Lovely to see my book in the Guardian's Brilliant Books for the Summer - thanks to those who compiled the list and to those of you who've bought the book

Superb book, this. Suede were the first band I properly fell in love with, and the fact they're still going at all is pretty amazing. But they're redefining what it means to be a band of their vintage in the 2020s, and Rodge Glass captures this so well. See 'em live if you can

Happy memories of listening often to this with my mum in the last few months of her life. She had dementia but enjoyed the music and remembered all the liturgy (although she'd be quick to complain if she felt a Bible passage was read poorly)

Ilkley - the moor and the town - looking mighty fine this morning. Huge thanks to @ilkleylitfest for inviting me to speak, looking after me so well and putting on such a great event, and thanks to all who attended or watched online - the turnout was fantastic!

A load of people who bemoan the decline of Western civilization seem quite comfortable with this return to barbarism

Really nice to be in today's @yorkshirepost talking Bowie, God and all that. Very much enjoyed being interviewed by a big Bowie fan for one of our great regional papers yorkshirepost.co.uk/whats-on…
