Blimey tough 24 hours for indie music. RIP Martin Duffy. If you listen to, attend, make and/or release music do it to the max…life’s too short…it’s been a hard old year 😢

@arcadefire @osheaga Please postpone/cancel this tour for everyone’s sake. Feeling incredibly uncomfortable about going in light of revelations but no signs of @TicketmasterUK offering refunds or venues @TheO2 and @AOArena pulling the shows. Whatever ‘the truth’ it’s just not doable as a fan

Drive in gigs. Possibly the Least environmentally friendly and poor experiences ever. Let’s instead support grass roots venues, and safe, reduced attendance gigs to build from the ground up in a sustainable way.

Just thinking. If you’re gonna join @Tim_Burgess Going Blank Again listening party @rideox4 tonight, why not stream it on Apple, Spotify etc rather than spinning it? That way the band gets paid, you don’t have to turn it over three times & you won’t get caught out by 45pm speed!
