So despite spending a lot of time on Spotify this year turns out I haven't listened to much in the way of new albums.

So pre new year plan is to listen to a new album every week.

I'll keep posting reviews on this thread!

Any recommendations are appreciated!

Imagine TV News covering this farmer protest - banned, but turned up anyway, grinding capital to a halt - if it were about Palestine or climate change, not inheritance tax. Would they present protesters as heroes? Or showing "I need to get to work" and "me auld mam missed her hip operation" voxpops?

I'm on BBC Radio Leeds talking about my Sgt Pepper book in about an hour. Be great if the kickstarter hit 100% while I was on air wouldn't it……?

So hearing Off the Ball talk about top Scotland goals, going for 5 is difficult, these stand out to me.

But these have to be in the debate:

Archie 1978 (obvs)
McFadden
Tonight's 3
Leigh Griffiths 2 v England
McCoist v Switzerland Euro 98
Burley v Norway 98 (good finish and gave some hope!

The James Bond discourse just doesn't work on any level for me, what do you mean "the audience won't buy it," they think Timothy Dalton and Sean Connery are the same guy

Saw an advert for BBC News content saying they will fight misinformation with truth but they literally outright LIED about Bob Vylan in the summer then denied it and lied again when people complained.

Zohran Mamdani carried out 9/11 when he was just 10 years old, and now he wants to introduce Shakira law in New York. It is a truly scary time x

My ducks may not be in a row, but at least they're having fun. Your ducks probably hate you for making them line up like that.

I’m being inundated with messages from people saying they don’t understand how Kickstarter works so they’ll just wait until www.kickstarter.com/projects/sgt... is funded and then buy a copy.

The change in tempo in Never Too Much by Luther Vandross in this live version is amazing.

It felt like he was just teasing the crowd then kicked it back up!

From a Daily Express journalist calling for my deportation to a Reform MP saying it “drives her mad to see adverts full of black and Asian people”, the mask has truly slipped.

This poisonous politics fuels far-right violence against minorities and migrants. We all must unite against it.

I expect Sarah Pochin MP hates other quiz shows ... mainly as she probably struggles to answer any of the questions.

Nobody complained when chimpanzees drank tea, aliens made instant mash, ambassadors served mediocre chocolate in lieu of canapes. But portray a black couple enjoying a breakfast buffet at a Premier Inn and there will be hell to pay.

Runcorn, i love you, but you're bringing me down.
