Yes, yes it does. Well done Nige and thank you David

Every time someone posts this - I’ll retweet. Just incase there’s ANYONE out there who hasn’t seen it… 👊💥

An early birthday present from Ian Wade who is a lovely man. Never seen one of these before. 1985. Compiled by Neil Tennant. Swingorilliant!

Anna has written one of the most beautiful coming of age through music stories that I’ve ever read. Im so incredibly honoured to be publishing it as well.
A book for teenage bedroom fantasists everywhere. As she says, “For once, Noel Gallagher can’t claim to have been there”

THURSDAY!

This is what happens when you get mentioned on a Taylor Swift album.

Oh. My.

In a world where you could be forgiven for thinking you’d read/heard/stomached all Beatle related insight and opinion three lifetimes over, this was always appointment listening. Will be greatly missed.

That Hipgnosis dead elephant logo feels a bit on the nose today

My very first records. I was still a toddler. This copy of Superwombling has probably been played more than any other LP I own. I fell in love with music through its 10 disparately styled tracks, the work of a preternaturally gifted melodist.
What an influence. What a story.

A good post day

I’m all for this. Great to see experienced and trusted broadcasters helming flagship shows

Enjoy that ascending 6 note riff from Roy Ayers ‘Everybody Loves the Sunshine’ going incessantly round your head for the rest of the day.

You’re welcome.

Sophy’s first Happy Hills book is out in two weeks and the sheer amount of love and effort that has gone into makes me feel exhausted. It is, frankly, magnificent

Finally! My search for a candle that smells of Opinions is over.
