I'm on the top deck of the bus which means, as always when on the top deck of the bus, I think of @LukeHaines_News

It's a new year which, obviously, means revisiting past glories which, perhaps not so obviously, means shouting out that Ten Short Songs For Modern Lovers by @AidanJohnMoffat is the greatest nine minute album you'll ever hear

[Mark Landells @landells]

I'm not even "that" drunk but I've just asked for a Tanqueray and Vodka... To be fair that might be an alright drink

[Mark Landells @landells]

@GWRHelp You ever used the @GWRHelp complaints form, Ryan? Because none of the options available fit what I was complaining about. But GWR, the company, knows that cos they've designed the form to divert blame away from the company and to make folk get bored and give up complaining

[Mark Landells @landells]

Seriously @GWRHelp! Your 2033 out of Oxford is almost 30mins late but you can't be bothered to hold the 2114 from Didcot for even a couple of minutes meaning everyone waits at least 25mins for the next train. Shameful!

@reversediorama @phigster @GrahamEatough @pastels_the @Neil_Murray57 @annaorton @memorialdevice Oh! One of the problems with plays, films, TV shows about [spoiler] fictional bands is the music is usually rubbish but that is most certainly not the case with This Is Memorial Device, so much so that I've just pre-ordered the soundtrack from Monorail

@reversediorama @phigster @GrahamEatough @pastels_the @Neil_Murray57 @annaorton @memorialdevice Caught the matinee yesterday. Loved it. Great writing, staging, acting and direction.

@bensantamaria @RiversideLondon @phigster Caught the matinee yesterday. I thought I'd enjoy it but was actually surprised just how much I enjoyed it

@paulspencer1973 @weddingpresent I'm seeing them in Bristol at the end of this month then Leeds at the start of October (with Half Man Half Biscuit in Sheffield the night before)

[Mark Landells @landells]

@paulspencer1973 @weddingpresent I love Take Me. It is one the best possible ways to pass (almost) ten minutes. I'm seeing the Wedding Present at least twice this year and one of those gigs will definitely feature Take Me as it's on the Bizarro 35th anniversary tour. Sorry you are/were feeling down

@hopheaddarrell Sssssshhhh... it's not really fizzy, I'm just pretending so I can pretend it is sobering me up 😂

[Mark Landells @landells]

I'm at that level of semi-drunk where I think, after a few pints of cask, a pint of fizzy keg will freshen me back up 😂

[Mark Landells @landells]

Despite having it on compact disc for many many years I am stupidly happy that today I bought The Faust Tapes on "UK original LP" vinyl

[Mark Landells @landells]

@BeckyWhin Just played The Snake by Al Wilson. Bought a third pint.

[Mark Landells @landells]

Only planned on having a swift one in this pub but when the stereo is playing Sly & The Family Stone, Funkadelic, Gil Scott-Heron, et al you gotta stay for at least a second pint

[Mark Landells @landells]

@HarrySword It's an eternal disappointment that there has never been, as far as I'm aware, a free jazz combo called The Eiger Sanction Section

[Mark Landells @landells]

@EggingtonMagoo Hard agree. Everything is better when good music is involved.

[Mark Landells @landells]

I love Home Again by the Auteurs on New Wave but after Early Years it almost sounds like an extra free bonus track... But, actually, I kinda think it's Early Years that doesn't belong... Ah, fuck it, in New Wave @LukeHaines_News as created possibly the greatest debut of all time
