Also! I realised I've not posted this here. The paperback of The Sound of Being Human! A book by a woman about all kinds of music which has some pretty nice quotes on it (& inside it). Now with added Ruth Jones and Brett Anderson (am planning that dream dinner). Out 2 Feb 2023. https://t.co/6lHaromgYz

(I also found out after this podcast that he was one of the first readers of Paul McCartney's The Lyrics, so am alerting @GeoffLloyd to this fact - and reminding any @thebeatles nuts out there that there's also a Geoff episode of Songbook too... https://t.co/ccB2NfuWoN )

An absolute delight for me and a total indulgence to interview one of my favourite ever writers and my first mentor at the much-missed wonderful The Word magazine, Paul Du Noyer, about Nik Cohn's classic Awopbopaloobop Alopbamboom. https://t.co/DUqDFv5CPt

Out of stock

Oh, Raymond Briggs. I interviewed him twice on his landline phone: he was such a dry, lovely, grumpy, funny man. The first time was about David Bowie and The Snowman. The way he describes Bowie is wonderful. https://t.co/yQuxtIzbQF https://t.co/tvKvKKKPSF

Now there's a real leader who's a woman (etc): this celebration of Carrie Fisher's brilliance as a writer, and Postcards From The Edge, published 35 years ago, is a proper treat. <3 (Attention, @MarkHamill, you'll like this.) https://t.co/iem77tyRGl

And here's what else we discussed today (it's half term...now that I have time to write it...): of course, @coseyfannitutti's brilliant books Re-Sisters and Art Sex Music, (@FaberBooks), Quantum Listening by Pauline Oliveros (@IgnotaBooks), Sound Within Sound by @KateMolleson...

@signor_piccolo @HarrietWads @spiderwomanyeah Pharrell Williams’ Happy & Rule The World by Take That are the ultimate happiness songs for all ages!

The best book I've read for a long time is @MrLeeLawrence's Costa Biography Award winner, The Louder I Will Sing. I'm urging all you to read it: it's the story of a much-loved mother told by her son, fleshing out who she was, who they were, and what they loved together.
