No more delays, here’s my #AOTY #AOTY2023 list. 2023 felt like a slow start, and I’ve got less albums I feel passionately about than other years, but there’s still a few very special albums and a lot to spend more time with. Finally, big thanks to the #Discogs crew 🤘 1/x

Was this GP struck off just because he asked a Muslim woman to remove her veil? How likely does that sound? 🤷‍♀️ Did he actually ask her to remove her veil 'because he was struggling to understand her?' Let's take a look at what really happened based on the tribunal reports... 🧵 1/25

It would be honourable for @danny__kruger to call a by-election. Your new leader @Nigel_Farage says so.

@baj1983 File under “nice problems to have”. 🙂

@thejavan Trying to rank it. 10 albums in, I'd probably have it 6th or 7th. They're just so consistent.

Right, not much planned today. Time to get my ears acquainted with this new Deftones record. Thoughts will follow.

@baj1983 This is a very fair take. One I agree with.

Had it on repeat. It's great. Some are calling it a masterpiece, it's not. However, it's another very good Deftones record. Better than their last two, I reckon. 30 years in and still making stuff this strong. What a band. Roll on that tour.

@BryMisery @ATGFestival Shall be setting off tomorrow morning!

And so it begins. This is where @ATGFestival starts for me. 450 miles to Tewkesbury!! Let's go!!

#50YC #50YearsCollection 1996 Day 1 Load - Metallica Screw all the haters, I love this album. Dark & full of riffs, I still listen to this fairly often. Song - The House Jack Built youtu.be/4W6Ygt78KR0?si…

@Jericho_TM666 @JayAtkins66 @IBoyd1966 @stevechapman65 @gallopi57349837 @stevesmy69 @Sinister_Ruin @TheLeesterLee It’s an amazing album. Hetfield’s best lyrical turn.

@Bookishcrick @lisalovescheese Just ordered All Fours by Miranda July. Been meaning to pick that up for my wife for a while. Have a great weekend!

I don’t suppose anybody would like to buy a book tonight. I’m stressing about big bills week, it’s not getting any easier and lately I’ve been wondering how long we can keep doing this. I know I’m not alone in this, lots of small businesses are facing difficult times.

@alienbeekeeper Take it you enjoyed the festival? Another great four days.

@alienbeekeeper Although it’s a bit obvious, one of the bands I’m most excited for is Baroness. Somehow I’ve never seen them live, and their album last year was my AOTY

@alienbeekeeper We are indeed! Plans are all set for our departure on Wednesday morning!

@alienbeekeeper Four days of ATG - time for a bit of both?

6 Chancellors in 6 years. 6 Health Secretaries in 5. 9 Education Secretaries in 9. If they were a Head Teacher, their school would be in Special Measures. If they ran a branch of a bank, they’d be under arrest. A disgraceful rabble unfit for office: take them away!

@baj1983 Staggering piece of music.

#nowplaying Opeth - Deliverance That drum outro of the title track will forever be one of the best things they've ever done.

@SiGwfc No, I won’t do it again your honour… etc 😂

@KrisxWall I saw this last night and it’s exactly the sort of movie I enjoy. Based on this I will be sure to check it out! 👍

I’m a sucker for a shark movie, one of my favourite sub-genres of horror movies. Under Paris is in the same camp as Deep Blue Sea (the best shark movie of all-time, don’t @ me), it knows it’s ridiculous and has fun with it. The last 25 minutes are a wild ride.

@tokyoheather87 You are a wonderful person Heather. Hang in there and don’t be afraid to ask for help if you need it. ❤️

@Jericho_TM666 @JayAtkins66 @mjr_eazy @IBoyd1966 @stevechapman65 @TCC86409558 @gallopi57349837 @stevesmy69 @Sinister_Ruin @0to33andathird Dry Bone Valley my favourite off that album too. Never really gone in properly on The Sparrow until earlier this year but got totally hooked on it.

#AtoZBands M Bands Day 3 Mastodon Probably my favourite modern metal band. Seen em loads live, used to be really heavy, then went really prog, now an awesome mix of the two Album - The Hunter Song - Dry Bone Valley youtu.be/x4vMvJcP4TA?si…

@alienbeekeeper 🥳

@3magicnumberpod Yes it’s so good. Hope you like the other two as well! 👍

@thejavan LOVE LOVE LOVE SLIFT
