Here's my plans for reading for this year. Let's see how effectively I stick to them. (Hint: probably not well.)

Planning the pages: 2025 edition

As it’s the first day of a new year, it’s also the time when (apparently traditionally, now) I select a list of potential reads. There’s 25 this year (because 2025 right?) and whi…

Honestly, if I didn’t have a 70s amp and this old aunt’s CD player I would’ve gone all in on one of those Chinese amps.

I still want to get decent speakers. I’ve got some great old ones of unknown provenance but feel it would be good to get some decent ones. The amp has room to move…

I had looked into these - I’ve heard they’re pretty good with the only caveat that they’re not gapless if you skip - but I tend to be full album anyway. If I’d not been able to fix this one, that was my next stop!

I am using a wiim streamer and LOVE IT.

You know what this means? It means my infuriatingly wanky CD-R noise albums that haven't yet had a Bandcamp rebirth are ON, BAYBEE.

Pulled apart my old Rotel CD player. Fixed the fucked drawer. I didn't die and neither did it. Amazing.

2025 book sixty-eight: Michael Moorcock: Mother London ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A red cup of latte with a decorative foam design is placed beside a yellow book titled "Mother London" by Michael Moorcock, all set on a wooden table.

Am slowly getting to the point where if I’m on my phone for more than 10 mins I’m angry that I’m not reading a book. Hoping this Pavlovian disgust kicks in soon.

On the plus side, people can tell if it’s Halloween solely by whether you’re wearing a hockey mask or no.

Steve Albini was really onto something with these as a uniform.

This is the Donnie Darko remake I’m here for.

If they’d only ever made the blue one they’d be almost perfect, tbh.

It does hit a LOT different as an Adult who’s Gone To Therapy, though!

It’s like Cheap Trick for (bigger) nerds.

Pictured: me with headphones in, singing along.

A man with long hair in a ponytail is driving a convertible car. He is wearing sunglasses and a beige suit, and appears to be focused on the road while driving through a scenic area.

This is Geoffrey Rush in INTOLERABLE CRUELTY and he is as rizz-free as it is possible to be.

Fuck me, that blue Weezer album’s still great.

*ennui intensifies*

A graphic indicating that, unsurprisingly, a Michel Houellebecq novel is about a flawed character.

Luke: grue fodder @captainfez.bsky.social · 1d

Just finished the audiobook of Michel Houellebecq's predictably grim SEROTONIN and deeply amused to hear the credit "postproduction by Elliott Smith".

Obviously not THAT one, but fitting, no?

Also it looks like he's about to do a set at that Riyadh comedy fest here, which is probably a sadly accurate comparison.

Having heard too many of his albums I could hazard a guess.
