This week I saw two wildly different musical performances over two consecutive nights, so you’re getting two reviews for the price of one.
In recent years I have got back into collecting physical media, but the surging price of vinyl is making me fall out of love with it again. It’s no wonder everybody uses Spotify when the alternative is so unaffordable. Something has to change.

I saw One Battle After Another last night. It’s the film of the year, if not the decade, and it reinforced my view that Paul Thomas Anderson is our greatest living filmmaker. Read my review.
