Well, I'm done. And I hit the 3,000 word mark. Whoopsie.

I've written 2,500 words for a *thing* and I am still not done. I'm not even close. Please send hugs and caffeinated beverages.

Me to all the Static Dress fans in Germany who saw them play Welcome In this weekend https://t.co/1vSzHBh8Mp

For some reason, when eating my lunch, my mind drifted to the book I could write one day. I have ideas. I promise I'll use at least one. I need to be a bigger journalist first, but I will Do The Book. Multiple, if I'm lucky.

Emma Wilkes @emmabwilkes

I have wanted to write a book of some sort since I was about 10 years old. I have promised my younger self I will follow that through. Now, I've got a novel idea and a handful of non-fiction ideas. Am I going to end up Doing The Book... soonish?

They did it at Rock Im Park - with what I'm guessing is a shorter version of their Download setlist - so I can only assume they saw this tweet 👀

Sleep Token have the opportunity to do the coolest thing ever and open their Download headline set with Look To Windward

RT @Lucaswoodland: i know social awareness can take time, but what is going on in gaza right now is unbelievable. i cannot believe the numb…

Amen. The glass ceiling remains depressingly real.

So few women reviewing big album releases/opening nights of late - and feels v marked this week. It’s sad, boring and shows such a lack of imagination and willingness to see women as equals in this industry (still). Sigh.

This! Definitely give your time to the new @Kaonashipa album today 😊

Hidden Mothers @hiddenmothersuk

Obviously it's new Turnstile day and that's very important but don't let the new @Kaonashipa pass you by!

I go to my first Glastonbury this month. Deftones and Charli XCX are playing back to back on the same stage. I've seen this described as 'Defti XCX' and 'My Own Brat Summer' and I love it

I've been hoping to interview @amiraelfekyy for ages and I got to make it happen in the new print issue of @KerrangMagazine, talking building a community around mental health and why she doesn't consider herself a nu metal revivialist: https://t.co/geU2TIRsbe

Shout out to the delivery driver who showed up to my house in a band shirt, provoking this exchange: "Nice shirt!" Upon seeing my Sleep Token longsleeve: "You too!"

RT @riseagainst: Keep your homophobia out of our revolution please. 🙏🏼  #pride https://t.co/vxPlPtA3Ra

One of the best things about my job is that, in interviews, I frequently get to hear so many other people's different ideas and perspectives on the world. Sometimes, it makes me rethink my own. There's a lot of artists who have inspired me in ways beyond music. 😊

This year I've seen live music in London, Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds, Cardiff, Hatfield, Portsmouth and also, for some reason, Stevenage

Happy Pride Month to all the amazing queer and trans folks out there. I'm with you, always. And in a time where the threats to the queer community's hard-earned progress are so grave, allies - we've got to fight even harder. 🌈

I'm sharing this just to annoy everyone on the TL who has been hating on pesto this week (you're all wrong)

Fesshole🧻 @fesshole

Just ate an entire jar of basil pesto with a spoon. My god, I've never felt so alive.

2025 has already been a rubbish year for band break-ups and yet it is getting worse 😱

State of the Scene @SOTSPodcast

Stray From The Path have announced that new album Clockworked will be their last. "The four of us, Anthony, Craig, Drew and Tom, have been touring together as a unit for almost 10 years, and now it feels like the right time to put the band to rest." https://t.co/RLmBYrjpDO
