Felt very much yesterday how I felt when I was abandoned in the early summer of '99 by a now-famous Plath scholar. It happened in Washington DC and my only refuges were bookshops, the National Gallery of Art and nature. Get yourself back, then proceed...

NEW: Good news for Londoners, visitors and businesses: the planned tube strikes for this Thursday and next week have been suspended. This shows the difference that engaging with our trade unions makes.

I am devastated and heart broken over the loss of Quincy Jones. He changed music and with that he changed the world. He inducted Public Enemy into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. He is already greatly missed. And he is even more loved. My deepest sympathies to his family. 🙏🏾

Folklore then. Taylor Swift's 8th album is brilliant. That's it. I don't have much else to add. It stands up to almost anything I've heard this century yet could come from 30, 40, 50 years ago. I'm not going to tell you all "you must hear this". I'm just so glad I found it.

One day, @BBCRadio3 will play some serialist/12-tone music again. Until then, @BBCRadio4 makes the case for Schoenberg in this sweet programme, which makes a very good case for the music he pioneered bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0022k…

The incursion of Jazz into Soul has NEVER been seen clearly. It’s been denigrated & unacknowledged- because of 2 debilitating factors. Dismissal of Soul/R&B by Jazz musicians, & “Jazz is weird and doesn’t sell” by Soul/R&B ppl. Forest missed for trees.

My advice, for what it’s worth: try not to be distracted by the faintly discourteous, the mildly incompetent, the harmlessly obnoxious. Roll with the delayed trains, dropped litter and misused apostrophes. Save your powder for the truly malevolent creatures now stalking the land.

Coltrane, & his journey affected MUCH more than Jazz. There’s no Earth, Wind & Fire 🔥 without him, or Grover Washington, or Gil Scot Heron, of JB’s SuperBad. And on and on. Everybody Loves The Sunshine, as far as that is from A Love Supreme, on the surface, also doesn’t exist.
