Popped into @TheGarageHQ for a sonic tune-up courtesy of shimmering psychedelic indie icons The House of Love. Finished with ‘Love in a Car’ (how apt) - an exhilarating, incendiary ride to a life less ordinary. #thehouseoflove

Singing along to Strawberry Switchblade on @BBC6Music – thanks for the positive pop vibes, @steve_lamacq, even though the lyrics are pretty dark! (Gotta love soaring melodic pop with a dark underbelly.)

Fusing indie with blissed-out dub and electronica, #andrewweatherall supplied a large slice of the soundtrack to my student years. He was one of the few producers/DJs whose work and collaborations I would always check out. RIP.

Excitedly jumping around singing @thechurchband classics in anticipation of @stevekilbey London gig tonight. An evening of mesmeric sonic magic awaits... @slaughteredlam

Cheer up cobber, it’s only a little urn #ENGvAUS

Simon Gallup - sonic marauder and slayer of propulsive bass lines. Along with Peter Hook, peerless. #TheCure #Glastonbury2019

A Forest is unsettling and euphoric in equal measure. How is this possible? Only Bob knows... #TheCure #Glastonbury2019

Push - In Between Days - Just Like Heaven... 9 head-spinning minutes of transcendent alt-pop genius #TheCure #Glastonbury2019

The Cure: still darkly, deliriously glorious. #Glastonbury2019

I think Stormzy’s elastic might have gone in his trousers. #southnorwood boy done good, tho. Pretty darn epic. #se25 #glastonbury19 #GlaSTORMbury

I thoroughly understand the Watford fans’ indignation. How dare Arsenal allow themselves to be elbowed in the face, smashed on the shin and kicked in the head by those big, brave boys in yellow and black? #cajones #WATvARS

Crikey, @stevelamacq, haven’t heard Celebrate by An Emotional Fish for, literally, decades... made me leap around the office like a loon, damn you! @BBC6Music

Sorry to be pedantic @SkySportsPL but Chelsea’s win at West Ham last Monday was not the first time Spurs were knocked out of the top 3 since Dec; Arsenal went 3rd when they beat Newcastle on 1 Apr, leapfrogging Spurs who dropped into 4th. Silly billies...

RIP Mark Hollis – author of jewel-like synth-pop and majestic post-rock. His masterpiece, Spirit of Eden, is a work of aching, fragile beauty, where the space between sounds is as vital as the sounds themselves. Soul music, in the truest sense. #MarkHollis #TalkTalk

Lovely to see @6_LKOSCIELNY shouldering his responsibilities as Arsenal captain v Chelsea #ARSCFC

#LoveWillTearUsApart #NewOrder #AllyPally

Tousle-haired troubadour’s finest.

Great start by England but we need to keep tight to their best player - Ivor Nastyitch - or he’ll be all over us like a rash... #EnglandvsCroatia
