I’ve been developing the “Pitiless Hearst Gate” for Hitiloma’s set with NAT# at Acid Horse… Needs less pity.

Neil Tennant telling John Doran that 'Taylor Swift is the Mrs Thatcher of pop' in his Vice interview is Top Ten Burns in musical history.

A paperback publication day selfie with Men At War! I suppose this is the end of four years of research, writing, editing on this project, which is always an odd feeling. I hope I have done right by the memories of all the people I wrote about who gave so much in the war years

I wish I was 1/3 of my age so I could go and stage dive at a Wu-Lu show. To anyone thinking, 'Ugh, who stage dives anymore?' or 'It's not that sort of music...' What's the actual point of being 17 if not to ignore what everyone else thinks...

#Brighton ! Like John Doran? Like the #AphexTwin ? Or maybe just the Cornish?

Stoked to have been asked to write for the iconic The Quietus about the equally iconic Festival of my childhood - cowboy hats and warm scrumpy at the ready, we're off to Elephant Fayre x #Cornwall thequietus.com/articles/34085…

I got swept off the base of a cliff by a wave in Lanzarote last week, breaking my glasses in the process and am 'getting by' with a really old pair of readers. Legit thought this was Radiohead and was really impressed with how much vim and vigour they were displaying.
