Tech rant no. 1. I wish websites would make up their damn mind about what the space bar does when you're playing one of their videos. The correct action is pause the video but in the past few weeks I've had one the muted the sound, and on here it will switch between full screen and normal. Bah!

I've just been gobsmacked while watching Carmel videos trying to decide which song to post. I'd already decided on 'Je Suis etc' until I watched the one for 'More More More', which I'd never seen before. I'm 100% certain the pub they pull up outside of (and perform inside of?) is The Claremont in

A lost view of Liverpool...
Liverpool Anglican Cathedral, with its impressive 331ft tower. The Largest Cathedral in the UK, and 5th largest in the World.
Originaly taken on 35mm transparency, in the early 1980's.
Sadly, this view is now hidden by development.

I had a schoolfriend whose father was a singer in the chorus at Covent Garden, and I once asked him what made Caruso so good. "Control", he said. "The ability to go from pp to ff and back again effortlessly", and he played some recordings of Caruso, originally from 78s so not hi-fi quality, but even

I discovered this afternoon that in some places/religions, the Christmas decorations don't come down until Candlemas, February 2nd, the end of the Christmas/Epiphany period. That's rather an epiphany for me. Do you see what I did there? Oh please yourselves.

It's Christmas until twelfth night as far as I'm concerned (Monday), so sausage roll and leftover boiled spuds for breakfast.

Last night's bombardment woke me up at exactly midnight, but it didn't go on for long and none of it was too close, which is unusual. Fireworks are, supposedly, banned with Austin city limits but, y'know, people. When I went to bed around 10.30 there was a couple outside with their three young kids

I've said so many times how much I enjoy it when someone covers a song and makes it their own. Well, here's Those Helicopters teaching a Lennon and McCartney song a lesson it won't forget in a hurry.

That's Sam Adams Utopias Oz and James are drinking. How did they get hold of that? I've never had Utopias! Not that I could afford it anyway at $240 a bottle for the 2025 release.

Apropos of nothing at all, if you're ever asked to make a pink gin for someone it's customary to ask if they want the bitters out (swirled around the glass and then tipped out) or in (same procedure but left in the glass).
You're welcome.
