Ha!! Oh and he can’t stop talking about you. Just like the rest of us. Thank you so much for doing that X

Don’t put this in my head!

Aw! Xx

The Tom Waits & Kathleen Brennan Songbook, put together with their help and blessing ♥️

A lot of my worlds colliding here on (long time guitar hero /songwriter / pal) @richardhawley.bsky.social’s Little Bangers Vol.2 with sleeve design by childfriend mate 🇮🇪 @hitoneie.bsky.social doing the sleeve, release co-ordinated by the always ace @lizbuckley.bsky.social on @acerecords.bsky.social

Safe In My Garden - a new compilation I've put together for Ace Records. Melancholic sunshine pop, created in the shadow of Vietnam. Perfect for early autumn. www.acerecords.co.uk/safe-in-my-g...

Ace Records are delighted to announce the reissue one of Parliament’s classic LPs, “Funkentelechy Vs. The Placebo Syndrome” on 26.09.2025.

The new @acerecords.bsky.social comp CHIP SHOP POP is SO much my thing - 24 early 70s melodic Brit pop singles that should've charted, but didn't - but it's such a comprehensive set that even if I wasn't already in the bag for it I'd still be impressed.

Five stars.

I have decided Yungblud seems very sweet and I particularly like his stories about his mum and his nan. This is how I approach music made for younger people these days.

Absolutely!

He doesn’t have any tattoos.

For a split second, I thought she was wearing an Iggy Pop suit.

A happy cat in a cardboard box in the sunshine. (Morgan Freeman voice) in a story as old as time.

I deeply hope Sly Stone and Brian Wilson rest well. They gave us whole worlds. 💚

Bloody hell 💔

RIP to one of our heroes and a true giant of popular music: Sly Stone. Full appreciation to follow shortly. 🙏

I caught Mate having a heart to heart with a black & white tote bag.
