My latest monthly playlist is now available. Old records, new records, and new to me records, that span decades, genres and continents. All of them have made the last few weeks a lot easier to deal with. I hope somewhere on the playlist is something that'll make you go wow! and play it again.
One thing I love about Northern European cities is the madly futuristic optimism of the post war architecture.

We went to the Anne Frank house earlier this afternoon. What an incredibly moving place it is. On the way out we passed an American couple talking as they exited. As we walked by the husband exclaimed "No disrespect, but that was fucking boring", a phrase that is now burned into me.

Farage can now be easily boxed in to a corner where his only ‘defence’ becomes: “Yes I spouted Kremlin propaganda & Putin worship but, unlike Nathan Gill, I didn’t need bribes to do it.”
It is, once again, a question of whether interviewers have the temerity to shut down his whining obfuscations.

Every week this advert seems to be in The New Yorker. Every week (without fail) it makes me laugh. The most New Yorker advert in the New Yorker.

Just about the first sound you hear on the first Roses album is Mani's bass.
I know Fools Gold is the most obvious choice of track, but just listen to Mani's playing on it, loose, funky and phenomenal. RIP

Our local council has just finished a development of social housing on our estate. Once upon a time this would have been a thing that everyone would be happy about, now it's an excuse for racist Facebook posts about 'boat people', 'help our own' and 'Migrants'.

Although I pay a reasonable amount of attention to the news I love the fact that so often when I read people on here talking about what some despicable person in the media or politics (here & the US) has done, I've absolutely no clue who they're talking about.
