@longwaveromesh Monty’s Pickups Full Monty or Retrowind sets. Absolutely awesome.

i do love a wine red gtr. this is my les paul custom. any suggestion for some new pickups to try in it? something a bit hot perhaps?…

@rossfromband I think they did that in the arrangement because Kuenssberg can hear high frequencies more clearly than we can. That’s her signal to put the crack pipe down.

One of life's rare thrills is when the constant beep in the BBC News theme goes up an octave with 5 seconds left on the clock.

@rrrrrrrrrrob Pfizer-side. All the vaccine. Zero (five-a-)side-effects.

Had the Pfizer and then banged 5 in at five-a-side playing the Matthaus role 😂. Might have a covid shot every week now.

@longwaveromesh @marshallamps I love the 67-68 amps. They’ve got a midrange that just works. Is that a KT66 or EL34 one?

the top one is a @marshallamps jmp from 1967 and it might be one of the best amps i have ever heard!! so satisfying to play on 🎸

@thefutureheads I always imagined that song would be top of Tony Blair’s “great riffs I want to learn” list. I bet he got the tablature book for Christmas one year.

Sometimes, even and especially when I'm on my own (not a euphemism), I find myself laughing and remembering that bit in Driven by You where Brian May sings, 'you're in safe hands' and does that daft shit crossing his arms and wiggling his fingers. Brilliant

@nadineshah This is absolute genius.

My best mate Yaz. Once I played a gig in Istanbul and because of a high security alert it was empty. So Yaz joined Tinder Istanbul and invited loads of lads down to my show for a date with her. She hid backstage the whole night when she realised they had all turned up.👍🏽

Wonderful album produced at The Grain out today.

@tapeopmag Jef Leppard, Ged Zeppelin, Dan Halen

One of the better threads on Twitter right now... (The Eggles, Player and Boxy Music quickly came to mind)

Terrifying. The most up-to-date streaming rates adapted for £ and for UK minimum wage. Data from the excellent @thetrichordist. #BrokenRecord

@kathydelmarr Probably mostly because of the total arrogance, ineptitude and sociopathy of those in charge.

The numbers don’t lie. UK is 14 days behind Italy - why still no lockdown?

@sainsburys please remove the queue barriers around the self checkout at your High Heaton NE7 store so customers aren’t forced to queue less than 3ft away from people using the checkouts. #riskassessment #coronavirus

Well done @Bandcamp. Wouldn’t it be great to see @Spotify, @AppleMusic et al follow suit?

@BBC6Music @laurenlaverne @FestCamden Manilow - tractor maintenance.

If you could interview any musician on any topic, who would it be? 🚨 The music may be sold out for #6MusicFest but join @laurenlaverne on Monday from 7-30-10:30am to find out who will be "in conversation" at our by day events, and how you can procure tickets.

Start playing Only Fools & Horses series 6, episode 1 "Yuppy Love" at precisely 22:30:03 tonight and Del Boy will fall through the bar at exactly Brexit.

@jessphillips I’ve been thinking for ages that there should be a program where holidaying children give their opinions on some of Wakeman’s records. Reciprocity. Can’t beat it.

My husband has the day off and is watching day time telly for the first time in years, "how did I survive without knowing Rick Wakeman's opinion on if kids should be allowed to go on holiday in term time."

As someone who spends their whole life in music it’s weird watching the #BRITs - like watching another world. Even the boring sports awards feel more relevant to my life!

Obligatory snow pictures. It’s so blissfully silent out there. No so much in the studio… instagram.com/p/BfwEWX8lAE4/

@littlecomets Does he prefer catering or buyout on tour?

Got enough vocal effects? Yes. Definitely yes. #mixing #producerlife #production… instagram.com/p/BbmnU0kDLzG/
