@BoylanRoger I hope to go there someday. So many great writers buried in Switzerland - Borges, Joyce, Mann…

@avuguraslan I also believe Federer essentially lost the 2019 final during this tournament. When he failed to dispatch Anderson it set up the Isner/Anderson serve-fest, which led to the fifth set tiebreaker change, which ultimately sealed his fate the following year.

The average British salary should be £65,000.
It's £34,000.
Fifty years of political failure.
One plan to fix it.

MOVIN’ ON UP (by Primal Scream)

A gospel-stomp built around the quick chord changes of the ‘Bo Diddley beat’, while the solo, like everything from guitarist ‘Throb’, the epitome of rock ‘n’ roll https://t.co/tHS9emyxEb

DAMAGED (by Primal Scream)

‘Screamadelica’ may have been a radical, indie-dance reinvention, but there were still plenty of the band’s retro rock flourishes. This solo (played by bassist Henry Olsen) cycling Stonesy repeating licks through several octaves https://t.co/vtTQLjIUbE

@SandyMcD_SDP Well done for standing! Getting the ‘brand’ in the public eye is the main thing to build on for now.

@NickDixon It's interesting hearing Nick's sister Gabrielle talk about him, she was/is a working actress and felt he should have persevered more for career success ('showbiz is tough etc...'). But I imagine Nick aimed for perfection, so wanted something more magical, instantaneous perhaps.

“It’s not the first time in history artists have faced oppression and it won’t be the last.
We should support each other, come together and defend our shared space, our territory, the place where imagination can roam free.
Because if they come for one of us they will eventually come for all. “

Her quintessential Ballard picks? ‘The Terminal Beach’, ‘The Crystal World’, ‘Super-Cannes’.

@incontextfed A great 'what-if' would be Federer managing to get through to the Roland Garros final in 2004 against Coria (to be fair he would have had to beat Nalbandian also, an early nemesis)

As a footnote to Physical Graffiti, I thought you might like to hear the original home demo, recorded in my studio at Plumpton Place of a piece of music that was going to surface as 10 Years Gone.

I presented this rough mix to the band at Headley Grange in order to do this for real. Robert Plant came up with some lyrics for my music that were extraordinary and then we arrive at the song 10 Years Gone.

On this day 30 years ago Lush released their 4th and final studio album “Lovelife”.

For me this is their best album with its fantastic Britpop sound.

What’s your favourite track?

[Ed Dampier 📚🎼 @eddampier]

@Britpopmemories @lushbandtweets I love ‘500’ - sparkling sixties guitar chimes. ‘Single Girl’ and ‘Last Night’ are also fantastic tracks.

Just covered a few of the solos from the album https://t.co/OO8OlV4PHz
