Beautiful words. Nailed it. Long live Trev Radiator x

[The Murder Capital @MurderCapital_]

Some memories and a few words on our friend Trev.

All my love to everyone who is feeling the shock of losing him. Imagine we didn’t even plan those outfits. Immense. RIP Trev.

@ZzVvbbbbn Bit rich from coming from an anonymous account pal.

[Sid Lowe @sidlowe]

That moment when he sees there’s no support, shrugs and goes “ok then I’ll be Maradona”. Absolutely glorious,

[Éamon Sweeney @swench]

One of the greatest album opening tracks of all time came out today. I’m in absolute shock over how mind blowing this is. Elvis has left the building…

[Sleaford Mods @sleafordmods]

You can’t argue with Fontaines. It’s not entirely everyone’s cuppa, but you can’t say they haven’t completed the work. The only band for years to have also convinced the masses to have their haircuts. That’s hard to do.

@OdohertyI64991 @DexysOfficial I think they’re over in the Autumn. Bizarrely, I once saw them play the Irish Embassy in London and made Ferraro Rocher Ambassador’s reception jokes with Kevin Rowland.

@abrahamson_ed Pathetic.

@MickPuck Coincidentally, I’m listening to him right now on an old episode of Desert Island Discs.

[Oasis Planet @OasisPlanet_]

On this day in 1993, Alan McGee signed Oasis after seeing them perform at King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut in Glasgow.

And the rest is history...

[Manic Street Preachers @Manics]

The band now play the venue on October 22 and October 21. Tickets on sale this Friday, May 29.

[Richard Osman @richardosman]

Your reminder that if West Ham are relegated today, then next season will be the first season in the entire 138-year history of the English top flight without a team beginning with the letter W.

@beauti_animals Looks like Bath to me.

[Éamon Sweeney @swench]

First went on a Rovers away trip and have been back. Terrific and underrated city.

[металлшлюха @Metaalhoer]

I'm an absolute tit. I live 15km from Ghent Been to loads of gigs there mostly in the dark of night. First time there in broad daylight. Fucking astounding place.The whole city is full of astounding buildings. Do yourself a favour and book a holiday in Ghent
Fuck Brugge and their expensive prices. Ghent is 10 times better

[Éamon Sweeney @swench]

@JeremyTate41 Spon Street in Coventry also very well preserved and home to the fantastic Old Windmill pub.

@senhormorris @Manics @hayfestival Love the review. Nicky gave a great quote recently about how A Design for Life was a reaction against Britpop’s “Benny Hillification” of the working classes. I immediately thought of the Country House video when I read that!
