The Death Of Bunny Munro
Adapted from Nick Cave's novel, which I did read a long while ago. I really enjoyed this I thought Matt Smith was superb. Well worth a watch.

As its the 1st of December I've had an annual watch of my 3 favourite Christmas films.
1. Elf - Hello. Buddy the Elf, What's your favourite colour?
2. National Lampoons Christmas Vacation - Shitters full.
3. Trading Places - ... I was poor and no one liked me.
Krampus later, a gem everyone forgets

So, I have access to Spotify and Qobuz, but this album doesn't appear on a either. What a shame. A delightful gem of an album.

For the last six weeks I've been watching the whole of Peaky Blinders. I never watched this when it first aired and I'm slightly annoyed with myself. What a brilliant show. The whole Shelby family were deeply unlikeable and horrendous people. But, I liked them. Excellent show.

Max Richter - Hamnet OST
I read the book recently, and it's an absolute masterpiece of literature. It made the 'favourites' shelf. The film is out early next year and I know know it'll destroy me. And Max, my boy Max has done the score. Win, win all round.

Today's random Discogs choice Primal Scream and Higher Than The Sun promo 12" Andy Weatherall remix 1991. From my Our Price days when the label reps would bring in some class freebies. A very dubby remix and it has The Orb mix on the b-side. Can't go wrong.

Today's random Discogs choice Greg Foat and Symphonie Pacifique 2020. A very cool album, it relaxing you and clears the mind quire beautifully. The whole album floats along nicely so picking a favourite track was quite hard but Man vs. Machine was a beaut.
