SURPRISE: the new Eureka Machines single ‘Back In The Back Of Beyond’, the first single from our upcoming sixth album, is out now. Ace video from our old pal @AshTVMusicVideo - watch it, share it, love it. Thank you. X.

Leeds Festival Saturday was so brilliant - Chappell Roan was predictably 11/10 and Hozier was surprisingly excellent, with some excellent tunes and great political sentiments. Soft Play and The Linda Lindas dead good too. Ace. X.

What do you want to know?.

Pal of mine in the pub told me about his new band tonight. And I absolutely loved it, so you should too. ‘This Love’ by @fakefameband. For fans of rock n’ roll old and new. From Bad Company to Greta Van Fleet via a bit of Elton and Queen. Top stuff.

Thanks for all the Hozier recommendations - I like it - I’m not sure how it’ll translate live but I guess we’ll find out on Saturday! X.

We’re going to see Chappell Roan at #LeedsFestival at the weekend. Ace, I can’t wait. Hozier is also playing and I know nothing about him. Any recommendations?. Or anyone else playing the Saturday that you’d recommend? X.

Ahh would ya look at this. All Me-Related Tattoos Retweeted. Thanks Franzi. X.

#Dexter is such a good mix of Actually Totally Brilliant and also Kind Of A Bit Naff and very often Well Cheesy but also still Really Ace.

Honestly Series 8 of Dexter, it’s so, so, so, SO ridiculous, it’s absolutely brilliant. X.

I brought one of my American friends to my favourite curry house Sheesh Mahal in Leeds, where - as is tradition - they have some photos up of famous people who’ve visited. He goes ‘oh that’s cute… do all restaurants here display a picture of your Prime Minister?’. Do zoom in.

In completely other news, the final couple of series of ‘Dexter’ (the normal one) is the greatest stoner viewing of all time ever.

PS I’m sorry that postage - especially overseas - is expensive. It’s just what it costs, sadly.

Anyway, here’s a tune for you all, this is truly one of the best-written songs of all time, it’s perfect in every way. Another Night In - Strangelove. X.

It’s difficult to sum up in a tweet, but… doing things that give you energy is good. Being informed is important - activism too - but it’s harder to keep on top of that without any energy to do so. We don’t always get the balance right, but we do what we can, don’t we. X.

Here’s an interview with Eureka Machines. X.

(And apologies, that’s what happens when you do seventeen things at once while on a tour, not least including being a bit hungover).

The only place where success comes before work is in the dictionary.

Something I forgot to say the other day re my new Bandcamp one ‘Something’. Big thanks to the maestro @voltadave Draper for his ears and his mastering expertise. Thanks as ever Dave, and bands, if you need anything mastering or mixing - he’s your guy. X.
