A rare bit of self promo: I've been doing a radio show for the last year on a local station and it's been loads of fun. I've also devised the most "Me" feature, where I ask musicians to talk about a memorable place and pick a song. Here's an archive:

@CrossCountryUK Hi, I was booked onto the 07:40 Newcastle to Darlington. Can I take the LNER at 9:58?

@fishplums Big vibes

Halfback passes to centre! Back to wing! Back to centre!

Centre holds it! Holds it! HOLDS it!!

@SustainableTall I live in a 19th c. building that basically has one of these - a few neighbours put plants in it and one lets their cat out there but otherwise it isn’t accessible. But it does mean my kitchen has a window and natural light ☺️

@lf_p I did a tour a little while ago, they were about halfway through cleaning the stone on the Carliol facade and the difference was so so noticeable!

Very briefly out of retirement to highlight my local council doing banging work on the old Twitter dot com here. Absolutely sassy champs 🫡

Today we proudly raised the rainbow flag at Newcastle's Civic Centre, standing in solidarity with LGBTIQA+ communities and against homophobia, transphobia, and biphobia. 🌈#LGBTQIA+

@NewcastleCC As an actual local resident, rather than an anonymous sock puppet account here to spread hate, I would like to thank you for standing up - over and over here - for one of the most marginalised groups in the country. Proud to live here right now ❤️

@thomasforth My first job was working on the phones for an inner London borough’s bin department. Got exposed to an incredible cross section of society - rich, poor, born here, born elsewhere, old, young - unified by the fact they all really cared about getting their bins collected. Humbling.

Here’s my latest radio show, with a guest spot from @mtmiseryband, plus new and recent music from @Tanukichanmusic, @fieldmusicmusic, @jeanines_nyc, @soundcarriers and a bunch more.

Absolutely fantastic thread. Endless consultation. Very little action.

[space for gosforth @space4gosforth]

We will share some thoughts on this in a week or so. In the meantime here’s a 🧵on @NewcastleCC transport consultations.

Hint: we need more action more than we need more consultation.

[Daniel Fawcett @fawced]

@iggigg Yes on the prawns, truly horrible

[Daniel Fawcett @fawced]

@mixlrfever Ah I missed this was happening! Hope you had fun. Is there another one soon?

[Daniel Fawcett @fawced]

I went for a run in Leazes Park last night. There’s a loud contingent of football fans who are, once again, insisting it’s run down and in poor state. Meanwhile, those of us who actually live near it and use it on a regular basis are just out, enjoying a beautiful autumn evening.

[Daniel Fawcett @fawced]

@MarekBidwell @whickhamrobbie @neheritagelib Thank you. This is my experience as well. I live nearby and use it regularly, and so - clearly if you go there - so do lots of other people.

[Daniel Fawcett @fawced]

@neheritagelib I live in the city centre and it’s a vital green space for an area with an increasing population. The constant comments about it being “run down” don’t track with my experience as a regular user and frankly just sound like consent manufacturing for a land grab.

[Daniel Fawcett @fawced]

I had to cross this road, which might not look much but funnelled traffic from a whole side of Luton to the M1.

And the only crossing was 2-3 minutes in the wrong direction, so we’d usually just wait for a gap and run. Lol cool

[Daniel Fawcett @fawced]

I enjoyed this new video by Type Ashton https://t.co/PemuhKrYXQ - obviously US infrastructure is always on the extreme end but it made me think a lot about my own walks to school.

[the x files ! @scullyxf]

today marks the 31st anniversary of the x files

[Daniel Fawcett @fawced]

@dorkusmalorkus_ Lots of good points already made here but I would like to add: performative ways of justifying to yourself that it’s the sane choice to spend $4000 a month to live in a closet above a bowling alley and below another bowling alley.

[Daniel Fawcett @fawced]

@PerilousWood Ohhh gotcha. Literally no thought ever goes into this tourist garbage so I wouldn’t credit them with trying to make a pun!

[Daniel Fawcett @fawced]

AI slop 🤝 Edinburgh tourist slop

[Daniel Fawcett @fawced]

@PerilousWood It’s a Celtic strip (or at lest resembles one) so I assume it’s meant to be that.
