Music & Times op-eds constitute my world. Hastening the downfall of Howard Davies was my apogee and my abyss.
Festina lente. #militantlysensible

On the blog: Centrist dad encounters #Shellac after 7-year itch. What could go wrong? https://t.co/TCICtSVekr

Woah, nearly forgot - yesterday was #princetweetingaboutfieldmusicday Hope you all had a great one!

I’ll never forget when Fire left Earth, Wind And Fire to team up with Third Party and Theft, eschewing the music business for a new venture in the world of insurance.

@Hot_Chip Got into the presale but it immediately showed up as "tickets unavailable". What's up?

[Sachin Patel @misplacedswag]

Damn it. Found it - Rooftop Cafe - but it's since closed. No matter.

[Sachin Patel @misplacedswag]

@gilescoren I know you hate these requests, but I recall you raved about a casual restaurant near the News Building where I think you went for a workday lunch. Do you remember the joint?

[Sachin Patel @misplacedswag]

@KermodeMovie Have you heard the news from N2? The Phoenix is under threat of being taken over by Curzon. Would love to hear your penny's worth!

[Sachin Patel @misplacedswag]

@villunderlondon Are you announcing set times for Dirty Projectors tonight? (And here's hoping for a cameo from @arze on sax.)

[Sachin Patel @misplacedswag]

@TheO2 what time does the Sam Harris event start tonight? And what time do doors open? Ta.

[Sachin Patel @misplacedswag]

I've now heard Crazy P's "Like A Fool" in a hipster pub in Shoreditch, and a suburban inn in Mill Hill. These are, truly, blessed times. Especially for bands with self-censored names.

Been thinking a lot recently about the intersection of #newwave and #nowave. Relevant listening, collected in this playlist: https://t.co/7pAI7ygcFj

Everything about this piece. So measured, heartfelt, and worth your time.
"Maybe all trailblazers live to disappoint." What a lesson to take into the weekend! https://t.co/OSsJJUzPVU

[The Times and Sunday Times @thetimes]

The misjudgments of Roseanne Barr and Germaine Greer show that when originality fades, only a giant ego remains, writes @VictoriaPeckham https://t.co/lQqpfiZctc

[Sachin Patel @misplacedswag]

https://t.co/6Zd13gem3l Just remember, it was @lcdsoundsystem that persuaded #LeoVaradkar to offer full-throated support for #RepealTheEighth. Honest, guv. #changeyrmind

[Sachin Patel @misplacedswag]

https://t.co/SlFiGzag0L Anyone who thinks The Times is the voice of the establishment clearly hasn't read @VictoriaPeckham on #RepealTheEighth or Matthew Parris on Tessa Jowell. Praiseworthy prose.

I hope I've earned the right to say this, in relation to Tortoise LPs: #Overrated Standards, #Underrated Beacons Of Ancestorship. Shoot me. #postrock

[Sachin Patel @misplacedswag]

https://t.co/O0UE1QiMtg Just a beautiful review, of two beautiful bands, playing beautiful and savage music. #LCDvsYYY

[Sachin Patel @misplacedswag]

I know they're both busy guys, fighting the good fight, but I'd love to hear @SamHarrisOrg on @nick_clegg's podcast. Both have so much to say about reason vs emotion, anger and mendacity, and perhaps Jonathan Haidt. Let's make it happen!

if Mandy Richards remains a Labour Parliamentary candidate with tweets like this then I’m beyond words

…and then I get told on the doorstep by a @BarnetMomentum activist that there's no #Antisemitism in Labour. Shameful, or blind to reality.
