After a very long journey, with the help of a team of expert clinicians & scientists, the support of our friends, family, & colleagues, and the kindness of an anonymous altruistic egg donor, we’d like to introduce Alfie Williams-Edwards & Charlie Williams-Edwards, born on 3 Dec.

@CheeseJacket How's he enjoying Brisbane?

[Ed @jxe520]

Have been doing a few interviews. First up, Jim Reid from JAMC. These days he resides just down the road from where I'm from, which is probably the most exciting thing to happen to East Devon for a while.

Equivalent of £16 in today's prices. You'd probably pay more to buy a second hand copy from 1982. Saw a copy of Neil Young's Harvest in JB Hi-fi in Brisbane yesterday going for A$140, more than £73. I mean it's good, but who'd pay that for it?

New Musical Express, 27 February 1982.

@nothingelseon Amazing work, it's been awesome, thanks for doing it. So many memories but also so much great writing and fantastic photography by people who just did this week after week. Wish there was more like it these days.

@CheeseJacket Where's he going?

[Ed @jxe520]

@captainfez Recently read The Bee Sting by Paul Murray. Booker shortlist. $16 from Big W. 650 pages, at times I just wanted it to end. Googled to get an explanation of the ending and realised a fairly minor character was more important and the book was secretly a weird folk horror book.

Gutted about the Zoo closing. My favourite venue in Brisbane. Back in about 2010, when I was photographing for Rave, I spent 30 nights there in a calendar year when I photographed 75 shows.

@joannajnilson Your eyes won't stop rolling when you google the author of the piece.

This was a fun day. Zoom call with Lydia Lunch in her kitchen in Brooklyn the morning, Zoom call with Glen Matlock in his kitchen in London in the evening.

[Collapse Board @collapseboard]

Ahead of playing at #Pandemonium with @BlondieOfficial, we talked to @GlenMatlock to discuss playing in Blondie, his time as an art school student and his experiences of being a Sex Pistol.

@joannajnilson Splendour helped make its owners very rich, probably even without the Live Nation buy in. It's weird that the reaction is "the government needs to put money in" as surely, at least in this case, it makes it "capitalise the profits, socialise the losses"

[Ed @jxe520]

@joannajnilson @4zzzradio I got blacklisted by splendour PR back in 2011 for daring to write about this! The PR blamed me for that year's festival headlined by Kanye, Jane's Addiction and Coldplay not selling out!

[Ed @jxe520]

Good times at The Damned last night. That Rat Scabies/Paul Gray rhythm section ruled. As good as that first album is, they're so underrated for what they did afterwards, at least for another four albums.

Did another talking thing

[Collapse Board @collapseboard]

Ahead of the @tfs_theband’s first live dates in a year, we talked to the band's Erica Dunn about being a music obsessive, how she got into playing music and her experiences of joining and playing in TFS.

Some photos from Wednesday at the Powerhouse. Great show, shame about the photos! Haven't photographed there for a while, forgot it's a difficult place to photograph in.

[Collapse Board @collapseboard]

We phototgraphed @_MichaelRother_ and Friends play the music of Neu! at the Ohm Festival at @Bris_Powerhouse, with Panghalina supporting.

Wrote some words about this year's Laneway experience. There are typos, I'm too lazy to go back and correct them (because when you do it in this format, it's a real pain) https://t.co/0qnENODpst
