Finally made the move over to the Blue place, since that actually seems to be taking off now. Find me and, mutuals, share your deets so I can keep up with you. This account will be dormant from now on, unless Twitter ever gets its shit together. It's been an honour.

At last, my Top 50 Songs of the Year series (presumptively) comes to a complete close on the 10 I could not live without in 2024. If we're going out, we're really going out on top. calliepetch.com/2024/12/30/t…

This would typically be the point where I start unveilling the Top 50 Songs of the Year. However, 2024 was so goddamned incredible for music, I ended up with a bunch of almosts I needed to share before we get down to business. calliepetch.com/2024/12/27/t…

Whilst I'm back on this toxic dumpster fire site to pimp Listmas before fleeing back to BlueSky, I'd just like to announce that I am buying up all available stock for Paper Boyfriend going into 2025. They're quickly becoming one of my favourite new music-centric video essayists.

Got so caught up in Wallace & Gromit last night that I forgot to plug Part 3 of my 2024 gigs ranking. @itsthedare! @confidencemanTM! @probpatterns! @METZtheband! @cheekfaceREAL! So many more please never let me do this again! calliepetch.com/2024/12/25/2…

More of the writing equivalent of a grandparent forcing their family to look through recent holiday snaps.

Hopping back on once a day for the next week only because Listmas has officially started and I want to get eyes on these exhausting pieces I wrote. Here's Part 1 of me ranking all 46 (proper) gigs I saw this year. Back tomorrow with another part. calliepetch.com/2024/12/23/2…

Callie Petch Ranks Every Gig They Attended in 2024 (Part 1)

I went to too many shows and now my self-loathing capitalism-rotted brain insists I rank them in order to justify the time and money spent.

Best season in a long time, even with FIA bullshit doing its best to cloud things. See you all again in March! #AbuDhabiGP

Come for the catty Catholics and political gamesmanship, stay for the moving exploration of a crisis of faith and Ralph Fiennes reluctant yet cold career standout performance. An excellent drama. #Conclave

Would also make a great double bill with the thematically similar, and similarly excellent, Juror #2. #Conclave

🎵 On Boxing Day. Robbie Williams looks to entertain you as a CGI monkey in #BetterMan. ✏️@CalliePetch lets love be their energy in their ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review, declaring it a biopic unafraid to go for gigantic swings at every possible op. Read HERE: moviemarker.co.uk/better-man

Made my debut at @MovieMarker to let you all know that Better Man, the Robbie Williams biopic where he's a CGI monkey, is both good enough to act as an apologia for Greatest Showman and one of the bolder mainstream movies in recent times. #BetterManMovie moviemarker.co.uk/better-man

Major thanks to @LegallyBOD for taking my review pitch on this one and therefore helping me justify an expensive last-minute train journey to my depressive mind!
