Coming from the other side of the Atlantic I didn't know what GOP stood for.

This album seems apt, kd lang's "hymns of the 49th parallel" - a homage to fellow Canadian artists. So tunes by Neil Young, Joni Mitchell et al.

Soccer Mommy's "Color theory" on the Rega P10 this afternoon. "Bloodstream" is a wonderful opening track.

St German's classic album "Tourist" on the turntable tonight featuring John Lee Hooker on the track "Sure Thing".

Freidburg's debut album "Hardcore workout queen" on the turntable, what a brilliant album - no filler. Has a bit of a Wet Leg feel about it, which is no bad thing!

Politics these days is a bit like the photo in the fast food cafe named after that farmer who went EIEIO (I wouldn't call it a restaurant!) - that's what you're promised.

Getting stuck in to the biography of my favourite artist, not that many books written about Randy so this one has been long awaited.
