I have written a new book about everybody's two favourite things: Paul McCartney and the 1990s. It's called OFF THE GROUND: PAUL MCCARTNEY IN THE 1990s. Published by Reaktion Books 1/10/24 >>> ✌️👍✌️👍 reaktionbooks.co.uk/work/off-the-g… #paulmccartney #offtheground #musicbooks #beatlesbooks
Buzz Osborne of Melvins continues to champion Lou Reed and Metallica. All hail LULU. #buzzknows @thecreativeindp thecreativeindependent.com/people/musicia…
Another Lulu convert. #jobdone #electricwizardsbook #loutallica ⚡️🧙♂️
I love it!! I have this book. I continue to learn a lot from him. For example, past days, I enjoy the álbum "Lulu" by Metalica and Lou Reed. Thanks, friend for your appreciation of music.
Chilezzy on Ozzy! One’s a God in his field who wouldn’t think twice about making a urinal of The Alamo, and the other one’s Ozzy. (Etc.) theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
The one time I saw Black Sabbath, I wrote about Babymetal instead. thequietus.com/quietus-review… Sabbath’s performance was seared in the memory, of course, so I reflected on it in Electric Wizards. #RIPOzzy ⚡️ 🧙♂️ ❤️
Godspeed, Ozzy Osbourne. Heavy music would not be anywhere near the same without you.⚡️🧙♂️🙏❤️🦇 @OzzyOsbourne @BlackSabbath
Watch out, THE SYSTEM. Biohazard have got it in for you. Surely your days are numbered now, SYSTEM. They’ve even put asterisks in the title’s swear word to reach as widely as Biohazard can. I’d be seriously concerned right now if I was THE SYSTEM.
Hardcore veterans Biohazard have announced Divided We Fall, their first new album in 13 years. Plus, they've scheduled a fall North American tour. Listen to their latest single, "F**k the System" → cons.lv/jvoqzT
Darren’s new song is very moving and I can assure you the album will be too.
A nice review of Nobody You’d Know from my new album. full review in Record Collector. Pre-order the album from hefnet.com (there are also about three copies of this cassette single there too)
Who is the Gordon Ramsay of bands? (Gesticulates violently, swears more often than is necessary, insists on a short and focused menu.)
Who is the Malcolm Gladwell of bands (proclaimed by clydes as genius, but actually just very adept at marketing their basic-bitch ideas to an undemanding audience)?
Can someone let @nytimes know I am available for the position of Chief Popular Music Critic? Too few adverbs in that paper, for starters. #shakeup
Thanks to Oliver for his Electric Wizards recommendation in the EARTH section here. Much appreciated! ⚡️🧙♂️✊🪨 @drcarlsonalbion @earthseattle @reaktionbooks reaktionbooks.co.uk/work/electric-… #DRONE

Brilliant book. Dip back in on the regular. About time I gave it a full re-read. Interviewed JD for @DrownedinSound when the audiobook came out. That Q&A is also worth a re-read, IMO. #JRMvsJD drownedinsound.com/in_depth/41500…
Seeing as people are posting about an anniversary rerun of Live Aid, here’s a cheeky endnote from Off The Ground. I remember my copy-editor commenting “He sure does.” 😆 #readtheendnotes #liveaid
Might as well post a page from Off The Ground while another Oasis discussion is going down. Read all about how Paul McCartney astutely kept the Britpop scene at arm’s length. (And more!) @reaktionbooks reaktionbooks.co.uk/work/off-the-g…

Rough Trade just ranked Pavement’s albums! Do you agree with the list? What’s your personal ranking?
54 years ago, @BlackSabbath released 'Master of Reality.' Today, Jenn D’Eugenio of @womeninvinyl has 54 variants in her collection. #Vinylogue
