) and an amusing get-out clause ("I saw it on a wall, so don't judge me...").

If I was still reviewing albums for the Independent on Sunday, I would have given @mrjimBob 's latest a 5 star review. A guitary, brassy celebration of staying true to oneself, and not being dragged down by all the shit. And some great rebel rousing tunes into the bargain.

It's 75 yrs since the Empire Windrush changed Britain forever. My wife Marcia carved this stone relief in the 1990s to commemorate the event. A shame it still hasn't found a permanent home. I love the pull and weight of the brilliantly rendered length of rope. #empirewindrush

@CulturalSnow No, right. I don't expect to be back in long trousers until late September. Not sure what the problem is - my wife tells me that my legs are one of my best features.

@GMacraeBurnet I had a character crushed to death by a giant marble smartphone sculpture of their own creation.

@chescaleigh I thought you'd appreciate this textile piece by my wife, Marcia Bennett Male. I think her work in general is pertinent to this conversation. It's called '‘Bells and Whistles Marcia, Bells and Fucking Whistles’. Tellingly, she has nothing to do with twitter.

[Howard Male @HowardIanMale]

Yes, you read that correctly. @califonemusic https://t.co/IrapiPeiwX

@NPortnell Oh it is. Signed copies available directly from me!

@NPortnell Zachary B in 'Etc Etc Amen' ;-) Tony Visconti said it was the best rock novel he'd ever read. Carter USM's Jim Bob said it was the first novel about a musician that hadn't made him want to punch the author. https://t.co/LnTVqexVfO
