Much more pleasant than that awful Kathleen Stock monstrosity of an article. I might have to go see it. Great article. Always thought Suede from Dog Man Star to Coming Up would make a great play / biopic. If only there was a talented writer who has knowledge of the time to write it … please John!!
Thank you. That’s reassuring. And best of luck to your son
… to transpire. Dust ourselves off. Yet more never-ending battles ahead. Possibly against Reform’s world. Terrifying.
And as they call you to the eye of the storm…
Thanks John. Great article as always. If. If our son gets a-levels after (hopefully getting) his GCSEs (neither of which we never imagined possible before his EHCP), he might be going to university in September 2026. Losing the H part of the EHCP would be our main concern if that situation were…
Thanks Rory. Best wishes to you, dear boy!
Hope you received my email, Rory (and hope all’s well) 👍

Finished the Suede episodes yesterday. Great work, Rory. Analytical and personal. A pleasure to listen to it.
Lucky I didn’t contribute or it would have been a four parter! Looking forward to it…
Such a difficult question to answer. The album works so well in its entirety. Jumping from We Are The Pigs to Heroine to Wild Ones is such a strong trio. But if I absolutely had to pick: Asphalt World. It just soars…
Would be great to see you!

Beautiful, family moments…
Great pod, as always, Rory. Documenting an astonishing run of gigs. Shame I only got to one of them, but thanks to the (lucky) @theinsatiableones.bsky.social for talking us through all of them. Cannot wait until York in February!!
It is a bit Where’s Wally. Let’s see who can spot him 😂
Hey everyone!
The @suedehq.bsky.social quiz on bluesky is Coming Up this Saturday Night, the 27th. Just follow along here, it starts at 9pm. I wonder if there's been much happening in Suedeworld this month? 🤔😆 Repost to spread the word 🖤 @theinsatiableones.bsky.social
Also discovered this recently. Very good
And still is. But, yes, blub
I would have had it in 1993. At college, everyone got NME so I got MM to guarantee a swap and read both every week. Now I just have to remember who I swapped that specific one with, track them down, see if they’ve still got it and ask for it back - assuming they’ve hung onto it. Not sure that helps!

Wonderful. Thanks for sharing. Next time I want Neil and Brett doing the full Eno version. Completely sans 🎤
I sleuthed… that was someone else!
How wonderful for him!
Yes. Extraordinary that they have that (justified) level of confidence in their catalogue but also that they’re that well rehearsed that they can play 31 songs (I think) across two nights. By the way, is AJ Radd Andy who was talking to you when we met?
I count 8 songs we didn’t get???
Just looked. Asphalt World with just Neil!! Sadness in you / me!!! They don’t half know how to surprise us…
Fantastic! Would have loved to have been there, but at 50 and having to coach my son‘s football team every Sunday morning means that my 3 am Saturday nights are behind me! Enjoy the other shows. I hope they are even half as good as last night, because they will still be out of this world…
