Doing a live video thing tomorrow. Hope the new bass player fits it.... youtu.be/NsuGek8WNUsThe Jesus and Mary Chain make their U.S. television debut on Letterman in 92 and perform "Far Gone And Out".
Probably my favourite Sparklehorse album 'Good morning spider' was released twenty years ago today. This track from our album was written for Mark Linkous, one of the greatest songwriters (and producers) there ever was.

So grateful to Shadowlark for inviting us to play Oporto for Independent Venue Week (and for their launch of their new, monthly night 'Contact') and it was just so great to flesh out newer songs with the full band again (welcome to Jonathan from Hidden Giants too). Ace to catch Lazy Day (solo) also! Thanks to all of those who came out to see us (and even sing along). Let's do this again soon! @ Oporto
Next gig (Wednesday at Oporto, Leeds)is going to be a special one as we've got a new line-up and a new set plus it's the first time we've done the full band thing in months. Excited to see @lazydaylazyday and @shadowlarkmusic (who kindly invited us) too. Hopefully see a bunch of you down there! #leedslivemusic #oporto #fullband #contact #newmusic
Absolutely wonderful evening of music shared with People Poems tonight. Thank you to all that showed up and packed out HEART - Headingley Enterprise and Arts Centre - what a special venue. @ HEART - Headingley Enterprise and Arts Centre
Really excited to share the bill @headingleyheart with @harry_orme of @peoplepoems fame on the 22nd. He is an exceptional musician and writer and if you haven't seen him before I can't recommend it enough (joined by @matthewaplin too just to make it even more special). Doors at 8pm and we both get 45 minutes to sink our teeth into which is a bonus - will be sneaking a couple of new bits into set I think! PAYF - Come along!
Happy New Year!

Thanks finally to all who have come out to see me/us play this year. All the very best. MS X
We have started recording a new record so expect something new from us in 2019!
Andy Armitage - couldn't tag you either but loved The Purple Room night - very intimate that one!!
Can't wait to hear the new record!
Tom Skelly - couldn't find The Cool Seas to tag either but that Hull show was a great night!
Alice Trifunovic - tried for ages to tag you but gave up! But you know I'm a fan!
Had a very special time sharing the stage with Great Lake Swimmers tonight at Brudenell Social Club in the community room. Lovely band - they played a sublime set and their kind words meant such a lot. Audience, sound and venue all first rate tonight - a perfect way to cap off the year in which we gained (at least) 26 fans on Spotify. #takingovertheworld

It's a hard slog recording yourself ay?
Sounds like a winner?

@zebedeebudworth might look kind of evil here but it was such a pleasure to play alongside him once more last night and to play so many songs we've never performed together before. @jim.adams.art opened up and took us on voyage that we've been raving about ever since and @melostme was every bit as terrifyingly awesome as her album would suggest - lovely people too. Great venue, promoters and audience - thank you to all who made it down! 👍 @ The Audacious Art Experiment
Friday eve Sheffield! Zeb and I will be playing a bunch of songs that we've never performed as a duo. Could be a little shambolic (we'll aim for 'charming') but fear not though as we have the incredibly talented @melostme and the inimitable @jim.adams.art sharing the bill too! Looking forward to this one!
What an absolute pleasure to play a hometown house concert last night. Loved sharing the wooden table with @stephensonrich (finally seen you play mate!!) and @paveyarkband - quality music and company. @ Hornsea
