.@Dom_Haley caught Jenny Hval's new postmodern theatre show I Want to be a Machine at @BarbicanCentre this week loudandquiet.com/short/jenny-hv… #jennyhval

are you a freelance magazine editor who's got 4-5 days per week free from May? unlikely I know, but if so, my DMs are open… #journorequests #freelancejobs

Covered Damo Suzuki many times back in the @Spoonfed days. Was always lovely to speak with. Sad to see him go.

Back in November, I drank a few crappy pints and chatted music with Lip Critic. Head over to @LoudAndQuietMag to see the results: loudandquiet.com/interview/lip-…

@LoudAndQuietMag I guess so? It’s bloody awful though

@Dom_Haley That must have been a hometown pride purchase, surely?

With the benefit of hindsight, what do you think is the worst album you've bought? Not streamed – gone to a shop, bought, put on, and, after trying desperately to find something in it, thought, this was a mistake

@perpetua Piping up. Totally agree that there’s a wealth of publications right now, but speaking from experience it’s mostly small shops that can only support a small stable of writers. The problem of losing the Pitchfork’s is that we lose a massive supplier of oxygen for the ecosystem.

there's a lot more. nothing is dead. there's more life to this than there's been in years right now.

Antiart • No Bells • I Enjoy Music • Pop Pantheon • Todd in the Shadows • No Expectations • First Floor • Loud and Quiet • Don't Rock the Inbox • Constantly Hating • Our Band Could Be Your Wife • Last Donut of the Night • Stereogum • Indieheads • Endless Scroll

A truly bizarre move.

@gemtriesharder Me neither…

Still don’t get TLDP

Waking up to news about Bandcamp, & it’s properly depressing. Hard not to think that the enshittification of DIY music didn’t just kick up a notch.

Accurately captured the energy of every DJ in ‘00s Nuneaton.

Just caught myself enjoying the turntablism on that recent Yard Act song. What the hell is wrong with me?

@LoudAndQuietMag Easily one of the nastiest songs you could play at a wedding

@Dom_Haley DJ'd this at EOTR last week. Highlight of the set

This song still absolutely stands up.

"We need to increase investment to youth groups and initiatives across the UK" in order to increase opportunities outside London, Youth Music's @dcwilliamsss tells @BBCNews. #MercuryPrize bbc.co.uk/news/newsbeat-…

@LoudAndQuietMag I miss the Q Awards…

@LoudAndQuietMag Every year it’s always the same. That depressing Friday morning, when, yet again, the tux goes back to shop unused.

Still never been invited to the Mercury’s or any other awards do. It’s pretty outrageous, and Moss Bros are starting to get impatient
