Update: Never properly got into Dirty Three…Until last week when my son Jake put them on a compilation for me and it turns out I’VE BEEN WASTING MY LIFE

In about a month they’ll all profess to love jazz, craft ales and fine living. Stockholm syndrome.

Weston isn’t exactly choc full of them either…

What a record! We are London makes me ache to move back there every time I hear it. It’s such a perfect encapsulation of the feeling of living there, the idealised version anyway. There’s just so much love in it.

Went for an open day at Bristol with my daughter recently and had a look around Hiatt Baker and thought of you! All we need now is a Shudder To Think tour…

Oh man was playing my daughter life of leisure by luscious jackson and it bumped us on to inject me by pwei - had forgotten how brilliant and transgressive it is. 15 yr old me absolutely rinsed that record.

Tolkien fought in the Battle of the Somme. He saw the horrors of war, and the moments of bravery and fear within it up close.

And after all that. ALL that. He wrote Lord of the Rings. He declared true bravery and masculinity to be love, friendship and humbleness.

Musk is everything he hated.

We went to see a game in DC earlier this year. It is very similar in that no one seems remotely interested in watching it, most people hang around the concourse drinking ludicrously sized beers and yelling at each other. For an American sport it’s bafflingly low key.

I’m basically watching the Overton Window move in real time. That’s not a question anyone sensible needs to ask. The phrasing suggests she might have “legitimate concerns” about the number of Black & Asian people on television. Dangerous bullshit. FFS.

Found you on here, talking laser guided sense as always!

Same for me after a heart valve replacement last year, yet a flu vaccine? No problem. Ridiculous.
