Something I never dreamed I would write: I have a six-page feature in the new edition of @TIME magazine. It's connected to the 30th anniversary of Fall of the Berlin Wall. It's published together with a piece penned by Mikhail Gorbachev.

Coldest graphic. Holy fuck

I’m not even Scottish but what a moment a what a bit of iconic commentary “Shoot, SHOOT!!” 😂😂

Has anybody on here had a deal to buy a home in Scotland collapse at the last minute? Perhaps within days, or even on the day, of moving in? If so I would be very interested to talk to you for an article I'm working on. DMs open and email address in bio. #journorequest

I can understand why people love “Scandi socialist utopia does it better” stories, and I wish more of them were true (some are). But the housing situation in Stockholm is just as savage as anywhere else.

I am happy for this man but this story is completely misleading. Uppsala is in no way “Stockholm”. Nobody arriving in Stockholm is getting a rent-controlled flat without being on a waiting list many years. Even if they do it won’t cost anything like £630. news.stv.tv/world/can-swed…

Very much enjoyed Michael’s book, and for a change asking him some questions that weren’t “what do you think about bebra?”

@JohnWilson14 @BBCRadio4 Hey John, can you follow me for a DM about this please? Thanks.

‘Bowie In Berlin’ @BBCRadio4 14/09/24 8pm I’ve produced a radio doc about David Bowie‘s time in Berlin / living with Iggy, wearing moustache & check shirts, making Heroes in Hansa, as remembered by those who were with him. Presented by filmmaker Francis Whately (Five Years)…1/2

Springsteen’s 2024 tour dates didn’t have surge pricing to my understanding, and were reasonably priced (I got a standing ticket for about £70) so fair play to him.

Like most people it seems, I had a bad/unsuccessful experience this morning (and afternoon) trying to get Oasis tickets. Reminded me of this @BigIssue piece I wrote last year about Ticketmaster/Springsteen. Even angrier about it all now than I was then. bigissue.com/culture/music/…

@michaelmphysics Ordered! Can’t wait to finally find out what you think about bebra.

In the 00s, I was in the world's best and most forgotten indie punk band, We Are The Physics, and I've written a whole book about what it's like to be a massive international failure. Unbelievably, it's being printed, and you can now pre-order it from @LNFGlasgow - link below.
