Reposting this for 2 reasons. The paper that sent me flowers + threat when Paula died? The Mail. Also a piece about the new lawsuit quotes a source saying the case isn't 'about a load of moaning celebrities'. Dehumanise celebrities, dehumanise everyone theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2…

Here, for context, is something I wrote about Paula on the 20th anniversary of her death: catherinemayer.co.uk/post/2020-visi… My message to the media (yes, I'm part of this vital and horribly flawed beast): do better #PaulaYates #lovelydead

Thread. And it's November not October

23 years ago, after years of unwedded bliss, andygillmusic and I did this and it was marvellous, like Andy. Our wedding also produced the strangest image ever to run in OK! Magazine, me and a bunch of friends standing on Alexei Sayle #lovelydead #lovelyliving #weddinganniversary

*KLAXON* (Now why does that klaxon sound like guitar feedback?)
Also *THREAD*

Lorelei King💛 The National Covid Memorial Wall But I hope nowhere near andygillmusic who was arachnophobic to a hilarious degree

Here’s my godson with andygillmusic 💗🖤

A better photo of my godson singing at #queensfuneral , the furthest to the left in the line-up of red-clad choristers.

Mourning isn’t always solemn. It’s about the whole person, the whole life, the whole loss. Inviting anyone mourning at this time of national mourning to post photos and stories about their #lovelydead . This is andygillmusic, brilliant, funny, king of my heart for almost 30 years

We're nowhere near finished sorting through Andy's stuff and every time we do, we find more photos, recordings, documents, history.

Catching up with the allegations against ⁦Arcade Fire⁩’s Win Butler courtesy of ⁦Feist⁩’s principled action & statement. But oh how very music industry & typical of the wider #MeToo movement that a woman’s livelihood is the 1st casualty theguardian.com/music/2022/sep…

I'm deadly serious when I tell you how delighted I am to be part of the team bringing you this new festival

HELP! Need to compile a (not entirely serious) royal-themed playlist. And no, not the complete works of Queen or Prince (though tracks from both will feature). As an eg, ¥[]U|\|G K|\|!v€$ #TheDecision will make the cut with lyrics about the Prince of Wails. IDEAS PLEASE #royalplaylist

It is and they did

Earlier today Professional Creator Bruce Sterling correctly observed that mash-ups are rarely better than original source material. That’s true of this track but oh how danceable it is. Gang Of Four’s #ToHellWithPoverty with andygillmusic’s famous guitar riff meets… #Pigbag open.spotify.com/track/3NT6AbtA…

Not sure what’s happening in this photo, but happier days…

Ow. Hope Tom Morello ok. The way band keeps going reminds me of Gang Of Four & @cardigan_band gig in Brazil. Stage gave way, bassist Magnus fell through up to his waist but kept playing as if nothing had happened & Nina Persson didn’t miss a note
