This is a fascinating story.
What the shock collapse of a Catford cinema says about the state of the capital’s cultural scene… all you have to do is follow the breadcrumbs on a pan-London trail of debt. Read more here: https://t.co/BBd3Iv3EdJ

Super cool to see the new @ElectronicMagUK with my first ever byline in it – talking about the Valentina and NĂdia album which is a must listen

This is kind of weird. I don't think I've ever seen the inside-writing term "second mention" in a general piece of journalism. She's breaking down the fourth wall but also rolling her eyes about having to write "the yellow metal," in a piece about gold investors. #copyediting

A change of plans for me this weekend means I'm able to make this great looking adventurous music event, happening this very lunchtime in Leytonstone. Recommended.

Also is a remarkable piece by @rogatchevski on the amazing IVTKYGYG and the Lithuanian post-Soviet underground rock scene that comes highly recommended (by me).

This is a great story.
Mark Wastell relates how he came to own John Stevens's bass drum, 30 years after it disappeared. Wastell will be using the drum, together with Maggie Nicols and others, at the John Stevens: Another Little Life celebration tonight at London’s @Cafeoto

Had a lot of fun and listening writing this piece on Autechre’s mighty live catalogue for @theQuietus
thequietus.com
Autechre's gigs don't feature 'the hits'. The duo treat the gig as a space of creation, and their live LPs have become among their best work

Before I started working at OTO 10 yrs back I was a club booker & used to DJ an absolute ton, & I probably had more of a kinship to dance music than "experimental music". Having OTO's forays into the dancefloor recognised her by @derekwalmsley means a lot.
