Sounds of Silence

And it's called 'Gruncle Garfunkel hits the Funcle Buncle'

Goodnight Vienna

This one's up there with 'Beaucoups of Blues' as one of the legitimately solid Ringo albums. He needs a few slower tempo tracks to work as a solo artist tbh

I'm sure I'll get to them! Though first I'll probably read Mogworld, I've got a friend who's offered to lend me it

Will Leave the Galaxy For Good (audiobook)

Yes I listened to this in roughly a day lol

Good, but my least favourite of the trilogy by quite a margin. Just felt a lot baggier, and felt like more could've been done with Daniel after the note the last book left him off on

Yeah, I guess he could have been brought up earlier in the story to establish him as a presence.

But I guess you are meant to feel how sudden of a swerve it is for Pierce's gang, being kept in the dark about the true nature of their mission by Warden

Hmmm I didn't really see the gear shifting as much. There was a bit more pre-amble before the heist in book 2 than before Pierce's mission for Henderson gets hijacked by Warden in book 1, I guess?

But from there both books moved forward at a pretty good clip imo

(Well...figurative page-turner in my case)

I love how each adventure has such a strong sense of forward momentum. There's always some pressing tension on Pierce as he stumbles from hazard to hazard, which makes the novel a real page-turner

Will Destroy the Galaxy For Cash (audiobook)

Trying to put my finger on what makes Yahtzee grab my attention more than any other reader and it's likely because 'read out your own writing in an entertaining fashion' has been his main career for 15 years and counting

Kpop Demon Hunters (rewatch)

Stuck this on at a small gathering to discover that almost everyone present was down bad for Celine

Kingdom Hearts Final Mix (let's play)

Hmmm...maybe I should give this one another go. It definitely integrates the Disney worlds far better than future installments, even if the platforming shows its age

The Sopranos (season 3)

Best season so far imo. The further in I get, the more I appreciate the show's irregular rhythm of having tumultous life events slam into the main cast unpredictably

Big Oof (album was great, just...oof)

Over the Garden Wall

Very charming animated miniseries but why is it so hard to find a version with decent subtitles online??
