@prodnose C’mon you know it’s Physical 2 3 4 1

@NPortnell Entirely new to me too but loving what I'm hearing and yes we've got to keep #musictwitter alive. God knows we're going to need it in the weeks to come

@Michael1979 5. Helping you compile the Stats

@JoeBanksWriter I refer you to my previous post on regret…

[Simon Platt @simonpplatt]

@JoeBanksWriter Great article even if it has taken me 11 years to read it! I can never believe Red Sun is only four minutes long. It’s an epic that feels like it should take over an entire side. Not seeing them live is one of my all-time gig regrets.

[Simon Platt @simonpplatt]

@JoeBanksWriter Oh god yes!

@Birmingham_81 Jaws dropped when Dean ripped out his first solo

[Simon Platt @simonpplatt]

@JoeBanksWriter @theQuietus @fieldmusicmusic Measure remains my favourite album of theirs but they’ve a remarkably high hit rate across their career

[Simon Platt @simonpplatt]

@JDBeauvallet Only ever had a cheap CD version of this so looking forward to a proper deluxe version

[Simon Platt @simonpplatt]

@Birmingham_81 Vividly remember watching this at the time and rushed out to buy their Good and Gone EP the next day

@petepaphides Inverness by the late Scott Miller’s wondrous Loud Family may or may not be about the Scottish town but it’s a cracking song nonetheless

[Simon Platt @simonpplatt]

@Birmingham_81 Glorious indeed. That got me going this morning

[Simon Platt @simonpplatt]

@Birmingham_81 Was privileged to see him in Edinburgh’s Usher Hall in 2012. It was a truly humbling and emotional experience. He was frail in body but his voice and spirit soared.

@Birmingham_81 @W_A_F_R Quifftastic!

[Simon Platt @simonpplatt]

@Birmingham_81 @W_A_F_R Wow. How can I never have heard this before?!

[Simon Platt @simonpplatt]

@petepaphides Especially given that the band seemed to have disregarded Fables (my personal favourite of theirs)

[Simon Platt @simonpplatt]

@rocking_bob Loved Mike Pratt’s work since watching Randall & Hopkirk as a kid. Hugely underrated actor and (news to me) a songwriter too!

[Simon Platt @simonpplatt]

@StillHonest Forgotten all about this band. Bought their 94 album back in the day. Time for a revisit

[Simon Platt @simonpplatt]

@Birmingham_81 Was at the Edinburgh Playhouse show. First time I’d seen them but they were electric. Loved the Blue Aeroplanes too and their joint guitar-assault encore
