Channelling the King of Sparta with @boys_nicholas of @createstreets

@DainFitzgerald Yes, that has been my experience. Optimised for reality rather than dreams

@LambLex Extraordinary. It really is a mythic place.

Clyde Foot Tunnel - one of the most dystopian places in Glasgow, where you have to contact the control centre to exit.

@Refugee5411 Thank you! I actually feel safer with the control centre - at least they have a basic idea of who is in there

@verdur_in No invite to Glasgow International?

@LambLex @hueandcry @boardsofcanada Thanks to this reply, I have now learnt about this intriguing song from their 2022 album https://t.co/eDzqk6itBa

[Neil Scott @MrNeilScott]

Two Scottish brothers have a long-awaited new album out today, featuring their latest experiments in electronic music.

But that’s enough about @hueandcry, has anyone heard the new @boardsofcanada?

[Neil Scott @MrNeilScott]

After listening @wself be cantankerous everywhere else, it is a relief to hear this genial chat with @GylesB1.

Never heard the infamous John Major plane scandal described in such detail before.

@skulthorp @TheCriticMag Doesn’t quite go full Ballard but almost:

“air-conditioned malls, whose aerosolised aftershave pumped into this sudden desolation gave less the impression of a dying civilisation than a down-season Butlins for unemployed high-class prostitutes and overworked corporate lawyers.”

[Neil Scott @MrNeilScott]

@tours_talk Of course! It was right behind me all the time

[Neil Scott @MrNeilScott]

Whenever I read Jeremiads against the phone like that of @wself, I wonder what JG Ballard would do with the subject.

“Before the Queen became fully enclosed within her own serene constitutional unreality, she slept with piles of tabloids and society magazines beside her bed, marked with Post-it notes by attendants so she could leaf through and contemplate her own visibility.”

A short dramatisation of the scene in Martin Amis's Money where John Self (Mel Smith) and Martin Amis (Martin Amis) bump into each other at lunch.
