@Benefitstheband have produced a great record with 'Constant Noise' and I've produced a fair to middling review of it for the excellent @BeatsPerMinute

@jacobnrs_ @thecure It was amazing! My review of it is here: https://t.co/0lu2iQFwja

Off to catch the train to see @thecure tonight for maybe the 20th time - at 51, this is the **MOST** excited for a gig I've ever been. There will be tears.

[Todd Dedman @ToddDedman]

I've lived with this album on constant rotation for the last 3 weeks. To objectively review an album from @TheCure was super tricky.

I reviewed the outstanding new Belong record for @BeatsPerMinute

[Beats Per Minute @BeatsPerMinute]

"Belong's Realistic IX is a wonderful record on many levels, just don’t say it’s shoegaze"

Third anniversary yesterday since my mum died - seeing @suedeHQ play “She Still Leads Me On” last night was one of the most emotional and life-affirming things ever. Love that band.

Quite drunk. Got home and squashed a fly. Said out loud “Go tell your friends.” Would do it again.

[Todd Dedman @ToddDedman]

Managed to have the briefest of chats with Albini on two occasions. He seemed genuinely nice. Wasn’t up for my idea of a game of poker, though.

Got a @carlyraejepsen mug today from my students during their last lesson before study leave. These kids know me.

[Todd Dedman @ToddDedman]

@hotsalvation Seeing them tomorrow.

[Baba Yaga's Hut @byhut]

I don't care if Oasis or Coldplay played your venue. I care that you managed to support some weirdos playing to 10 people for years and managed to stay open.

Anyway rant over, apologies.

[Todd Dedman @ToddDedman]

@EighteenTweIVe @JDilla19 @LeeHurstComic Wash and Gone, surely

@hotsalvation London (if I can shake off the illness that’s knocked me sideways for two weeks)

@mikesbrowns @Jac5Connor @pobrecito In the books, it’s 12 years between Dune and Dune Messiah. Not sure Taylor-Joy can pass for 12 without it being super uncomfortable.
Just felt it was an entirely unnecessary moment in the film.

@yesitizess Welcome to parenthood

[Todd Dedman @ToddDedman]

Go buy “Where We Come From” by the wonderful @AniefiokEkp - it’s so much more than about grime and UK rap. Social history and the lived experiences of those on the margins of society in Britain today are documented with a focus few achieve in their writing. And he’s a top bloke.

[Aniefiok 'Neef' Ekpoudom @AniefiokEkp]

Thank you @FavershamLit ❤️

A proper joy to share the space with everyone who came through. Thank you @ToddDedman for the conversation 💫

First literature festival done!

[Todd Dedman @ToddDedman]

@AniefiokEkp That was great, Neef. Thank you so much!!

[Todd Dedman @ToddDedman]

Yeah, I was lucky enough to see #DunePart2 tonight but I will need to see it again. The scale of it is just off the hook. Rebecca Ferguson is mesmeric. Bardem, Chalamet and Zendaya are nothing but pure chemistry on screen. Visually stunning, epic in scope, cinema at its peak.
