So, I have access to Spotify and Qobuz, but this album doesn't appear on a either. What a shame. A delightful gem of an album.

For the last six weeks I've been watching the whole of Peaky Blinders. I never watched this when it first aired and I'm slightly annoyed with myself. What a brilliant show. The whole Shelby family were deeply unlikeable and horrendous people. But, I liked them. Excellent show.

Max Richter - Hamnet OST
I read the book recently, and it's an absolute masterpiece of literature. It made the 'favourites' shelf. The film is out early next year and I know know it'll destroy me. And Max, my boy Max has done the score. Win, win all round.

Today's random Discogs choice Primal Scream and Higher Than The Sun promo 12" Andy Weatherall remix 1991. From my Our Price days when the label reps would bring in some class freebies. A very dubby remix and it has The Orb mix on the b-side. Can't go wrong.

Frankenstein
This is beautiful to look at, polished and some great acting, especially Oscar Issac. Sticks closely to the novel, a real slow burn. It takes it time and gets to heart of the story. I loved it.

The Black Phone.
Whilst dealing with a horrific theme, child abduction this is highly watchable. Written Joe Hill (Stephen King's son) you know what you're gonna get. I thought this was great.
