Peter Martin

Giving thanks to Frank Turner for all the music. This year I couldn’t stop listening to I Still Believe. #SpotifyWrapped open.spotify.com/artist/27M9shm…

@billybragg His first published poem…

@PaulieStewart First time I saw The Pogues was at a bar in Fremantle. MacGowan made it through two songs, vomited on the people in the front and staggered off. Band kept playing. I was hooked!

Unforgettable gig when The Painters And Dockers supported The Pogues in Byron Bay. After our set Shane MacGowan {RIP) walked into our band room & went through a list of songs. We had to explain we were the support act & his group were next door!

@JasonIsbell One of the greatest songwriters ever. A small example: You fill my sweetest dreams You fill my sleep You fill my heart with love You make my life complete When all is said and done Darling I know you're the one

@annabelcrabb Generally speaking I love your work Annabel. Not going to watch anything with Dutton in it though. Well, maybe "Kitchen Defenestrations".

Hi Twitter / X I’m not much on this platform any more, and avoided it over the last fortnight as I judged that the mere announcement of a #KitchenCabinet Peter Dutton episode would trigger an orgy of outrage / Hitler memes etc even before it aired. This proved correct. 1/6

I bloody love @annabelcrabb and her not regular enough ABC Politics newsletter. This line in today's offering had my milkshake coming out both nostrils: "It's been a hectic week, but the Coalition's standing among pro-nuclear Jewish pharmacists has never been higher."

@WhellumAnthony @thefrontbar7 The correct answer. Another great one from that era was Ricky Barham v Wayne Schimmelbusch.

@thefrontbar7 Round 11,1978 Peter Knights vs Paul Vander Haar

What's the best one-on-one match up you've seen in a game of footy?

@CrispinFresch @PreetBharara After the first two eps of Season 4, it feels like Barry's writers have backed themselves into a corner. If they don't get him out of jail in ep 3, I'm done.

I’m caught up on Succession. New season of Ted Lasso next or Barry?

@JasonIsbell Felt privileged to see both of these guys perform at Byron last night. Two excellent shows @frankturner Still can't get past @SeagullsBand as my highlight of the first three days though. Kippis!

@dannymcginlay Also the Swans 😢

Richmond today.

@ElvisCostello Rats. The silver lining ('cos it's all about me) is that now I don't have to miss Nathaniel Rateliff tomorrow night 🙃 Hope you all recover well.

PLEASE SWIPE TO READ FULL MESSAGE Due to COVID illness of a key member of the Elvis Costello & The Imposters band, their Australian Tour has been rescheduled to 2024.

Just catching up on the latest @Rockwiz ep. The Meg Washington / Ben Lee duet at the end has to be one of the all time greats (and that's saying something). @WASHINGTONx @benleemusic

@jabso @billybragg Raises an interesting point about what's the definition of a cover. I'd argue that those songs are to a very large extent Billy's creations. Anyway, Billy righted it tonight with "I Heard Smoke On The Water Through The Grapevine". Cracking show tonight.

@InformalParty @billybragg Hate to be pedantic but a lot of his released material is covers so "power in a union" and "fascists bound to lose" were some covers he played last night. Great show

1043 days after the tickets went on sale, I finally get to play at the Forum in Melbourne, kicking off the first of three sold out shows tonight. Thanks to everyone who has held onto their tickets through 3 postponements. I’m on stage at 9pm, with no support act.

@DannyDeraney Wow. I love this clip. Thanks for posting.

Tom Jones and Janis Joplin are the duet I never knew I needed to see.

@DannyDeraney I don't really know why, but my answer is "Space Trucking" by Deep Purple 🤔

@frankturner @BluesfestByron So glad you're coming back to Oz Frank. See you in beautiful Byron.

Honoured to be back at the legendary @BluesfestByron this April. Tickets on sale now. bluesfest.com.au/tickets/

@OzKitsch Not sure how the ranking system works but I don't think I want to see #1-22. Oh boy.

@TracyWesterman There's also lots of research that suggests our negativity bias is adaptive, i.e. if we're a little bit cautious and reserved, we're less likely to stumble into danger.

Why do we react more to negative than positive? It’s known as positive-negative asymmetry. Negativity bias means we feel the sting of a rebuke more powerfully than the joy of praise. Negative stimuli stays in the brain longer, influences more decisions, motivation& learning

@rohan_connolly @YouTube Mate, your Twitter's been hacked. I've got a few musical guilty pleasures as well but this sh*t is next level.

Last night I mentioned the Doobies' 'What A Fool Believes'. I unashamedly love it. And here's another song someone with my sort of musical tastes is supposed to 'like' only ironically, but I'm here to say I genuinely love. youtu.be/ur8ftRFb2Ac via @YouTube
