I’ll never forget when Fire left Earth, Wind And Fire to team up with Third Party and Theft, eschewing the music business for a new venture in the world of insurance.

Replying to @gilescoren
@gilescoren I know you hate these requests, but I recall you raved about a casual restaurant near the News Building where I think you went for a workday lunch. Do you remember the joint?

Damn it. Found it - Rooftop Cafe - but it's since closed. No matter.
I've now heard Crazy P's "Like A Fool" in a hipster pub in Shoreditch, and a suburban inn in Mill Hill. These are, truly, blessed times. Especially for bands with self-censored names.
Been thinking a lot recently about the intersection of #newwave and #nowave. Relevant listening, collected in this playlist: open.spotify.com/user/sachin…

Everything about this piece. So measured, heartfelt, and worth your time. "Maybe all trailblazers live to disappoint." What a lesson to take into the weekend! x.com/thetimes/status/100291…

The misjudgments of Roseanne Barr and Germaine Greer show that when originality fades, only a giant ego remains, writes @VictoriaPeckham spr.ly/6012DiP7k
thetimes.co.uk/edition/times… Anyone who thinks The Times is the voice of the establishment clearly hasn't read @VictoriaPeckham on #RepealTheEighth or Matthew Parris on Tessa Jowell. Praiseworthy prose.

I hope I've earned the right to say this, in relation to Tortoise LPs: #Overrated Standards, #Underrated Beacons Of Ancestorship. Shoot me. #postrock
ocweekly.com/lcd-soundsystem… Just a beautiful review, of two beautiful bands, playing beautiful and savage music. #LCDvsYYY

I know they're both busy guys, fighting the good fight, but I'd love to hear @SamHarrisOrg on @nick_clegg's podcast. Both have so much to say about reason vs emotion, anger and mendacity, and perhaps Jonathan Haidt. Let's make it happen!

if Mandy Richards remains a Labour Parliamentary candidate with tweets like this then I’m beyond words

…and then I get told on the doorstep by a @BarnetMomentum activist that there's no #Antisemitism in Labour. Shameful, or blind to reality. thetimes.co.uk/article/4e1e0…

Hi world. How the hell I use this hanger to hang this pair of trousers? Any ideas?
Beautiful comeback show from @FriendlyFires yesterday night. Pacing of the set was perfect, especially the prominence given to deep cuts from Pala. #lovelikewaves
Hope Edd's got his DustBuster at the ready for Ex Lover! @FriendlyFires x.com/O2academybrix/status/9…

We've been waiting so long for this day! Who's ready for @FriendlyFires tonight?!
