YIKES -- Trump loses his shit at a reporter for the third time during this Q&A -- "Wait wait -- Quiet. Quiet!!!! What's wrong with you? Are you a SICK person?"

My new book out in the wild. Nice little display at Macclesfield’s finest independent bookshop, the Quiet Cat. They have signed editions too..

Legend, on Princess St, was hired #otd 19th Oct 1988 for the filming of Happy Monday's 'Wrote For Luck' video; a basement club that had once served as a bomb shelter & later known as 5th Avenue. From 2018, my article on the making & significance of the video... ilovemanchester.com/how-a-strobe...

Excellent evening in Glasgow at @waterstonesargyle.bsky.social discussing my new book ‘Creative Journeys’ and chattering to Stephen from @thepastels.bsky.social

Loved exploring the evolution of club culture, the challenges of sustaining a creative career and what it means to curate both a crowd and a legacy. In the interview we discuss community, collaboration and the moments on and off the decks that have defined my journey open.spotify.com/episode/0Xxx...

In 'Creative Journeys', @davehaslam.bsky.social presents revelatory conversations w/ creative icons & explains the strategies behind his most illuminating interviews. Available from @bookshop-org-uk.bsky.social: uk.bookshop.org/p/books/crea... Signed copies available from select retailers. #booksky

Reform UK councillors and candidates filmed making graphic threats of extreme violence, expressing racist and misogynistic views. Bromley councillor calling for King Charles to be killed. That's the kind of people Reform attracts. It has normalized hatred. What would a Reform govt unleash?

TONIGHT (Thursday) in Glasgow, Waterstones (Argyle Street) talking about my new book 'Creative Jouirneys' with special guests Stephen McRobbie from The Pastels. Starts 7pm. £5 in advance or on the door.

Well, that’s going on my wish list, to add to a ridiculously large bookshelf of books about music (though the interviewees are not just musicians but writers, poets, & more) You can pre-order in the US via Target (I’ll get mine in London next month) I love how many post-punk legends are here….

The honesty, good humour and willingness to go deep among these interviewees is just so heroic. Honoured to have chatted with them.
