Just two weeks ago - I visited the D-Day beaches of Normandy - good men sacrificed to rid the world of Nazis - and now the American government is run by NeoNazis - never forgive, never forget

I am once again forced to remind people that if you want to make up a version of me to get needlessly aggressive at, you're welcome to do so, but if you try to involve the real me I'll just block you.

💿 Inside Out
I'm fast approaching the end of another fantastic year of discovery.
Martyn has been one of my favourite new-to-me artists, but still with considerable gaps in my listening.
His jazz-influenced record is next up...

John Cale has made a record with someone who wasn't even born when he made Songs For Drella, which for most artists would count as a late-career recording, but for him... long may he roll, is what I'm saying.

I'll save you a lot of reading: unless Mamdani starts taking money from Turks and roasting leprechauns - and even then - there is no way in hell Stefanik is going to win New York a year after this election in the city.

8—Tilt
Inescapably country in nature with its jugband style bass, it's almost disarming compared to its mates on the album. But it's false sense of security, because that chorus is utterly harrowing. Strikingly eclectic.

Ruby’s Arms
The Salvation Army Band horn intro prepares you for heartbreak. But nothing can prepare you for Tom sticking on his railroad boots, nicking a scarf and saying goodbye to Ruby's Arms. Quietly devastating.

Scrolling through some scanned photos, I found this picture of my grandma Eirwen (on the right), and her sister Norma. Both used Welsh as their first language and both lived to be 100 years old (Norma got to 101). I think was taken in 1937 or thereabouts. I loved them both so much.

Day 7 - Randy Scouse Git (Alternate Title) - The Monkees
Written about a party thrown for The Monkees by The Beatles "The four Kings of EMI" in London in 1967. Also, apparently, "the girl in yellow dress" is a reference to Mama Cass. Two for the price of one!

Pierre Poilievre might be even more of an incompetent fuckwit than Maxime Bernier, and I did not think that was possible.
“It’s an historic fuck-up”
Pierre Poilievre’s week couldn’t get any worse, and yet it did.
It will be a miracle if he even makes it to the leadership review.
