Be still my beating heart @horrorsofficial on @laurenlaverne @BBC6Music 'Still Life' too - double happiness in North Shields.

‘Paul Auster was an anomaly: a thoroughly warm, witty, sympathetic, laughter-loving individual, with insatiable intellectual curiosity and a gift for friendship; at the same time, he was a monumental literary presence.’

Paul Auster remembered by Ian McEwan, Joyce Carol Oates and more.

Murky memories of sweaty nights - Hacienda bound. Thanks for the nostalgia trip @BBC6Music @laurenlaverne

How lovely to hear The La's 'There she Goes' on @BBC6Music this morning. Very Springy kind of song imho. However, does have that terrible sub-text which we won't talk about.

Hats off to @laurenlaverne @BBC6Music - nobody plays The Doors on the wireless these days and they really, really should. Set up for the old Friday now!

[Paula Fitzpatrick @niceglasses]

Quite.

Second all this. The silences are astonishing too. Whole thing utterly superb

[Paula Fitzpatrick @niceglasses]

Not getting a lot of work done this dull morning in Shields due to @BBC6Music and @laurenlaverne with her cloudbusting bangers. Few calories burnt though with bit of chair dancing. Not a pretty sight.

I don't think I've every felt so sickened by the absolutely shameful non-acceptance of the in your face racism and misogyny of Frank Hester's words. Had to be chased into accepting it was indeed both those things. Get out, stay out.

[Ian Dunt @IanDunt]

These are just words with no meaning. They break the very idea of logic. How in the name of God can it not be to do with race or gender when those are precisely the things he mentioned. Just utterly bizarre.

Wonderful Young Fathers on @BBC6Music @laurenlaverne - saw them @BoilerShopNCL - absolute scenes.

[Paula Fitzpatrick @niceglasses]

Remembering when Kings of Leon were, well, memorable - 'Charmer' @BBC6Music @laurenlaverne

[Paula Fitzpatrick @niceglasses]

Oh yes, @laurenlaverne @BBC6Music Frank Ocean, 'Super Rich Kids' hitting all the right notes in the right order this morning.

[Paula Fitzpatrick @niceglasses]

Fulsome and fitting tribute to the talent Shane MacGowan on @laurenlaverne @BBC6Music Such a talent, such a poet.

[Paula Fitzpatrick @niceglasses]

Swoosh....back to my very much younger days courtesy of @BBC6Music @laurenlaverne and bloomin' Tenpole Tudor 'Swords of a Thousand Men'. Well, I can cope with anything now.

[Paula Fitzpatrick @niceglasses]

The Doors on @BBC6Music @laurenlaverne - a rare outing on the radio and so welcome amongst the snow here in North Shields:

[Paula Fitzpatrick @niceglasses]

Such a talent and influence. Always loved The Isley Brothers RIP Rudolph Isley. Gorgeous tribute on @BBC6Music @laurenlaverne
