@yasisalek Hi Yasi - I would love to get a book over to you, how does one do that? Do you still have a PO box?

We’re GOING ON A MASSIVE TOUR… later this year… You can sign up to our newsletter (link below) to get access to the pre-sale, starting this Wed at 11 AM CET. MORE TOURING ANNOUNCEMENTS COMING SOON… finkmusic.net/pages/newslett…

The Secret Agent should totally win the Best Picture Oscar. It shouldn't even be close. What a masterpiece... and I loved a lot of the others.

If, like me, you broadly approve of the Beeb, this might be helpful also... britishbroadcastingchallenge.com/wp-content/upl…

Everyone's busy, but if you've got a sec, fill in this public consultation on the future of the BBC. Deadline is 10th March! gov.uk/government/con…

“The City Is Coming To Erase It All”, our upcoming album, our new obsession, begins today with its first step. The first single “Memorise Your Senses”. Pre-order now lnk.to/Sw2Ps5

@Elbow For a long time i thought the lyric was “build a rocking horse”

On this day in 2011, elbow released ‘Build A Rocket Boys!’. A record about growing up, memories, and the places and people that stay with you. Do you have a favourite track?

@IrkthePurists I bet Tina Turner wished Ike was a band and not her husband

Hang on, so Rufus were a *band*, not a solo bloke that Chaka Khan collaborated with? This is Rose Royce all over again.

I have a surfeit of people named Alex in my life right now. Our agent is Alex. The guy who supplies our merch is Alex. Our bass player's brother? Alex. Our Austrian promoter? Alex. Our PR guy? Alex. There are two people called Alex at our record company. It's an Alexocracy.

Starmer says he vows to "keep fighting". This is part of the problem. No one wants fighting. They want listening and doing, which is why the Greens won. Whether they will be good at doing either of those things is theirs to prove.

This was an opportunity to interestingly explain what cask ale actually is, and they blew it

Just had a Valentine's discount offer email from a bike parts company. Nothing says "forever yours" like a 10-speed double chain set and some brake calipers.

@RachaelvsWorld You could write “no gifts please but please show up blindfolded”

I’m getting married in 6 months is it uncouth to put ‘please don’t look at me’ on the invites?

Surprised more people aren't comparing Epstein story to Stephen Ward. Rich bloke provides girls to posh friends - check. High society types snared and shamed - check. Rumours of top secret leaks make things hard for UK govt - check. Protagonist ends up topping himself - check.

I’m kind of disappointed that the promotional website for the movie Hamnet isn’t ham.net

I can only add my praise to that already heaped on this fantastic book by Justin Currie. Touching and hilarious, but also the most accurate depiction of touring life I’ve ever read

@nee_massey Last night when we came 2nd in the pub quiz

When was the last time you were in a really good mood?

@yasisalek It’s interesting, Rob is the first person I’ve heard anywhere saying that Nirvana had gone a bit “meh” before KC died. This is exactly how we felt at the time. No one ever seems to say this these days though. Quite refreshing.

new episode of Bandsplain about the not that mysterious actually but really that talented band Portishead. Three uniquely gifted artists, three exquisite albums, four-ish hours of podcast: open.spotify.com/episode/0r79Ff…

I'm loving the new season of Stranger Things but I'm obsessed with the fact that Vecna doesn't know he's called Vecna. Please Duffer Brothers can you squeeze in a scene where he says "Who is this Vecna?" or "Why do you keep calling me Vecna?" - or similar
