Been watching this in recent days, starring the inestimable Samantha Morton; I thought it was new, but it seems to be several years old. ICY, like me, MI - it’s absolutely marvellous, with a cracking soundtrack 🐍

Is this the greatest hip-hop album of all time? I dunno - but it’s definitely *one of* the best - a ridiculously confident debut from a fully former superstar 🌟

I’ve done for this in two sittings, using my new fully functional eyeballs. 👀
For those people constructing Xmas lists, it’s a strong recommend #nowreading

I-I’m a human fly,
A-and I don’t know why…
I do actually - just had my eyeballs sliced open and am now officially a cyborg - an enhanced human. And I can using my phone without specs for the first time in 15 years 🙌

My longstanding love affair with @theblowmonkeys.bsky.social started here, about 40 years ago. Only just re-got this on vinyl, so had forgotten what a brilliant album it is. Post-punky, jazzy, dark and sophisticated; brilliant songwriting and musically v sophisticated. Great stuff 👌

A spare hour until Mrs Bren2k returns from a work trip; in what has become a teatime ritual, Iggy Pop and I are listening to a record. We are enjoying this one very much indeed 🙌

Home alone, so I’m making a solo tea and listening to this ace racket at volumes that are normally prohibited 👌

Two new pick-ups from the weekend - recommended by my local vinylmonger - have provided me with a delightful hour of funky #jazz ❤️

I do semi-regular cinema trips with my daughter - this week, she picked the below.
Quite possibly the most terrifying and disturbing film I’ve seen in many a year; I can’t shake it off. Watch at your own peril 😱

Viewing some properties in Macclesfield yesterday. In a derelict and abandoned house, accessible only by climbing and hacking back vegetation, the graffiti started out cool and geographically centred - but quick descended into the hackneyed, schoolboy “cock and balls” staple. Disappointing.

Just been down to see me old Ma - turned up with headphones on from the walk.
“What you listening to?”
“The Fall - you wouldn’t like it Ma.”
“Give us a listen….”
<ten seconds of Fortress/Deer Park>
“Bloody Nora - that’s a racket.”
“Told ya…”

My little #Bonsai forest is doing very well; however, they’re growing upwards nicely, but not outwards - the trunks are still very thin and spindly. Am I doing something wrong?!

The way this guy uses samples and beats is right up there with some of the best of all time. This is a great record - I think he’ll do well 🙌
