The best bit of reissues is the chat around it. I already own the perfect copy of Rubber Soul: my dad’s 1965 mono which I nicked off him, aged 12 or 13, having no idea it was special, I just liked the songs.

I made some quince jelly that didn't set and I was disappointed by it and then I realised it was cordial, and just mix it with cold cold water and it's lovely

Yeah I decided to knock booze on the head a while ago as I hit an age where the fun of it wasn't worth feeling like crap the next day, and now I have crippling squash addiction, and I'm giving tramps handjobs for Belvoir Farm Blueberry & Blackcurrant Cordial.

I kiss either side of my cat's face like a child pretending to be French.

The best drink is squash and if you want to get high hold your breath or spin around for a bit. I am six.

"Test your opinions in the fight club of ideas, may the best survive." No, when I say the Beatles are great I want to hear about how you find them great in a slightly different way to me, that sheds new light on them, not that you prefer punching yourself in the head.

The entirety of social media appears predicated on the idea I'm interested in hearing from people who disagree with me, and yet I am not.

The Kinks had one songwriter good enough to be in the Beatles. The Rolling Stones had no songwriters good enough to be in the Beatles. The Beatles had three songwriters good enough to be in the Beatles.

The correct opinion is that s1-s3 told a complete story and it was done, finished, rounded up. Then there was a extra series that didn't need to exist, but it had some good episodes anyway.

Just the best. Available here, should you want to try the exact version I had. www.stein-s.com

Public service announcement: I was in a restaurant the other day and people were eating what looked like ice cream, but scooping it up with bread. So I ordered some and it's INCREDIBLE. You need Obatzda in your life, if you haven't got it already. tarasmulticulturaltable.com/obatzda-bava...

Ha we are disagreeing. I genuinely don't think it's about fame slipping away. He's not a special case who needs a special explanation because we know him from telly, given I could throw a dart and hit loads of other 80-something men shouting the same rot who aren't famous.

My reading of it, is that being successful and famous doesn't make you more or less immune to being radicalised by far right facebook memes.

That you sing well together is probably the best but most often neglected reason for forming a band.

*looks up fav album on streaming* *spends another 60 seconds fiddling with search so it's not the 4 CD version with the album four times over, each version progressively crapper with different mix, demo version, then live version*

Nine years ago today. Camden is still waiting for our Bungle statue.

If the local schools pivoted to training for businesses in my area it would all be coffee pouring and selling pastries.

I had a hand in all those three. Bunny's Too Tight To Mention was my joke, Joel's execution. Destiny's Child was pretty much all Joel - but I tightened the captions so they landed on the jokes rather than pre-empting them by a few seconds. #rowsaboutwhowrotewhichlyriclikewerethebeatlesorsomething

The b3ta credit on this is literally me in this case. A Joel Veitch/Rob Manuel/Madonna original.
