Idlewild have long been one of Britain’s very best bands. I spoke with them as they released first album in six years (it’s quite wonderful).

“…around that time [of 100 Broken Windows] I was unselfconscious. If I was reading a book by Gertrude Stein or on postmodernism, I would put it in a song. I wouldn’t really do that now. I would be more guarded.’’ — Roddy Woomble

Read on for stories on performing ‘Sweet Home Alabama’ with REM, their ‘succinct’ new album, why 100 Broken Windows and Warnings/Promises are Roddy’s favourites from their previous work, and much more.

@TomGaymor @LeeADeighton @metpoliceuk Excellent thread, Tom. Too few people realise (care?) what we have to do.

Speaking.

[Susie Dent @susie_dent]

Word of the day is ‘matutolypea’: extreme grumpiness in the morning.

From the Latin ‘Matuta’, Roman goddess of the dawn, and the Greek ‘lype’, ‘grief’. Put them together and you get ‘morning grief’.

One thing that I will never tell my son is how me and his father both audibly sighed when he came out ginger.
