Look at this excellent duck. Ask a child to draw a duck, and this is what you'd get. Quintessential duck. What this non-native duck is doing in Snaresbook park is another question #birb

Day 10
Todd Edwards - Prima Edizione
Absolutely iconic. Even though I am familiar with his work I had never listened to this and it feels like listening to so many artists I love for the first time again. It's confident, fresh, excellent. Love hearing the touches of garage and french house

I am in an album listen group with old uni friends (An Album Party) and I'm going to use this to catch up on the best picks I'm yet to listen to

R.E.M. #38 - No Matter What: Naturally I can write over 600 words about an insignificant Badfinger cover, but give me a key song of substance and I'm flummoxed moralkiosk.home.blog/2025/01/30/n...
