New on Always Liverpool | Pondering the two extremes of the word "insufferable" as pertains to the trials and tribulations of Liverpool FC.

Actually really enjoyed this with Dave and Jules. We had a laugh and a moan and a "what the fuck?" and didn't get too much into the weeds of the game. And, of course, the now-ceremonial 'parp' or two.

"My mind drifted through layers of false memory, in which I seemed to do the same thing over and over again ... I was in Wilde's study and he was behind his desk in a flowered dressing-gown and a tight hard face and a dappled cigar moved in his fingers and up to the bitter smile on his lips."

Remembering keyboard player Glen Adams who was born on this day in 1945.

Glen wrote the lyrics and played the distinctive organ on this surreal Wailers tune about a Mr Brown riding around town in a coffin...

Listening to The Magical World of the Strands and feeling certain no one on the planet, least of all the Heads, could be sure in which decade it was recorded.

I was looking forward to seeing how Train Dreams would be adapted into a film. Unfortunately, it’s like Forrest Gump if he was played by Kevin Webster—soundtracked with the same slurred string arrangements and ambient-reverb piano nonsense that every other modern frontier snoozefest seems to have.

New on Always Liverpool | Andy Robertson's moment, both beautiful and devastating, told us everything about how Liverpool's players are still coping with the loss of their dear Diogo. We haven't afforded them enough grace.
