I listened for 72,265 minutes in 2024. What about you? #SpotifyWrapped

Anyone would think I was a fan of Melbourne instrumental laid back vibes.

What a book. Take-your-breath-away moments amongst first-person devotion that gives way to some genuinely unhinged stuff that keep you turning pages until you have to finish it. Thank you @natashahodgson.bsky.social for recommending a book I enjoyed intensely but would never have read otherwise.

So proud of my daughter, @gramscigall.bsky.social and her radio show on Livewire 1350. Such confidence, deep research and personality. It’s a show I would listen to every week even if she wasn’t my hugely talented daughter. Look out for Genre Dump on a Saturday afternoon. www.livewire1350.co.uk

Imagine how embarrassed Kendrick Lamar is going to be when he realises his shift key isn't working!

Pleased to see Norwich Arts Centre participating in the 'Ask for Angela' scheme. A bloody shame that we have to have it, but great to see the momentum behind it. And the kindness.

Erland Cooper’s gig: Moving. Beautiful. Elegiac. Uplifting. Relaxing. Silent. Soaring, loud strings. Bass. Piano notes you can hear the hammer fall on. Music that lifts the hairs on the back of your neck. Music to close your eyes to. Music made of nature and kindness and warmth. www.erlandcooper.com

Carve The Runes Then Be Content With The Silence. Erland Cooper. And a whole bunch of analogue goodness. Yes please.

I listen to a LOT of podcasts. I think I've found the best one yet. Never not funny, I love the sketches, but Wingnut, the '5-years-old boy' who answers grown-ups' questions is magnificent, a triumph. Twice now he's made me properly laugh in the street Do listen.https://crowleytom.com/crowley-time

I love this man. Been listening to nothing but the uniquely introspective, world-weary Josh Tillman’s new album. Even better than I hoped it would be. He was once asked “What’s the most important lesson life’s taught you?” & replied, “Absolutely everyone is winging it.”. Should be taught in school.
