I might not seem like the sort of bloke who listens to Ol’ Dirty Bastard on his lunch break, but I totally am.
Counting down the days until @succession comes back into my life... Ruthless billionaires... Pitch-perfect dialogue... Shakespearean skulduggery... What's not to love? #SuccessionHBO #CantWait #RoyFamilyDrama
I’m wondering how long it’s going to take for @elonmusk to slide into all our DMs to interrogate us on how many of us are bots… 🤖
Was a degree in Media Studies worth it? 🤔
Absolutely. In this age of misinformation and so-called fake news it’s never been more important learn how to analyse and critique how the media works.
It’s a degree that gets zero respect, but it’s definitely one of the most valuable.
The future is coming, whether you like it or not, and one thing's for sure - it will pass you by quickly if you're not ready for it.
Instagram is trying to be like TikTok and it's going down like a cup of cold sick. 🍵
It’s understandable they want to stay competitive by pivoting to video, but it does risk alienating their core audience.
What do you think of the changes to Instagram?

I had a dream last night that I met Coolio and we ended up performing ‘Gangsta’s Paradise’ on a karaoke machine. It was epic. 🎤🎶😂
For days when you wish you could just hop in a time machine 🚀 - Here’s @missbarton and @ben_bt’s list of 50 gigs that changed music… bit.ly/3BHFsnn
My son was moaning about school again.
“I don’t want to go to school,” he said.
“Why not?” I replied. “School has got the word ‘cool’ in it…”

My kids have just finished watching the new animated comedy show ‘Dodo’ and they love it! Any chance of a second series? @SkyKidsOfficial @SkyTV @jackbennettfilm @WildseedStudios @CAKE_Ent
Gareth Southgate, all is forgiven. What a story he has to tell - the man vilified for getting us knocked out of the semi-finals in Euro 96 taking England to their first final in 55 years. There’s a lesson there for all of us.

So, as we’re (hopefully) reaching the end of lockdown, I must ask: Have you done a fist bump with your elbow yet?
Football’s coming home and I’m rich! 🏴⚽️ Thanks for all the bitcoins, folks, I’m off to Hawaii. 🌴 #ScamAware
Woke up this morning and completely out of the blue my 7 year old daughter tells me she wants to watch Star Wars: The Phantom Menace...
Musicians should be properly renumerated by music streaming services. The fact that #Spotify thinks it's OK to be investing up to $500 million in podcast licensing deals whilst only paying artists £0.0031 per stream is just bonkers.

Very saddening to hear of the death of Meat Loaf songwriter Jim Steinman - his songs were truly massive and operatic, just like rock ‘n’ roll’s answer to Wagner. So many anthems. RIP Jim.

From Scottish folk ballads to smooth-voiced soft-rock classics, the best Gerry Rafferty songs brought him success on his own terms.

I had the pleasure of interviewing @DylanJonesGQ about his new book ‘Sweet Dreams: The Story of the New Romantics’.
I also wrote this article for @thisisdigmusic based on our discussion. Who was your favourite synth-pop act of the early 1980s?
