Rehearsing the album, New City, has persuaded me once more that it is a magnificent album - we're going to be great Live too.

K Pop DH is the most postmodern reading of reality of them all. It rightly looks at identity but to the exclusion of class analysis, the enemy being Demons enslaved by identity that should be smashed rather than combined with to forward revolution for all. I'll get me coat.

Absolutely loved K Pop Demon Hunters. Good songs - 'Soda Pop' (Saja) is so on the money popwise. 'Golden' is great - so many songs recently are meditations on struggles with identity and mental health = our times will be located in societal depression for future historians.

A good album is a great relief from the snare of the global intimacy of social media. It's all the lies that are so exhausting. Time for some David Sylvian, Captain and Tennille, Elbow and Bjork. Like bleach on the U bend of the 'decline of the (old) West' and tempting the desire for the new one.

Really enjoying Crux album by Dojo atm. What is pleasurable personally is the hints of 70's - 2000's appearing whilst also being something new. I like work which has reason vs romance, garden lawn vs wild wind, rational vs mystical and all joyful. My breakcore friends despair.

I, however, am on team Conrad. Although he lacks moral fibre and has engaged in poor behaviour, he has some substance. In earlier days he could have enjoyed the Cure's Faith and felt at one with himself.

Feelings only became fashionable in the 90's until Tony Blair. Look where that got us. It's all gone downhill.

I am currently watching The Summer I got Pretty with my family. I don't remember being young resembling any of this. In the 70's when I was young there were no feelings. That's why they called it 'the good old days'

'Legitimate concerns' must become acne scars on every Labour face, never to be removed, displayed forever. Their unapologetic racism must haunt them. It is deliberate, calculated cynicism. They lie and they lie. They have cultivated this fascism, always around but confined to golf clubs and

@vintageobscura.net Lady of the Lake. This situates itself completely in this year. Could they even imagine that she might turn out to be Gaga in 40 years? Nonetheless I really like this!

Came across Andy Williams' Home Lovin Man and played it many times. My Dad loved it. Yearning for home, stability, true and lasting love. The main character stoic, inured to physical pain and quiet about experiences. It reveals the Soul of that generation; conservative but not reactionary..
