Felt very much yesterday how I felt when I was abandoned in the early summer of '99 by a now-famous Plath scholar. It happened in Washington DC and my only refuges were bookshops, the National Gallery of Art and nature. Get yourself back, then proceed...

I won't be on here tomorrow for obvious reasons. Good night, and good luck:

NEW: Good news for Londoners, visitors and businesses: the planned tube strikes for this Thursday and next week have been suspended. This shows the difference that engaging with our trade unions makes.

@_Traviata Hope the sun rises tomorrow and you know what I mean by that.

Transcendent. Music written on the 159 bus on the way home from Ronnie Scott's to Streatham, and performed by a saxophonist whom my father knew #Lambeth #Glasgow

music is emotional…it hits the nerve or it passes you by…starless and bible black by The Stan Tracey Quartet…is beyond beautiful to me…the second you are pulled in…you are not coming out…the minimal atmosphere and the mist without algorithms…the slow intimacy of the piano and the saxophone…the dialogue and interplay between the double bass and the drums…the delicious ecstasy of melancholy…

I am devastated and heart broken over the loss of Quincy Jones. He changed music and with that he changed the world. He inducted Public Enemy into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. He is already greatly missed. And he is even more loved. My deepest sympathies to his family. 🙏🏾

Folklore then. Taylor Swift's 8th album is brilliant. That's it. I don't have much else to add. It stands up to almost anything I've heard this century yet could come from 30, 40, 50 years ago. I'm not going to tell you all "you must hear this". I'm just so glad I found it.

@WhenIsBirths In 1969 I was watching Jazz 625 with Ronnie Scott on BBC2, which one week featured the Mike Westbrook Orchestra (with John Surman) performing Metropolis about 18 months before it was recorded. Maybe I was just a weird five-year-old...

[DJ Punctum @DPunctum]

@WhenIsBirths We're hibernating and keeping well away from all news tomorrow. It's the only way we're going to stay sane.

[DJ Punctum @DPunctum]

@WhenIsBirths They'd have to borrow the wind-up gramophone from the Garrick Club to do that.

[DJ Punctum @DPunctum]

@Stanley_Bad Not sure, but there was a movie starring Anthony Quinn which always used to be on BBC2's Afternoon Matinee on a Saturday:

@MarkSGrout OK, will do; pls remind me if I forget!

[DJ Punctum @DPunctum]

This morning on Radio 3 they're wondering if we'll be dancing around the bonfire tonight. I've never seen anybody do this in my life, what kind of world do they think we inhabit, are they on drugs?

[DJ Punctum @DPunctum]

Maybe on Radio 2 just now they're also talking about dancing around the bonfire with your besties to uplifting chart entries by ELO or Steps.

[DJ Punctum @DPunctum]

@_Traviata Wonder what Hilary M would have made of Larry Blackmon: "interesting red codpiece, which does put one in mind of the Earl of Essex..."

[DJ Punctum @DPunctum]

@liddle_the @_paullay Why are more people not withholding their licence fee? The argument in favour of it diminishes on a near-daily basis now.

Quincy Jones advice to Kendrick Lamar

[DJ Punctum @DPunctum]

@liddle_the @hairygit Bryan Ferry on Private Passions yesterday lunchtime talking about liking music that might be "too heavy for this show." I remember when John Bird was on the show and picked Stockhausen.

[DJ Punctum @DPunctum]

@liddle_the @hairygit Every fricking BBC music station is like this now. R2, R1, 6Music, the lot. All intent on getting rid of their entire demographic in favour of one, narrow and probably non-existent demographic which exists only in their miniscule minds.

[DJ Punctum @DPunctum]

I don't want to go all Alan Green on this but actually yes I do. This is like gobbing on Radio 3. Also, who the hell wants to "unwind" at six in the morning? Night shift workers?

[RadioToday UK @RadioToday]

BBC Radio 3 Unwind launches on BBC Sounds this morning, Monday 4th November at 6am with presenters including Edith Bowman and AFRODEUTSCHE. https://t.co/v0YwN9iiXZ
