In the hope that it might be less toxic than this pace, I've opened a Blue Sky account @andrewneal66@bsky.social
See you there?
Looking forward to this a lot.

A new Jonathan Coe novel is always a delight. The Proof of my Innocence wraps formal experimentation & a history of neo-conservativism in a murder mystery set in the time of Truss's ludicrous premiership & comes out with a real page-turner. Funny & thought-provoking.
I went to a gig and it was rather good!

Fortunately, I can spend hours upon hours listening to the Go-Betweens.
"It has been an unfettered delight to dive into this boxset and if any band warrant delving down an obsessive wormhole, it is surely the Go-Betweens." @AndrewNeal66 reviews G Stands for Go-Betweens:

Easy to see why @Willjhodgkinson's Street-Level Superstar has been hoovering up the music book prizes. An empathetic & funny tale of Lawrence which revels in all the small details normally missing from music biographies: liquorice, milky tea, public urinals & bungalows.

It "scales the musical heights of ‘I Love You, Honeybear’ and ‘Pure Comedy’ while the lyrics are full of the WTF moments, insights and puzzles that will delight his long-term fans." @AndrewNeal66 reviews the new
