This really does seem to be the week in which Bluesky is gaining critical mass. I am over there on the same handle (@richardmlive). Will be checking in here as not all news accounts have transitioned yet, but hopefully my visits will become less and less frequent. #joinus
At The Edge Of The Sea - oil on stretched canvas. Wanted to capture the feeling of heading home from the @concorde_2 on Brighton sea front after @weddingpresent topped the bill back in August. Great music, Victorian ironwork and a warm summer night.
Is Duncan quietly confident with his Fulham top five/ Silva to Man U prediction? #TFSLIVE. Sent on behalf of Gerard sitting next to me who doesn’t have Twitter for some reason.
And so for my fourth @weddingpresent gig of the year. After a library and a beachside railway station, tonight it’s the more conventional setting of the Shepherds Bush Empire, the home in the past of such BBC Shows as Wogan, Whistle Test and Crackerjack.
Good, why would Suede, a band currently at their creative and live peak want to take part in a 90s revival fest? You can see them for £40 in a decent venue, not for £300 stood in a field watching a distant video screen in the rain.
It doesn’t look like @suedeHQ will be supporting @oasis on their reunion tour
Liam Gallagher appears to hold a grudge over Brett Anderson's past comments about Britpop, and him once criticising Oasis nme.com/news/music/it-doesnt…

A key point missing in a lot of post debate analysis is that Trump’s claim about immigrants eating pets almost perfectly syncs up to the piano in the Peanuts theme song.

As with Rising Damp yesterday, I'm going with a double bill of Yes Minister. This clip is the easiest of wins, of course. But, by thunder, it's a good'n.
Plus ça change, as they say in the
Dordogne.
Good evening.

At the @BFI this evening for the launch of Slow Horses season 4. A screening of the first episode and then a panel. Audience sworn to secrecy on spoilers, but definitely the best thing on TV at the moment by a mile…

It’d be transformational if just an extra 1% of the Oasis queue took an interest in live music in small venues.
I’ve seen figures that 20m tried for tickets today. If 1% off them went to 4 gigs a year at a small venue (300 cap), it would be sold out every night for 7.3 years.
OK, it was a shame we didn’t get the special extended edition of Happiness Patrol @BFI #DoctorWho today, but it did mean we got an extended panel instead, with @IJustinJohnson1 chairing possibly my favourite panel of the dozens I have seen over the years. Thanks to all involved.
