Today is the memorial for my friend, Julie. This piece comes closest to capturing what she was like in real life and a reminder to me to practice shamelessness.

26 January 1937 | A Dutch Jewish girl, Esther Polak, was born in Amsterdam.
She arrived at Auschwitz in a transport of 1010 Jews deported from Westerbork on 28 July 1942. She was murdered in the gas chamber after selection.

20 years ago today we lost Kirsty MacColl. Some write great songs, some are great singers, others are great to hang with, but you seldom find all three in the same person. But that's who Kirsty was and she is sorely missed by her family, friends and fans. youtube.com/watch?v=Wuzzw7el…

25 years ago this week Pulp placed this advert in the music press. It had the desired effect on a group of lads in a lower 6th common room at a school in Hitchin as @Themightyjones @nickglenn79 @GilesBentley and myself (plus a couple more) bought Wembley tickets.
Who else went?

Absolutely astonishing thread. Everything you ever wanted to know about SARS-CoV-2 vaccines: what stage they are at, how they are designed to work, and the likely timelines. Fabulous public service.

If David's up for it, I also hope to ask about his luminous book HOW MUSIC WORKS. 🎼I'm remembering this conversation already, and it hasn't even happened yet. Heaven is a Place where Memories Can't Wait. (Mic drop, @92Y punsters.)
And you may ask yourself...what is that beautiful talk? It's David Byrne (@DBtodomundo) + @david_mitchell on July 14! Talking music, writing, the creative life and Mitchell's new book about a fictional rock band, Utopia Avenue. Join them: 92y.org/event/david-mitchell…

"Arbeit macht frei" was a false, cynical illusion the SS gave to prisoners of #Auschwitz. Those words became one of the icons of human hatred. It's painful to see this symbol instrumentalized & used again to spread hate. It's a symptom of moral & intellectual degeneration.
