A pleasant Monday dilemma: where to place a genre-defying album amongst a collection from a genre-defying label... Za Górami is beautiful! @ECMRecords @AliceZawadzki @MishaMAmusic @FredThomMusic

As the last grand tour of the season draws to a close this Vuelta has illustrated perfectly that if you want an insight into the character of the riders and the dynamics of racing, then watch the racing, see the interviews, rather than rely upon unhelpful Netflix portrayals.

Absolutely gutted for Pfeiffer. Hope she's OK. @dsmfirmpostnl #TDFF2024

This Dutch radio recording from July 1951 is far from essential, but a bargain to hear Ferrier's "Urlicht". I thought Klemperer's 1963 Philharmonia recording was brisk, but this doesn't hang about at all. SQ is poor tbh, esp compared to Soviet recordings of the time. #mahler

In a week which saw 6 innocent people tragically killed due to the actions of a dangerous driver, I genuinely hope the man at the wheel of the blue BMW near Malton wraps himself around a sturdy tree before he gets the opportunity to repeat that act of murder.

Last year Matej, this year Victor... The most emotional wins, and the most heartfelt, and eloquent post-race interviews. How can you not love these guys? Strength and class. @VCampenaerts @lotto_dstny #TdF2024

I feel Coppi and Gimondi would very much approve of @arkeabbhotels Tour kit. #TDF2024

This was my inspirational view this afternoon, when I wasn't buried in the music! Thank you to @grazykoala for being easy to work with and generally brilliant, and thanks also for the invitation and welcome from @HowdenshireMus! Let's all do it again sometime! – at Castleford, England

If anyone in attendance at this evening's @HowdenshireMus concert is curious about composer and performer Rebecca Clarke, I implore you to read Quartet by @LeahBroad. @FaberBooks

Am I way off in thinking that finish today is reminiscent of Nokere Koerse's final? Regardless, stunning win by Tim Merlier, and monstrous comeback by Milan. #GirodItalia @soudalquickstep
