Awful news. Janice's amazing Radio 1 show was part of the blueprint for the Evening Session when @jowhiley and I presented it. We fleetingly had back to back shows at XFM and she was a regular @bbc6music Roundtable. Always warm, generous and a real fan.

Afternoon all. So I’m not going to be on drivetime for a while. I’m fine (for people who’ve asked), but spoke to a local doctor last week who advised me, for various reasons, to stay at home for now.

My view tonight ⁦ @thecluny ⁩ An almost effortlessly edgy and absorbing set from ⁦ @nadineshah ⁩. She can be so spellbinding, without even realising how compelling she is. Roll on the new album

Just back home after seeing ⁦ @YardActBand ⁩ ⁦ @BedfordEsquires ⁩. Without wanting to be too gushy about this, the audience were great, the band were on terrific form and the one-liners were exemplary.

Thank you to @MurderCapital_ and everyone at @ku_stockton for last night’s gig. Still buzzing. Though also a bit blurry of head.

A decade of great bish bosh guitar pop and “sonic cathedrals of sound.” Oh, and DMs, baggy shirts, crowd surfing, shoegazing, chin scratching and pre-millennium angst. I mean, I’m biased but I’d have this for Silverfish and Arab Strap alone.

Anyone else doing this? Reminding yourselves of ‘lost’ moments from your record collections? I’m bumping into all sorts of old friends #recordsIhaventplayedinages No 3 Pulp. Described back then by @rocking_bob as “a bottomless pit of seething sauciness”
