Top decision of 2024? Maybe making the slow transition away from the cesspit Twitter has become and exploring the alternatives (BlueSky, Threads). Not sure which will do best but I’m sick of the blue tick clickbait around here…

Replying to @DanielPCarter
@DanielPCarter as we’re getting to that time of year when fave album lists are getting drawn up, I thought I should really be sharing this album by @BLOODMERIDIANuk - it might well end up in my top 5. Definite Tool vibes. Get on “I/Onward” if anything.

So sad. I only twigged reading the comments today that he was behind the @ENTERSHIKARI video for “Hello Tyrannosaurus, Meet Tyrannicide”. A man of many talents.
This is extremely sad. Jonathan was an absolute legend of the Darwen music scene and instrumental in helping new bands and artists get a foot in the door. He will be missed by many. From all of us at the LT - RIP
