Fans of Ash or Richard Ashcroft, or Buzz Magazine, or me (hi mum) can read my little reviews of these two acts' latest efforts below... (spoiler: they're both cracking albums)

Enjoying an OASIS-aided bounce, RICHARD ASHCROFT returns with a strong solo album

Lovely tunesmithery, adorned with strings and samples: the title track is up there with Bittersweet Symphony in terms of memorable anthems.

I think this stems from an artist 'capturing' what they're drawing. Like my meeting notes might 'capture the essence' of what was discussed. Like much business speak, it's unnecessarily wordy.

That's reminded me of a doll I saw for sale in Thailand in 2012. Lined up in a normal shop alongside other dolls. 😬

A "cute" doll in a box upon which is written "makes a vow the demon"

And then they move to the next house. It's a very slow global domination effort.

I have a cartoon in the current Private Eye

Cartoon. Two people standing on a stage looking at a third person who is jumping down through a trap door. In the foreground we see the backs of the audience’s heads. One standing people observes “It’s just a stage he’s going through”

Interesting. My follower numbers aren't THAT different, but my engagement on here is substantially lower. Not sure why. Maybe fewer bots or something.

But the QUALITY of engagement is higher here, I would say.
