I’m excited to announce the book - and acoustic EP - to accompany my 2026 ‘spoken word’ dates. It’s a beautiful thing, if I say so myself! It will be published in the spring, but you can order your copy now, if you fancy.. link below. I thank you.. 🙏🏻 awaywithmedia.com/buy-books/…

SPEED was released 32 years ago today. Acclaimed as one of the great action movies of the ‘90s, and among the most popular of Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock, the story of how it came to the screen never drops below 50… 1/46

If my timeline could refrain from showing an AI photo of Nigel Farage decking someone on Question Time every 4-6 posts, I’d really appreciate it.

Ian Wright is an absolute hero for saying how we all feel about this World Cup… “I've just read that the Somalian referee has been denied entry. Every few hours it's another story, another story about fans denied, players denied, officials denied, journalists denied, now refs," Wright said. "You know something I'm laughing but it's not funny, it's actually not funny and something has to be said. "The expensive tickets, the most expensive tickets ever, expensive accommodation, transport through the roof. It has to be said. "Is this how the hosts behave really for the greatest game, the greatest tournament in the world, is this how the hosts behave? "Are we not hearing more? Are we seeing how Qatar got dragged, are we not hearing more? Is this the spirit of football, really? "You know who I feel for? I feel for the American fans who are desperate for this, American soccer fans who are desperate for this, how embarrassed they must be. How embarrassing for them this must be. "This is the World Cup, this is a World Cup of chaos. Whoever wins this World Cup is going to have to go through some serious chaos to get this done. "I hope we can do it, but something has to be said now. This is the World Cup."

THE TRUMAN SHOW was released 28 years ago today. Jim Carrey’s first foray onto a dramatic role, and acclaimed as one of the decade’s great satires, the story of how it came to be will give you the feeling you’re being watched… 1/46

Currently listening to this gem by @Here_Be_Frost. As someone who has lived with Close to the Edge for 54 years as the Greatest Prog Album of All Time, Life in the Wires, runs it very close. It’s a masterpiece, from the first 'Can you hear me?' to the final ‘Where am I?’

ALIEN was released 47 years ago today. One of the definitive science fiction/horror movies, and among Ridley Scott’s best, the behind-the-scenes story is like the perfect organism… 1/39

Okay folks from the UK ... it's your time to step up and make a difference ... I hate thieves! 😡 "Please could you keep an eye on here or other forums for my stolen Les Paul R9 from 2014. It was stolen from West Yorkshire. The suspect is trying to off load it locally and police are aware. It might even turn up as a new guitar day post." ~ Yorkshireman David

TOP GUN was released 40 years ago today. One of the definitive 1980s action films, and among the most popular of its star, Tom Cruise, the story behind the scenes will take your breath away… 1/45

Since my cancer diagnosis has stalled my blog about every London studio, at No.100, I thought I'd reshare some episodes for new readers. Here’s the story of The Who's Ramport Studios and the making of Quadrophenia. Shares are always appreciated. willyoumeetmeonclareisland.w…

And just like that, the very wealthiest party in the U.K. backed by foreign billionaires is supported by the very poorest members of society who dislike foreigners. You couldn’t make this shit up.

Some of the movie artwork that goes viral can come from the world of ALTERNATIVE MOVIE POSTERS. It’s INTERNATIONAL DESIGN DAY, so here's a selection and their creators - none of these are AI... First up, Inception (2010) by Grzegorz Domaradzki 1/61

MAD MAX was released 47 years ago this week. Acclaimed as one of the great low-budget films, and the movie that launched the career of star Mel Gibson, the making of story is a ride through a dystopian wasteland… 1/44

Trae knows.
