Clearer than ever that @elonmusk and @realDonaldTrump are facists. @Nigel_Farage too. huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/is-elon-…

Wrote the bio for my all time favs @dEUSbe’s new album, which is really very good.

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/wor…

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-d…

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/spookyghostboy…

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.

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/art…
