My latest monthly playlist is now up on Spotify. A selection that reflects the changing of the seasons,the chill of outdoors and the warmth of home. New music and new to me music sitting nicely beside old favourites. I hope you find something new to love. spotify.link/g0w8JetNpOb

@libdemdaisy Thanks for popping in, it's always good to feel appreciated.

📮 It was great to say THANK YOU to our incredible #StAlbans posties this morning. They’re all working around the clock to deliver cards and parcels in time for Christmas. ✉️It was fantastic to get into the festive spirit & to find out about what goes on behind-the-scenes too!

I've pretty much given up on this place, come on over to Bluesky. It's not owned by a maniac and you actually get to have reasonable conversations with real people. I know right? Sounds like this place ten years ago

The "record label" is a kitchen table full of tapes, photos, files and Post-It notes, run purely on love, and every morning I come down and see it and think, "I married a brilliant man." And also, "But there's nowhere for me to put my breakfast."

Spending the next few hours providing the soundtrack to our community autumn festival. A selection handpicked from this over long playlist. If you're in St Albans come down to the Cottonmill community and cycling centre from 1-30 till 3-30 open.spotify.com/playlist/5DasU…

@PeteSelby1 @nineeightbooks Well that's rubbish news. I'm really sorry to see Nine Eight go, you should be incredibly proud of what you did with it. All the best

I have some sad news about @nineeightbooks

My latest monthly playlist is now up on Spotify. It's a list that reflects the changing of the seasons, music heard (and bought) on a trip to Paris, & a selection of brilliant things that have stopped me in my tracks. I hope you find something new to love open.spotify.com/playlist/4HBXm…

@KiteFSTVL we spent two days at the Kite festival this weekend and I'd just like to say thank you for putting on such a well organised event. Also It was so refreshing to hear guests say "I don't know" to a question rather than attempting to bumble and bluff their way through.

@philippesands saw you speaking at the Kite festival earlier today and I just wanted to say thank you for explaining exceedingly complicated issues in an empathetic way that made them far more understandable.

A successful trip to Paris

So many young people I meet who're getting into filmmaking are middle class/from uni/have family in the arts If you don't come from those worlds, if you're working class + passionate about cinema, and wld like zoom chat, DM me Am not offering work, just encouragement/perspective

@NPortnell @_unspunheroes_ Here's the rest...

@NPortnell @_unspunheroes_ Success! €10 in a flea market

@NPortnell @_unspunheroes_ Hopefully I'll find a used copy, but I think it's been reissued quite recently in France as well

@NPortnell @_unspunheroes_ Bliss

September, the month where the leaves start to fall and my monthly playlists take on a more wistful woodsmokey feel. This month's list clings onto summer but always carries a jumper, just in case. I hope you find something new to love. open.spotify.com/playlist/5ft2V…

@libdemdaisy you seem to be popular with St Albans graffiti writers.

@AdlamCarl @AgeingRaver Thank you 👍

@Andymack @AgeingRaver Excellent piece.

I asked the good people at Toppermost ( @AgeingRaver ) if they would be interested in me writing about some of my favourite Madness tracks. Happily they said yes, and you can read the results here.
