Had a fun hang with Jeff Goldblum last week, where I asked him to blind-rank some Beatles bangers. There's a mad and bewildering 10 minute unedited version of this, but life, uh, finds a way.

"I started to realise that if this record was going to be about divorce and be – to oversimplify it – a ‘breakup record’, I didn’t want any of the bitterness of, ‘You did this’, ‘fuck you’, ‘I’m so glad I’m not with you any more’"

Lovely bloke x
Trevor Dietz.
We are utterly heartbroken to let you know that on Sunday June 7th we lost our dear friend and manager Trevor.
Trevor was beside us from the beginning of our journey as a band, we have never known Fontaines D.C. without him, the sixth member of the band.
