Touches of Odysseus vs Polyphemus the cyclops here from Andy Hinchcliffe #EVEWHU

So much of Orbital’s “Wonky” album still washes over my synapses like a lovely sonic bath. It is so choice

It's the most devastating moment in a young mans life, when he quite reasonably says to himself, "I shall never get in da Club with Redman”

I keep mixing up Carmen Sandiego and Perdita Durango. It would certainly make for a very different type of animated kids’ TV show

Wait a minute, so the old man David Paich stops along the way in Toto’s Africa never actually *said*, “hurry, boy, it’s waiting there for you”?! 😦

Cant believe the stats on dead nightclubs in Ireland. They used to burn money. I remember Shemar Moore did an appearance in Maynooth. I remember bouncy castles in a club in Letterkenny. Sean Kingston performing live was hard to avoid in rural Irish nightclubs at one point

It’s a Christmas miracle! Have a good one, everyone

A brief thread on teaser trailers that have footage only shot for them & not used in the actual films. youtu.be/2HdCmf91q_A?...

Even though I must have listened to Wizzard’s “I Wish It Could Be Christmas Every Day” at least 1,000 times in my life at this point, it just struck me today that I haven’t got a clue what Roy Wood is saying in any of the verses. The chorus, sure. But not a single line beyond it

Listening to Midlake’s The Trials of Van Occupanther for the first time in about 8 years, so fucking good, so yearning

Well, I know what *I’ll* be doing this Christmas…

You know it’s Christmas when you hear NewSong’s bloody “Christmas Shoes” on @christmasfm.bsky.social for the first - but sadly not the last - time in 2024

Watching 48 Hrs for the first time, loving Nick Nolte’s “Covid lockdown” haircut

I was in a wedding venue accommodation last weekend where the only picture in the bathroom is one of Sean Connery at his Conneriest. It can only be properly viewed if you’re a man standing in front of it to urinate, while Sean coldly appraises your goods. It was the ultimate alpha male test of nerve

@secondcaptains.bsky.social Lads you’re a bit hard to find on here because your display name is all one word with an @, not two words like on Twitter/X. Might be worth seeing if you can edit it?

Guardian cloning of celebrity-themed skeets outpacing the law, experts warn

It’s okay, everyone, it’s a small “L”, not a capital “i”
