Anybody know stage times for @thetwilightsad at @Nath_Brudenell tonight? Looking like I might struggle to get there, so hoping to hear it's a relatively late start for some reason...

‘that, in many ways, sums up @MarkJLenderman’s sound on Manning Fireworks – he writes like one of the classic artists, but delivers his songs in a very contemporary way.’

It's happening across the country. And we question why so many vulnerable teenagers in our care system are forced into homelessness. This is why care experience should be a protected characteristic.

We are back with episode 80(!) of the Picky Bastards podcast. This month we dive into albums by Hinds, Personal Trainer, Pom Poko, Melt Banana and Genesis. Plus Sam tells us why he loves Treats by Sleigh Bells.
Get it in your ears now:

I haven't been able to share my reviews without my Twitter, so here's a link to my latest one.
A big favourite among the Bastards, but does @Fran_Slater think that Fontaines D.C. have done it again with their 4th album Romance?

So. If you used to follow my old account, I'm afraid I'm planning to use this one in a slightly more professional context. So if you're re-following to see who I'm gonna call a knob today, I won't be doing that anymore. Unless it's Coldplay.
