Vale Todd Snider. Wrote some of the most beautiful songs, but was also the funniest motherfucker in music. I still remember driving in my old Valiant and hearing Devil’s Backbone on the radio for the first time and it struck me like lightning. One of my heroes and a true artist.

Planning on celebrating a major milestone birthday the traditional way. By collecting up all the regret, guilt, shame and negative thoughts of an entire lifetime and ruminating on that shit until I completely fall apart and then beating myself up for not being a better more chill human being.

Wouldn't say I'm filled with dread. There's a little room left.

Sometimes I don’t listen to Marquee Moon for a long time and I put it on and am absolutely fucking blown away by how good it is. The first four songs seem like they must be the best song on the album and then they just get topped by the next one. Sublime and timeless.

Oddly, we'd be obligated under Nato to defend Greenland from our own military

Comforting that the 17yo prodigy world darts champion still looks like a 35 yo accountant.

Saturday morning feels like prime Lemonheads listening time.

Updated this list as I snuck in a 24th over Christmas. 24 in 2024.
James is every bit as good as they say. Dusk is gorgeous. Question 7 lingers in your brain in wonderful disturbing ways. Hard By A Great Forest is a cracking read. Lots of great stuff.

Surely both of your neighbours having parties on the same day is illegal.

I keep choosing “look at stupid phone” over “read good book”.
Stupid phone.

Watching my youngest daughter have her first “it’s not as good as the book” experience of a TV adaptation. A true rite of passage.

Probably not my favourite Protomartyr album but that’s a high bar to clear. Any year that gives you new Protomartyr is a gift regardless

Showing off my middle aged man-ness but this Slaughter Beach, Dog record is a recent discovery from a year end list that has quickly become a favourite. The chorus of Strange Weather has been embedded in my brain for weeks
