Giving thanks to Frank Turner for all the music. This year I couldn’t stop listening to I Still Believe. #SpotifyWrapped open.spotify.com/artist/27M9shm…

@PaulieStewart First time I saw The Pogues was at a bar in Fremantle. MacGowan made it through two songs, vomited on the people in the front and staggered off. Band kept playing. I was hooked!

@JasonIsbell One of the greatest songwriters ever. A small example: You fill my sweetest dreams You fill my sleep You fill my heart with love You make my life complete When all is said and done Darling I know you're the one

@annabelcrabb Generally speaking I love your work Annabel. Not going to watch anything with Dutton in it though. Well, maybe "Kitchen Defenestrations".

I bloody love @annabelcrabb and her not regular enough ABC Politics newsletter. This line in today's offering had my milkshake coming out both nostrils: "It's been a hectic week, but the Coalition's standing among pro-nuclear Jewish pharmacists has never been higher."

@WhellumAnthony @thefrontbar7 The correct answer. Another great one from that era was Ricky Barham v Wayne Schimmelbusch.

@CrispinFresch @PreetBharara After the first two eps of Season 4, it feels like Barry's writers have backed themselves into a corner. If they don't get him out of jail in ep 3, I'm done.

@JasonIsbell Felt privileged to see both of these guys perform at Byron last night. Two excellent shows @frankturner Still can't get past @SeagullsBand as my highlight of the first three days though. Kippis!

@ElvisCostello Rats. The silver lining ('cos it's all about me) is that now I don't have to miss Nathaniel Rateliff tomorrow night 🙃 Hope you all recover well.

Just catching up on the latest @RocKwiz ep. The Meg Washington / Ben Lee duet at the end has to be one of the all time greats (and that's saying something). @WASHINGTONx @benleemusic

@jabso @billybragg Raises an interesting point about what's the definition of a cover. I'd argue that those songs are to a very large extent Billy's creations. Anyway, Billy righted it tonight with "I Heard Smoke On The Water Through The Grapevine". Cracking show tonight.

@DannyDeraney I don't really know why, but my answer is "Space Trucking" by Deep Purple 🤔

@OzKitsch Not sure how the ranking system works but I don't think I want to see #1-22. Oh boy.

@TracyWesterman There's also lots of research that suggests our negativity bias is adaptive, i.e. if we're a little bit cautious and reserved, we're less likely to stumble into danger.
