Credit: Jason Williamson / Line of Best Fit ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED ON THE LINE OF BEST FIT For an 18-year old drummer on his way to university, Spencer Tweedy has already generated plenty of column inches. But the most interesting words to be found about his fledgling musical career come from Spencer himself. “I am in […]
Skip to content In the absence (at the time of writing) of any real team updates or press conferences from either of the two managers involved in our game tomorrow, I thought I’d do my bit of weekly snooping to see what the vibe is amongst the Geordies, ahead of our game against them tomorrow […]
One of the most palpable influences on tonight’s headliner’s work is Darren Hayman and the various musical vehicles he’s occupied over the years. It’s a treat, then, to see Hayman and his Long Parliament support tonight. Hayman himself, decked out in oversized blazer and scholarly specs could have been cryogenically awakened from his 90s heyday, […]
Skip to content One more day to go until the big showdown against Liverpool and the managers have both had their say. So, what have we learned? From Arteta As usual on the injury front, not a lot really, but I think none of us expected to get any real detail to be honest. On […]
The clock is approaching midnight on Friday. Cosmo Sheldrake, a 24 year-old Londoner, is playing a blinder of a set to a few thousand people in an aircraft hangar outside Rennes in the northwest of France. It’s not a name familiar to most people’s ears and, admittedly, not one we had encountered before we saw […]

East India Youth – Total Strife Forever Pop, psychedelia, prog and electronica all meet here, on an album which sounds more interesting the more I play it – there’s just so much going on. I was intrigued to see William Doyle perform his material live and wasn’t disappointed when he proved to be one of […]
Skip to content Ok so it looks like Rice is safe from injury, following playing (and scoring) last night in the England game against Finland. I didn’t bother watching it, I wasn’t interested in it, I’ve just checked in to see the score and see some of the goals and Rice’s one was a classic […]
British Sea Power – From the Sea to the Land Beyond OST I’ve been a massive BSP fan since their wonderful debut 11 years ago, but have taken a special interest in their more leftfield projects since watching them perform a live soundtrack to Man Of Aran, a silent, black and white movie, in the […]
Skip to content Oh god how I hate these interminable international breaks. It feels like, for this season in particular, they were sent to try us Arsenal fans, as Saka limped off last night in England’s pointless 2-1 defeat to Greece. Honestly, I wish international football was just fired in to the sun. I suppose […]
