Gaza’s hospitals - filled with critically injured children - are being cut off from power, food, water, and aid. Meanwhile, the bombs rain down. This is backed by the Tories and the Labour Party. We’re watching the West give its full complicity to a bloody, savage war crime.

Read my article about my wonky mind and how music helps it.

Yes, it came out at the start of June. But it's never too late for a review, right? Here's @Fran_Slater discussing Further Out Than The Edge by Speakers Corner Quartet: pickybs.com/2023/09/11/rev…

@Keir_Starmer is still a Tory theguardian.com/politics/2023/…

Did @Keir_Starmer think we'd forgotten what a knob he is? Being a knob all over the place today. Knob.

It’s resident The National fan @Fran_Slater here to review the latest album from the band. What did he think of First Two Pages of Frankenstein? pickybs.com/2023/06/19/rev…

Don't miss today's interview - @Fran_Slater talks to @benedictsongs: pickybs.com/2023/06/14/int…

@sampilger Cry, cry, cry.

Pick your Treble 1999: A team based on academy players, many of them local Mancunian lads. 2023: An autocratic nation state with unlimited wealth and a sports washing project with an overturned UEFA ban and 115 current unanswered charges for cheating and rule breaking.

‘One of the heaviest albums that we’ve covered in a long time.’ @Fran_Slater makes a surprising claim when discussing the @LankumDublin album on the #podcast: pickybs.com/2023/05/29/pic…

@JackGrealish is a good dude.

Hi all. First review from me in a while - I caught the @Blondshe11 show in Manchester last week. And you can read it on the shiny new @PickyBastards website.

We're back, Bastards. We've been on a little break but it's over now - today, we share our brand spanking new website with you all. Let us know what you think of the thing: pickybs.com

As we relaunch, we have FOUR new articles to share with you. Rick reviews the @Wednesday_Band_ album, Fran covers @Blondshe11 at @yes_mcr, Sam shares a @Beyonce mixtape, and we introduce our latest #podcast. Check them all out on our new look site: pickybs.com

@Atkins_Sam @DavidMooney Only won this one because of @NFFC, so I'm claiming it.

Manchester City have seen a 1176% increase in winning the Premier League since I met @DavidMooney. I am taking 100% of the credit.

Yeeeesssssssss #nffc

Tonight might be the first time I've ever wanted Liverpool to win a game of football. #NFFC

Been stuck here for hours. #dadjoke

@hair_rayney More likely you will with the way we've been going.

@Fran_Slater Wouldn't worry. You'll almost certainly get another. Our defence is like a fucking wet paper bag.

Fucking Forest. If we hadn't conceded that goal I think we'd have gone on to stay up. Think we're going down now. Can't see where a win is coming from if we can't hold on in a game like this. #NFFC
