Sainsburys home to the tiny cute blondes tonight. #
Actually, might just be the whole town. & not just tiny blondes. #
@SamShepherd Nu-uh… Barclays. HSBC were difficult to get hold of during the mortgage process, though! in reply to SamShepherd #
@el_matt Blimey… that's a bit ridiculous! That doesn't allow for people that work AT ALL. in reply to el_matt #
Now wondering whether @janeMOMB is doing this on purpose. "Are you turning into a smurf?" With HER track record with Smurfs, n'all! #
Oh, btw, morning all! #
@SamShepherd Oh my. I remember when Gordon was just a baby. Feel oddly proud! in reply to SamShepherd #
http://is.gd/84xKB – Still, after all this time, Massive Attack's Inertia Creeps feels like urgent drama & preparation… #
http://is.gd/84y0g – …the way Angel still feels like anticipation & dread. Not my 2 favourites on Mezzanine, but SO evocative. #
Think I've finally managed to unlock Noah & The Whale's 2nd album. Enjoying it a LOT more now. http://is.gd/84Cth … #
http://is.gd/84Cth – Noah & The Whale by way of Lloyd Cole & House Of Love. Once I recognised that, I started enjoying it more. #
@acheverton They're role-playing that you're a taxi, and they're skint. Tell them you don't go to that part of town. in reply to acheverton #
Ok, so finally I get to tweet about snow. Hooray. #
@JamesMOMB Not here, not yet. Just not as much of it now. in reply to JamesMOMB #
I kind of need a wee. #
Video: Yesterday, the internet was full of musical “ARG!” & “Wha?” Today it’s all “Hm?” & “Awww!” U900… http://tumblr.com/xi56b9vsm #
@SamShepherd AHAHAHAHA! "Is he died?" in reply to SamShepherd #
Video: Beaker’s Ballad Poor old Beaker. http://tumblr.com/xi56ba0n3 #
@Chris_TOMP @rolhirst It was like five seconds of snow, you guys. It's pretty, alright? I can't help you living in winter hinterlands! #
@stace_w Heh. Got S1 & 2 of B5 in unsealed DVD boxsets. Keep MEANING to open them up. Buffy, we're on S5. G1 3 eps away from Buffycide… in reply to stace_w #
@stace_w Uh… hang on… You have seen them before, right? in reply to stace_w #
@Butwin Is it something I said? in reply to Butwin #
@rolhirst Nope, even prettier than your arse! in reply to rolhirst #
@Butwin A kind of non-specifically targeted murder? I get that a lot… in reply to Butwin #
@stace_w G1 hasn't watched before! Prepped to nudge OH through the 1st season? It was weak, but worth persevering rather than dodging! in reply to stace_w #
Photo: John Allison says wrong things about Los Campesinos, on Hourly Comic Day. So it turns out that even… http://tumblr.com/xi56bbhi8 #
@stace_w G1 doesn't trust people to stay dead in Buffy or Angel. When Doyle died, she refused to believe me when I told her that was it… #
@stace_w …so you can imagine how she reacted initially to Joyce. in reply to stace_w #
@jupitusphillip God, people are rotten. Also, unwilling to stretch themselves beyond the obvious, easy gags. Also, rotten. in reply to jupitusphillip #
@kidbritishmusic WRONGWRONG. Got it the wrong way round. Most female mini drivers are good looking, but not all good looking girls have one! in reply to kidbritishmusic #
@bevismusson Thought that the second I mentioned it. But true enough, Joyce stayed dead – just visited! (Not like Cordy, who confused me!) in reply to bevismusson #
@bevismusson …The Fred thing was the worst – reflected in path Locke took in Lost. Somehow it's worse knowing they've been gone all along. in reply to bevismusson #
@bevismusson …As long as Acker was still there, it seemed like Fred might be back, but then it turned out she wouldn't. in reply to bevismusson #
I am unhappy that @jupitusphillip is unhappy. #
@JamesMOMB No, I think it's just getting started, as jokes go… It is our #MOMBcast joke, yo! in reply to JamesMOMB #
@JamesMOMB I don't like chocolate much, and am not a fan of those fake cheese slices! I can't even boycott the pain away! in reply to JamesMOMB #
