Unlike Ed Sheeran, say.

I started listening to it but I couldn’t beyond the opening few lines. It was just an old guy talking in an unappealing, gurgling way. I can listen to his classic albums anytime and they are enough for me. I don’t […]

You were clearly a lad insane. *acknowledges cheers* I think David Live has a lot going for it, Earl Slicks’s contributions are outstanding. His solo on Moonage Daydream really takes off.

Another One Bites The Dust
I Will Follow

This is really strange situation. Trump getting elected was a real WTF the moment that I still find hard to believe is true, but this is something else entirely. Is this actually happening? I listen to music and […]

Twitter’s always been OK for me. I follow selectively. I don’t post either, or next to nothing. Last time was when I’d had a few drinks and wrote something to Robert Peston regarding his reporting of a govt […]

Hmm…Disorder. Not really a fun game this. Discomfort music anyone?

Our life is relatively normal here because we both continue to work and see our workmates as usual and because of the ‘situation’ that feels wrong. It feels like more should be done, more testing especially. If we […]

Afterworders will be thrilled and delighted to know that Charlie XCX will be live streaming tonight. Live streaming performances being the gig alternative for a self distancing world. Bounce!

Hard to fight an invisible enemy which doesn’t seem be causing any great harm to any one we know, right now. It probably should be thought of like boarding up the windows in readiness for the cyclone that’s on […]

*extra supplies of Andrex were seized for urgent needs.

I don’t think the further clamping down is part of a master strategy, it’s because they shat* themselves when they saw the report this tweet refers to and summarises:

We can now read the Imperial College report on COVID-19 that led to the extreme measures we've seen in the US this week. Read it; it's terrifying. I'll offer a summary in this thread; please correct me if I've gotten it wrong.https://t.co/AwE2cHIbeJ

Actually I remenber a time when Bryan Ferry’s Boys and Girls album worked well. She put it on and it burbled away quite happily, as did the music. Don’t stop, don’t stop the…oh.

Brits stockpile toilet roll, Americans stockpile guns and the Dutch stockpile cannabis. This is true apparently, well all nations are stockpiling bog roll of course but it feels like a particularly British preoccupation.

6 plus 15 for ‘other needs’.

I don’t have to distance myself from people or stay at home to avoid strangers having unprotected sex with me. I know all the ladies want me but I just say no.

Three crackers for you.
Margaret Attwood’s The Blind Assassin is recommended. A tragic tale in some ways but brilliant, gripping and readable.
Gillian Flynn’s Gone Girl is a real page turning thriller. The […]

Early lockdown has worked. It is tried and tested. Delaying restrictions leads to catastrophe. The thinking is based on avoiding a huge peak that swamps hospitals and leaves staff with the awful choice of who […]

Trump approves of the UK approach. Says it all. Don’t do what is proven to work in other countries. Locking down as early as possible. An actual policy of letting it spread instead, while at the same time saying […]
