- The best Reading headline lineup for years. But Simon’s joke is spot on…

- I wonder if there are many people out there who’ve driven as many miles as me for work, yet also never owned a car. Countless circuits of the UK, hundreds of thousands of miles, around the EU and across North America too. Still never had one of my own.
- New Border Crossing… bordercrossing.substack.com/p/115-this-e...
- New Double Chorus newsletter on deep, focused listening and the new Tom Williams album. Has an odd missing sentence because I poorly sub-edited it, but otherwise golden… doublechorus.substack.com/p/083-on-the...
- I wrote a Double Chorus newsletter about Saturday’s gig, covers the setlist, the band and my thank-yous list…
- Reposted by Chris Thorpe-TraceyShabana Mahmood casually saying they're gonna take migrant's jewellery off them has got me thinking about that scene in Schindler's List where the Jewish family wrap family heirlooms in bread and swallow them. What the fuck are we?

- One of the most pure vile, disgusting things I’ve ever heard from a ‘Labour’ politician. And that’s saying something these days, they all spout such hateful bully pulpit crapola. Any decent society would laugh this stupid person out of office.

- It’s Chris T-T gig and LP reissue week. Very excited. These beauties are officially released on Friday, then my first proper headline concert in almost a decade is Saturday night at the 100 Club, with my gorgeous band.
- Hello. A quick Chris T-T vinyl LP update. They’re here, they look and sound gorgeous and we’ve pre-sold most of them. Official release date is 14th Nov. Order your copies now, £20 each. I’m never pressing more of these, so this is it… www.indietees.co.uk/chris-tt
- In case you missed it. Live acoustic, sweary ‘Cull’ from last month…

- I taped a Cellar 92 session, had a great time with Intoxicated Pigeon in the basement. Here’s a sweary acoustic performance of ‘Cull’ from London Is Sinking…

- Reposted by Chris Thorpe-TraceyUS Government accounts have arrived on Bluesky. Block on sight. Protect your digital space. Be aware that the DHS account in particular is known to quote dunk on regular people to encourage their followers to harass them. The detach quote function will come in very handy here…
- Hello. I’ve reviewed the new Bar Italia album Some Like It Hot for @thequietus.com.
- Me and Frank Turner, singing ‘Giraffes #1’ backstage at Lost Evenings VIII a couple of weeks ago in Edinburgh. Frank’s cover (from the mid-2010s) features on his new rarities collection The Next Ten Years. The song was originally on my 2003 album London Is Sinking.
- If Zack shows up with his A game surrounded by these four custard thick right-wing cuntsticks, it could seriously be a sight to see.
- I’d love to know what effect tonight has on Cat Burns’ album sales, versus, say, an appearance on Later or Graham Norton.

- Tonight Jack Whitehall kisses the ring of the Saudi despots, playing a set at their comedy festival. Because obviously he desperately needed the cash, struggling artist that he is.
- Brighton friends: if you want to hear me sing some Chris T-T songs, on Sat 25th Oct I’m adding a half-hour solo guest spot (mid evening) at this brilliant alldayer from Goo Records at the Hope & Ruin…

- Even within the framing of the current lunatic law, this is 100% a wrongful arrest: a statement opposing the proscription of an organisation is not the same as support for that organisation. It’s also *exactly* what the fool who made this mess @yvettecooper-mp.bsky.social claimed would not occur.
- Lisa Nandy thinks our culture will improve if we replace the BBC with a subscription model. I think our culture will improve if we replace Lisa Nandy with a rubber gimp mask plonked on a hatstand.
- I only came on here to say how much I love this late night stormy weather. Still, got caught in a political doomscroll, now I’m in total despair. Fuck the socials, even the ‘good’ ones, we’d all be far better off just walking around in the wind and rain.
- @fwcollaborative.bsky.social If you’re RTing centrist corporate shill Jeffries, I hope you’re also endorsing Mamdani for real change.

- When Nick Cave talks politics it always reminds me of that time A.I. mimicked a Nick Cave song.

- Brighton friends! On Thursday night I’m going on Guy Lloyd’s Radio Blah Blah show, singing old Chris T-T songs and chatting nonsense with Guy. It’s broadcast live from the theatre upstairs at The Actors. Come along if you fancy it… www.ticketsource.co.uk/slack-city/r...

- @trientertainment.bsky.social I can’t fathom why you’d think it’s a Swift movie, surely vastly better as a major Carpenter vehicle? She really *can* act, enough to carry a film. She’d be magic. Also Swift’s brand doesn’t need it - she has her real-life love story, it’d even confuse things.
