It’s album release day! If you like catchy songs with stories, wit and wordplay, enjoy Divine Comedy, Beatles, Jellyfish or Djo, this is for you.
Eight slices of pop whimsy won’t fix this world, that’s true. But they might improve half an hour of it 😉

The BBC is utterly beholden to the right. Why else would it fear a podcast about heat pumps? | George Monbiot
The broadcaster behaves like Starmer’s government: suppress the left, cave to your critics, and undermine your own survival, writes Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Having somehow missed ‘the biggest open secret in TV for the last two years’ I’m now navigating the Kubler-Ross stages of grief having been floored by ep 2 of The Last of Us.

Happy Spotify wrapped day to those who celebrate! I’m a big fan. The AI personal podcast though? Saying my name, taking about me? Clever, yes.
Weirdly unsettling, very much
Mister ‘eclectic taste’ has some questions to answer this year. Like female singer songwriters much?

Disgusting, isn’t it? John Lewis’s shocking Christmas advert is actually about … shopping
Where’s the lonely man on the moon? Where’s the plaintive piano ballad sung by a wan Victorian girl? This year’s John Lewis ad is packed with unforgivable sins
