@shauntranslates D'OH! ~

I realise I’ve been getting Leo Woodall and Lewis Goodall mixed up all this time.

@mazymixer @wearejames @RealTimBooth Enjoy every moment. They are our happy place ~

Watching @wearejames last night was an incredible experience. 43 years since they formed, now 9 strong, and, in my opinion, they are better than ever. @RealTimBooth changing the setlist in real time to match the crowd's energy shows how their gigs are more than just playing songs

@BoothLyric 🫶

I can put on quiet a show But inside I’m broken

@RealTimBooth @BandLaid This is the only advantage of being a writer. You can't hear the cries of 'self-indulgent prick', only intermittently imagine them ~

@BandLaid Now you know how it feels😂😂😂😂

Last night we got heckled with the line "play something we know you self-indulgent pricks". So proud of that. Must've expected 2 hours of Sit Down, not the likes of Five-O, Life's a Miracle and Isabella

"Throughout the book, Manning emphasises the collectivity to which pop has consistently appealed ever since it turned tribal in the early 1950s." @StuartWalton1 on Toby Manning's MIXING POP AND POLITICS review31.co.uk/article/view/9…

@RealTimBooth Take care, bud 💙

Turned my ankle tonight in Plymouth. Still Had a wonderful gig - seated. It’s going to be a while before I’m dancing again. 🤷‍♂️🙄🩵

@OedipasKvass To me, it seems shallow and dated, with nothing like Pynchon's verbal dexterity or wit. Still, mildly less of a disaster than Zero K

More people need to check out Americana. One of DeLillo’s best. Hot take: everyone loves talking about how astounded they are with Pynchon’s debut novel, but this is the infinitely superior debut.

@shauntranslates You'd hope so, wouldn't you? But there's always more... ~

Something tells me “Chinese peasants” is going to be the turning point.

@leeartr One of the key novels of the 20th century, now in a range of English translations ~

I gather it changes over the course of 700 pgs, but why did no one tell me how funny The Magic Mountain is? I assumed (maybe due to Ryan Ruby's outspoken distaste for it) it would be rather staid and tedious, but this is vivid and mellifluous reading—wish I'd gotten to it sooner

@Soc_of_Authors Now let's see whether we're ignored courteously or belligerently ~

🍷 Agency author Stuart Walton explores how early cinema 🎬, like the Lumière brothers’ Partie de Cartes, highlights the deep-rooted significance of wine in French culture. Read more: worldoffinewine.com/news-features/… @worldoffinewine @StuartWalton1 #LumièreBrothers

@YouTubeCreators Trying to turn off YouTube Restricted Mode when it won't let you. Love that. Occupied half my evening last night, with no result ~

what’s your fave genre to watch? 🤔

@YouTube On that note, why has YT suddenly applied Restricted Mode to my account, and why won't it let me turn it off? I'm very adult and live in a house without children ~

oh to be a baby panda getting up to hijinks and mischief on a panda live stream right now

@michaelscaines Or a drinker. That helps too ~

"Thinking of Melville, thinking of Poe, thinking of Mark Twain and Vachel Lindsay, thinking of Jack London and Tom Wolfe, one begins to feel there is almost no way of becoming a creative writer in America without being a loser." Nelson Algren, born March 28 1909

@BoylanRoger Vlad looks as though he's reminding the waiter, not for the first time, that they ASKED for a couple of langues de chat ~