@steevbishop I am holding off listening to that one, as I know the original so well & think it sounds like a Gabriel song already! in reply to steevbishop #
@steevbishop This is incredibly good, though – bleak versions, but lovely. Thanks, sir… in reply to steevbishop #
@charlottelydia I'm having a recurring problem with Southern Water for similar reasons, on a very old term of occupancy. in reply to charlottelydia #
@steevbishop Though hearing a Regina Spektor song without her idiosyncratic delivery is a little more surreal than I'd expected… in reply to steevbishop #
@steevbishop My fave was the guy who complains about there not being new material, than jisms about Gabriel et al doing old Genesis stuff… in reply to steevbishop #
@steevbishop …I get that it's a departure from his other stuff, but it's Gabriel… he's ALWAYS changing, isn't he? in reply to steevbishop #
Peter Gabriel "Scratch My Back" – Full Preview @ The Guardian – All covers, and some beautiful choices in… http://tumblr.com/xi56bdkv0 #
@Butwin Oh, nice… I'd have gone with some form of nerve gas, but the AK47 has a kind of classic traditional feel to it… in reply to Butwin #
@JamesMOMB I'd be nicer to you if you weren't such a delirious and unfettered munkaloid-head. in reply to JamesMOMB #
@rolhirst Yes! in reply to rolhirst #
@georgelondon The reality that they don't have a captive audience any more, & the landscape has changed… in reply to georgelondon #
@georgelondon …as you discovered yesterday, music industry has been all about skimming extra/artificially inflating income for years, now. in reply to georgelondon #
@georgelondon (By artificially inflating income, I mean using hype rather than quality to oversell on known brands, rather than just lying) in reply to georgelondon #
@georgelondon (…mind, they aren't above lying when it comes to the impact piracy apparently has on them…) in reply to georgelondon #
@JamesMOMB … Is a twat hearder someone who listens out for twats? And is illiterate? in reply to JamesMOMB #
@JamesMOMB Well, I mostly listen to twats. in reply to JamesMOMB #
@JamesMOMB …In the past. I am a twat hearder! in reply to JamesMOMB #
@georgelondon I'd argue that the publishers should have been looking out for the artists all this time, rather than gorging on profits… in reply to georgelondon #
@georgelondon …& that publishers changing to behaviours that didn't attack potential consumers wouldn't be changing it from an industry… in reply to georgelondon #
@georgelondon …But responding like one. Capitalism works by giving people what they want/will pay for, not expecting custom. in reply to georgelondon #
@georgelondon That point was: The music industry has spent last 10 years trying to stop people who wouldn't be buying their stuff anyway… in reply to georgelondon #
@georgelondon …at the expense of getting people who want to spend their money to spend it on their product. The money is out there… in reply to georgelondon #
@georgelondon …people are willing to spend it. They're spending it on games instead, right now. Music industry should be asking why. in reply to georgelondon #
@georgelondon Pretty sure @sulman isn't evangelising Apple there, cuz. in reply to georgelondon #

@georgelondon Are you down at the weekend? G1 is only around Friday night, but you're welcome to stay whole weekend. in reply to georgelondon #

@georgelondon Dude, they're totally easy to pirate for PC. Not difficult to pirate for consoles, either. Just not worth bothering with… in reply to georgelondon #
@georgelondon …they came up with the DRM for a reason, innit? in reply to georgelondon #
@georgelondon …but that's going off the point. The point is that people have the money, but aren't spending it on music. in reply to georgelondon #
My fave thing is when @charltonbrooker says something that the people on the clips then say straight afterwards… I mean REALLY love it! #
@georgelondon Well, if THAT'S what the conversation's about, I got nothing for ya! in reply to georgelondon #
