John Curtice notes on Today that mayoral races could be won with as little as 25% of the vote. But it's worse than that: if turnout in (eg) the West of England race is the same as in 2001 - 36% - a party might win with 9% of eligible votes. First Past the Post is an absurdity in these conditions.

I'm getting ahead on #A-Haydn-A-Day with the historic sound of the Pro Arte Quartet from the 1930s in Op. 20 No. 1. I've never listened to these vintage recordings before.

I cancelled Amazon a few months back (good riddance!). The only thing I missed was my BFI subscription, so today, I installed the BFI Player on my TV and we christened it by watching the delightful Paterson, which has made me feel a lot better about a lot of things.

If you do just one thing to push back against Amazon, make it buying your books elsewhere.

#NewReleaseFriday is late again, but it's my birthday today, so sampling the week's symphony and orchestral #NewReleases is like opening a bumper set of presents. First recordings of symphonies by one of my favourite #ContemporariesOfHaydn? Thanks, that's just what I wanted! ▶️ spoti.fi/400asdn

Nick Robinson on the BBC asked why are the Green Party invisible? Perhaps it is because he and the BBC almost never invite them on their shows.

Tomorrow, a certain online mega-retailer launches a book sale, just days before Indie Bookstore Day on 4/26. This is no coincidence; Bookstore Day is one of the largest revenue drivers for indies. Indies need our support to thrive & build community spaces for all...mega-retailers do not.
