Be so good to everyone you love. It’s not a given. I’m so annoyed that it’s not. I didn’t live by that standard and it kills me. Please, hug your loved ones.

These are my favourite albums of all the albums. They’re not in order because to put these things in order would be ridiculous. Listen to all of them from start to finish at some point.

What a man what a man what a man what a mighty good man! Cheers Frank!
Listening through to @owljohn ‘s Mastersystem album (again). Absolute genius, one of the records of the year for sure.

Can I now safely say that I have the honour of playing the Hearts song before the match at Tynecastle tomorrow? I might need a council inspector to check me out. .

If you have ever been through a low-point in life I'm certain you'll understand. If you haven't, you are a lucky bastard.

Just did the thing where I clearly posted from one twitter account and then almost immediately retweeted the information via this more popular account. Don’t care. Get the @mstrsystm album on Friday, or else.

If my guitar is reading this, I hope you are safe and in a good place. I think you may live out the rest of your days in South Africa.
Good morning @FlySafair I'd really like an answer regarding the whereabouts of my Martin D-28, which YOU lost between Johannesburg and CT.

But I sought entirely the wrong attention. If you're suffering, turn to your friends and family. Call someone, anyone.

Dream remembered from last night: I play an FR song on acoustic guitar for a crew of breakdancers to “get down” to, but I can’t remember the words so I make up a really bad final chorus for Holy. Sounds like my dream is Justin Timberlake’s reality now.

Hey guys guys guys I know it’s only just been released today and all, but when do you think the hip folks will start shortening it to ‘The System’? Tomorrow? Anyways, read this. Thanks Tom!

On the plus side I have a greater appreciation of the pitfalls of mixing alcohol, depression and social media.

Unfortunately that's what I did. In spite of this, it's not the end of FR and in the sober light of day, I didn't believe the things I said.

My theory is that the first album you hear by a band you fall in love with is the one that stays with you. I heard Plans before Transatlanticism so, there you have it.
@owljohn Some magic choices there (the hubby will be delighted there’s a Hold Steady in there) but I simply HAVE to put Transatlanticism a wee bit ahead of Plans. But only a tiny bit.

Sometimes there are more important things than playing shows and we wouldn't be pulling out if we didn't think it was necessary.

I don’t think it’s terrible, I just think it could have been so much better. Totally my fault. We had so little time thanks to the 2 year Organ Fight tour. That tour could have gone on forever. Actually, maybe it did.
@owljohn Firstly, that album is absolutely superb. Secondly, how it even possible to write something so good so quickly!?.
