'I'd give you a beer but I've only got the six.' Writing for Mojo, The Guardian, Mixmag and beyond. Detonate the cliché.

@jamesjammcmahon @ConorMcNicholas Oh dear, dear James. I’ll never forget tne first time we met. Seeing him walk around the NME office in a Sunderland shirt (he was a Donny Rovers fan but went to uni there). A champion for so many bands. Uncompromising. Inquisitive. And brilliant. Lovely words, @ConorMcNicholas. X

@AnthonyTeasdale Chapter & The Verse’s Aniff and Colin Thorpe worked on Voodoo Ray with Gerald (as seen on this live performance). Never need an excuse to be reminded of the brilliance of C&TV’s masterpiece, Black Whip. 1991. Where did the time go?

@poprecsltd Getting some serious Dr Feelgood vibes about this. Which is NEVER a bad thing.

@AnthonyTeasdale When I was seven my mum gave me a new duvet set she'd bought in Woking town centre. It featured a fabulous 70s graphic of two footballers. With LIVERPOOL FC underneath. 'But I'm a Sunderland fan, mum.' 'I know,' she said, 'but it's red & white so I thought "Same colours, yeah?"'

@Dorianlynskey For more on Dorothy Thompson, the new podcast series from Malcom Gladwell on ‘Hitler’s Olympics’ begins with an episode about Thompson’s Who Goes Nazi? article.

@bbcnewcastle Anyone know what time the Horse Punching Display begins?

@bordercommunity @MOJOmagazine @mrjamesholden Some wonderful records in the Mojo Electronica AOTY list – I could have named 30 or so rather than a top 10 this year – but there was never any doubt. Admired across the Mojo team. An album to immerse yourself in.

@PaulRogers73 @AM76Design Ha. And I wrote The Brotherhood one! 😀

@rcscribbler Yes, regularly. But then there's this…

Even better, Steve and Kavus mixed into it from Battles’ always enormous Atlas too… I nearly dropped my £7.85 pint of Camden IPA.

Before I start banging on about @blurofficial, a quick shout out to the DJ who dropped Talk Talk’s ‘Life’s What You Make It’ just before the band came on. ☕️

@spanky808 Growing up in the 70s we knew that the loudest group ever was The Who at The Valley in 1976.

Too young for that. But I think my ailing hearing has something to do with seeing KOD at the Subterrenea in Ladbroke Grove c1990. My ears rang for weeks.

@djhistory Another vote for the Bairro Alto here. Staying there in three weeks with our two boys, right next to the tram line. Taking in the Sporting game on the Sunday. Not been for years but love the place too.

@Nndroid They didn’t clear their station name with me. Where’s my lawyer?

“Football is… she's a cruel mistress. She's, she's more than a mistress, Clive. She's Qatari, she's Arabic, she's an African, she’s gay. She… she’s disabled. 'Cause football’s about nothing, nothing, unless it's about something and what it is about… is being a migrant worker.”

@Andr6wMale 'Southampton… [ELONGATED PAUSE]… Town' whenever listening to the football results or driving on the M3.

@lukeabbottmusic Ach, fully deserved. Been a doozy of a year though, ain’t it? Musically, that is.

@SWYW2021 @PaulPopplewell @itsrichwilliams Sorry. Been consciously uncoupling from Twitter a fair bit of late. Need to get my act – and team – together!
