Domestic bliss, the pressures of fame, wild swimming. All this and more in my chat with @futureislands for @guardianmusic. theguardian.com/music/2020/o…
Clearer than ever that @elonmusk and @realDonaldTrump are facists. @Nigel_Farage too.

So, @Eurovision 2024 is coming to #Malmö you say, where I live?
Who wants me to cover it for them?
Citeh fans celebrating like this means something …..grow a pair and own up to financial doping. You’ve cheated this like you’ve cheated everything else. So pipe down. #cheats
Wrote the bio for my all time favs @dEUSbe’s new album, which is really very good.

Belgian art-rockers @dEUSbe are back with ‘How To Replace It’, their first album in 10 years and they can’t wait to play it live for you as they embark on their tour across Europe this March & April!

Hey @TicketmasterCS, 2 hours I’ve been trying to get your chat bot to work - no agents, been cut off TWICE, endlessly filling in the same info, and STILL no response to an urgent query. How can I talk to an ACTUAL PERSON????
Yes, I can confirm - Swedish people *do* feed their guests. #Swedengate is absolute nonsense. nytimes.com/2022/06/02/world…
Pseudo-intellectual “critics” take note - THIS is how you should interview St. Vincent.
Wonderful profile for @ClashMagazine by the always brilliant @matthewgneale. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 clashmusic.com/features/the-…
Off to #London to see one of my very favourite bands, @Grandaddy, play one of my very favourite albums, The Sophtware Slump. Anyone I know going, or around in Soho tonight for 🍜 and/or 🍻?
Such sad news about @chromatics - Kill For Love is an astoundingly good record. Was so special when they played both @Primavera_Sound & @SonarFestival the same summer, 'Lady' soundtracking midnight cab rides through the city.
Back when travel was “a thing”, I went to Berlin to watch @Balmorheamusic record their new LP for @ClashMagazine. The album is out now, and it’s stunningly good. clashmusic.com/features/hush…
"I’ve kind of lost my mind."
Interviewed @ghostboyspooky for @level about lockdown lethargy, lo-fi recording, and looking forward to a new Roaring Twenties. blog.levelmusic.com/spookygh…
It would be nice if, just occasionally, some of these publications actually asked people who live & work in Sweden to write about such topics, instead of someone just looking at stats and spreadsheets. There's so much that criticism like this misrepresents & gets wrong.
My piece below looks at Sweden. Recent days have seen Sweden’s Nordic neighbours Finland and Norway offer emergency medical assistance as Stockholm’s hospitals overflow & the King make an unprecedented criticism of the failed strategy. What went wrong?

Wonder how many other big tours and re-arranged dates will get cancelled next year? Or festivals? So much for 2021 being about "getting back to normal". nickcave.com/tour-dates/
Honored to be a pundit again for this year’s #SoundOf2021. Some good stuff on the list, even though my picks didn’t make the cut. bbc.co.uk/programmes/article…
Interesting. And very skewed by what I’ve been working on.
