Surely SOMEONE has done a banger of a remix using Charli’s vocal “I think I’m gonna die in this house”

So I love this obviously but once Charli starts singing I THINK IM GONNA DIE IN THIS HOUSE I wish it went on for another ten minutes open.spotify.com/track/6lYUgm...

This is v good news. I adore this album. AND the Geese album. It's been such a Cameron Winter year! ❤️
glad that the Cameron Winter album is being counted in the end of 2025 lists what with having been released too late for the Best of 2024 lists

Had fab time at Mac Demarco gig at the Apollo last night. I was literally the only old person in the room, everyone else in their 20s including Blake who is really the target audience. I love the new album though and it was fun being among The Young, watching Mac goofing about doing handstands etc ❤️

For those interested in this kind of thing (ie all of you) this new book by @naomialderman.bsky.social is out now and it's FANTASTIC. Don't Burn Anyone At The Stake today is the title, and it covers the current information crisis we are living through, set in the context of previous ones.
a friend sent me a text just now saying “looks like Tim Davie is being burned at the stake today”

And yeah. This is very much “Thomas Moore is accused of not supporting the break with Rome, find a way to get his head off”. it‘s the information crisis.

Nice!
Well then. A blessing. I was lucky enough to see @ben-watt.bsky.social and @traceythorn.bsky.social #EverythingButTheGirl tonight. A glorious, career-spanning set in a tiny club. Among the most special gigs to which I have ever been ❤️

They’ve got a “Halloween trail” going on up at Kenwood, so it’s all plastic skeletons and polystyrene gravestones everywhere. Looks like a shit Traitors.

Same. I was a million miles from New York City, but I bought a suit jacket to try and look like Annie Hall, and I never stopped loving Diane Keaton. Properly sad she's gone ❤️
Oh man, I loved Diane Keaton— Annie Hall had such a huge influence on me as a teen, everything about her style & her energy, the clothes she wore & the way she talked! She just felt like such a model of New York City intellectual life, jittery & adventurous & original

Oh hello, Eeyore has joined the chat 😀

Currently reading the fantastic John Martyn biog by @graemethomson.bsky.social and walked across Hampstead Heath this morning with this track blasting in my ears. Probably passed the very spot where that cover photo taken. open.spotify.com/track/1ea5h9...

Learning to play a piece called Show-Type Tune by Bill Evans, which is exactly what it sounds like - a kind of *show tune* which is really beautiful but then suddenly a bit *out there* because of course this is Bill Evans. I mean either that or I'm just getting the notes wrong.

Hundred more pages of Dracula this afternoon and I am now completely hooked. I would say it has got its teeth into me. I'm not even sure I WANT to be reading it, but I can't stop. Fucking VAMPIRE of a novel 😬
I’m curled up indoors, hiding from the rain, recovering from a flu jab, and reading Dracula. It’s fucking creepy isn’t it why didn’t you tell me. Brrrrrr

Listening to Blood Orange's Essex Honey yet again and thinking obviously the only reason it isn't on the Mercury list is because of deadlines or something and so it will win next year's prize because I mean COME ON

Our residency of gigs at the MOTH Club might look tiny - and yeah, the gigs ARE tiny - but to me it feels like a huge achievement. I’m proud of myself and also hugely grateful to the people who helped me get here. So peace and love to everyone. Life is surprising. Change is possible. On we go ❤️ 2/2

Happy Birthday to me. 63 years old today. This past year has been momentous for me, as I finally confronted and overcame a fear that has stood in my way for 25 years. Singing live again has been a joy these last few months. 1/2

Been in France for two days and you’ll be astonished to hear I’ve had too much to eat

In the last two days I have watched both The Sting and All The President's Men, out of RESPECT. They left me with two key thoughts. 1) I am a complete child of the 70s. 2)My god they don't make film stars like that any more.

The years go by and I’m STILL learning to play Bill Evans’ Waltz for Debby. I’m getting better!

I seem to have really convinced myself that if I move my desk into a different position in this room I will get a great idea for a new book
