An early contender for my album of the year (everything is alive) - Slowdive kicked off their NA tour in Toronto last night with a great set reaching back to 91. Lots of highlights including accidentally giving up our seated seats and making our way to the front 🤣 #slowdive

A great night with The National and Patti Smith at The Lake - with a well timed trip through the CNE for a bag of Tiny Tom donuts.. #thenational #pattismith

Take all my money @garbage - you're always welcome to tour Toronto exclusively - an electric set last night down by the lake.. #garbage

A beautiful night with The Cure in Toronto, supported by the wonderful Twilight Sad (who casually mentioned past gigs at Lee's Palace) - moved to tears when their cover of "keep yourself warm" by Frightened Rabbit..#TheCure #twilightsad

@PatNevin - a few mates were identifying the album covers on your wall - were stumped on the one next to Bowie. Please enlighten us! @monthewell65

Two of my favourite things in one product - I love being their target market.

Thanks to @tallpauluk for unlocking the vault and making 8 seasons of #MagnumPI available - Time has little to do with infinity and jelly donuts

@monthewell65 If Wrexham can have their own streaming special, so should Motherwell!

Skinny Puppy at History - a beautiful blend of music, theatre and storytelling, and most importantly, the type of show I was hoping for on their final tour. #skinnypuppy

@monthewell65 I think the win motivated you, but the celebratory beer MADE you do it :) - congrats on the result..
