Album of the Year #AOTY long list, in no order for now, and:
18. CIRCU5, ‘Clockwork Tulpa’
Hard rocking song-based concept prog. Really great album, gives a kind of really satisfying old school vibe about it too.

Yesterday, the largest far-right protest in UK history marched through London, led by racist Tommy Robinson.
Today, we say: They don’t speak for us — and they won’t have the last word.
This Wednesday we come together against Trump and for a better future. Do everything to be there.
