There was no music where I was @pavvers but the guy supervising those who had to wait for 15 minutes was wearing a David Crosby hat

Went out for a drive yesterday. It was fine. Met a charming young lady who STABBED ME IN THE ARM.

So, I’ve had the vaccine. The charming young lady told me that I was very brave.

That it happened at ‘The Home of the World Darts Championship’ is neither here nor there

I’m now looking at pictures of Pop stars from 1969 to try and rationalise my Pandemic haircut. I’m going with Scott Walker but he’s too damn pretty

@codonnell_Times @pavvers Chris’ big sister, Maria had it. She also had Meaty, Beaty Big and Bouncy, the Beatles 1966 compilation and at least one of the red/ blue 70s compilations. Plus she was into Siouxie. In many ways, it’s all her fault

[Jon Pavitt @pavvers]

@JimMelly I love that song. I remember buying it in a sweet shop in Plumstead that had a box of singles on the counter.

[Jim Melly @JimMelly]

I give you - the greatest Indie single ever released:

Jefferson Airplane released 'After Bathing at Baxter's' 53 years ago today. Here's a look back at 12 of the group's essential songs https://t.co/rGPyIwbRGL

@LauraLeeDavies @BBCRadio4 My PhD supervisor actually knew him and she pronounced it ‘De-heed-a'

[Jim Melly @JimMelly]

Jefferson Airplane were doing the mad stuff way before the Velvet Underground got their shit together

This is what happens when you have a government led by people whose only expertise is the ability to write undergraduate essays for cash

[Jim Melly @JimMelly]

The theme music to BBC Radio’s ‘Sports Report’ should be the national anthem

[Virgil van Dijk @VirgilvDijk]

Unity is strength

[Jim Melly @JimMelly]

It’s very good @codonnell_Times

[Jon Pavitt @pavvers]

@JimMelly Yep it was me. T shirts are in the loft.

[Jim Melly @JimMelly]

Man, you should write this down. People would be interested in ‘how stuff actually got done’ rather than yet another ‘then we got stoned and recorded another cover of ‘Killing Floor’' music autobiography

[Fred Long @Catfordkid]

@JimMelly Yup. 67 Brook St, Mayfair.
There's a Bee Gees plaque saying they lived there; they didn't, RSO Records did.
Clapton as well. I was Cream's last roadie until they reformed for that one-off. I moved the 1969 farewell gig stage gear from Bishops after the 5 yr rental finished in 74

[Jim Melly @JimMelly]

@Catfordkid That’s cool. Was that with Robert Stigwood?

[Jim Melly @JimMelly]

@Catfordkid @pavvers Haha! He also said, ‘What about that time you raided my house and I hid behind the coffee table and you missed me?’ Mate, they’ll be round your house at 6am tomorrow. Set your alarm

[Jim Melly @JimMelly]

Just watched a man shout at two police officers, ‘I’ve been arrested in every part of this country and you are the stupidest coppers I ever met.’ He didn’t look like a climate-change protestor

[Jim Melly @JimMelly]

@pavvers Didn’t look bright enough to do up a scarf
