I'm on the top deck of the bus which means, as always when on the top deck of the bus, I think of @LukeHaines_News

It's a new year which, obviously, means revisiting past glories which, perhaps not so obviously, means shouting out that Ten Short Songs For Modern Lovers by @AidanJohnMoffat is the greatest nine minute album you'll ever hear

I'm not even "that" drunk but I've just asked for a Tanqueray and Vodka... To be fair that might be an alright drink

Seriously @GWRHelp! Your 2033 out of Oxford is almost 30mins late but you can't be bothered to hold the 2114 from Didcot for even a couple of minutes meaning everyone waits at least 25mins for the next train. Shameful!

Despite having it on compact disc for many many years I am stupidly happy that today I bought The Faust Tapes on "UK original LP" vinyl

I'm at that level of semi-drunk where I think, after a few pints of cask, a pint of fizzy keg will freshen me back up 😂

Only planned on having a swift one in this pub but when the stereo is playing Sly & The Family Stone, Funkadelic, Gil Scott-Heron, et al you gotta stay for at least a second pint

... Following on from that: I know Curtis Mayfield is quite highly rated but I still sometimes think he is atrociously underrated

I love Home Again by the Auteurs on New Wave but after Early Years it almost sounds like an extra free bonus track... But, actually, I kinda think it's Early Years that doesn't belong... Ah, fuck it, in New Wave @LukeHaines_News as created possibly the greatest debut of all time

Just listened to the four Auteurs (@LukeHaines_News) albums in reverse order... It was a fucking immense joy!

Perhaps my most favourite thing about @LukeHaines_News is that when I play his music my partner of almost 20 years feels the need to say 'I hate you playing Luke Haines even more than I hate you playing Neil Young' 😂

Despite the fact I think he'd hate the suggestion, as I listen to How I Learned To Love The Learn Bootboys I can't help thinking @LukeHaines_News is, arguably, England's most underrated and overlooked singer and songwriter

Today I saw a car called a Grandland, which reminded me that for quite a long time I thought, despite seeing them a fair few times, the @weddingpresent had a song called Grandadland 😂

In the world of beer there's not (m)any things more disappointing than walking into a Fuller's pub, seeing an ESB pump clip, ordering a pint then being told it's just finished 😢

I'm a big Neil Young fan. Huge fan. But really all you really need is his Unplugged album.

I've probably said it before but it's worth repeating: @SirenCraftBrew Broken Dream on cask is one of the finest beers ever created... And it's even tastier when the pub stereo is playing Pablo Picasso by The Modern Lovers

I should really think about charging beer folk to advertise on my bag. Currently living rent free are @cloudwaterbrew @pelliclemag @BoakandBailey

I've no idea if Raven IPA is a subtle variation of another @ArborAles beer but even if it is you should still get your ass to @theravenofbath to drink it in situ

In case there was any doubt @_Nightingales were an absolute out and out joy this evening in Preston...

Last night's tweet praising @_Nightingales has just been liked by the @newcontinental, which has reminded me that part of the reason I enjoyed last night so much is because the staff, food, beer and general vibe of the Conti was as great as the band. Love and respect. Cheers!
