Seems it’s taken me years to discover @sunstackjones.bsky.social but Apple Music finally delivered them to me. Their latest album is some of the best music I’ve heard in years. Part early Verve, part Beck, part early Charlatans, part BJM. Give em a listen, you won’t regret it.

Book 8 of 2025. I was drawn to this book because I live close to the South Downs. It’s strangely compelling. Weaving in and out of her own upbringing & the lives of many over the centuries, it pieces together a small part of the world which has shaped a bigger part of history. Fascinating.

Book 7 of 2025 done. Following on from The Satsuma Complex, another comical crime yarn. As you would expect from Bob, quirky, weird, funny but with a friendly easy to read nature. Look forward to the next one.

Book 6 of 2025 done. Keep on Movin’ would be the ideal soundtrack to Neneh’s life, continually moving from a young age, embracing city cultures, welcoming communities, finding fame and at the heart of it all, family. Her story has sorrow but more sweetness, love, gratitude & fun. Defo recommend.

Book 5 of 2025 done. Confirms and shocks what we already knew about Zuckerberg, Sandberg and the FB elite. Completely power obsessed like the rest of the narcissists. Shocking what’s going on behind our screens. Kudos to @panmacmillan.bsky.social & Wynn-Williams for publishing & writing it.

Gentle Spirit by Jonathan Wilson. An album I keep coming back to just because it’s so bloody brilliant.

Just watched Sly Lives! The documentary on Sly & The Family Stone directed by @questlove.bsky.social - brilliant! Footage I’ve never seen, brilliant live performances and interviews with band members & other artists. Really cool.

In 1991 The Doors movie introduced a new generation to the music of the band and the legendary Jim Morrison. I was part of that generation so I thank Val Kilmer for that. RIP.

Book 4 of 2025. Sadly a book where you already know the ending but one I wanted to read to know more about Nick Drake himself. Which evidently was limited due to his own privacy & illness but Richard’s access to his short life is all-encompassing to someone that can only be described as a genius.

The book that everyone is talking about apart from the author as she’s been told not to. Looking forward to reading this. #carelesspeople

Sad news this morning of Gene Hackman and his wife. Mississippi Burning is one of my favourite films. Great, great actor. Up there with the best. RIP.
