It's that time of year where I share my Pride playlist again.

Consisting of stuff that doesn't make the typical playlists.

Alternative LGBTQ+ artists/ bands with LGBTQ+ members and songs written in support of the LGBTQ+ community.

Also Björk because every Pride playlist should have Björk. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

If you need me, I'll be crying at my desk hearing this album that's been so poignant to me for the last decade the way the band wanted it to be heard to begin with.

Please approach me slowly today, I'm delicate 🥹😭

The Wonder Years have stuck with me since I first stumbled across them in Kerrang! tv back in late 2009/ early 2010 and every album is stellar.

Nk Closer To Heaven really hits differently though.

Keith @skirtingboardshoes.bsky.social · 5h

Listening to the 10th Anniversary remaster of No Closer To Heaven and I'm just speechless.

This album already means so much to me, but hearing it remixed and remastered feels like I'm listening to it for the first time again...

I saw Hell House pop up, I'll add it then!

Ahh, hopefully I can get them all here hah!

Keith @skirtingboardshoes.bsky.social · 17h

Will check Coffee Table out for sure!
Oh lord, I've seen Audition and... yeah I'm good haha! The sound design is incredible but the sounds haunt me 🥴
Tried Late Night but couldn't quite get into it, I'll give it another go though

Keith @skirtingboardshoes.bsky.social · 17h

I love black comedy/ horror comedy so will def check those out!
It's A Wonderful Knife was fun and Hush has been on my list a while - thanks for the reminder!

I'm not a Halloween Gay™️, but I am a sucker for cheap crisps with cute mid-century illustrations on the packaging.
Also how freaking cute is the coffee cup?! I couldn't NOT grab it - it's basically me 🥹🥰

My tattooed forearm and hand holding 2 bags of crisps agains and inky blue wall.

The bags are decorated with various cute Halloween characters in frames on a two-tone orange striped background in a mid-century style and a black circle in the centre with the flavour.
One bag is 'BBQ flavour Witches Hats' and the other is 'Pickled Onion flavour Worms'

My hand and a little of my tattooed forearm holding an off white KIGH with a black handle.
On the side of the mug is a cute illustration of a teddy bear wearing a black tshirt with a skeleton design on it

Without saying Hurt, fav cover song

It's Oh So Quiet by Björk.

I was surprised when I found out this is a cover but the original was released in 1951 by Betty Hutton

I wasn't talking shit, buuuut it's still eternally funny that a giant pink demon beat Take That to Christmas no. 1 😂

Sometimes I don't believe the 90s were even real... 😂😂

Keith @skirtingboardshoes.bsky.social · 1d

It will also never not be funny to me that Take That lost 1993 Christmas no. 1 to Mr Blobby😂

I hope my beloved pink and yellow chaos gremlin haunts Gary Barlow forever 🥰

I have this stuck in my head so I'm sharing the joy 🥰

Sweet dreams and remember; Blobby is love. Blobby is life.

Nah heals hot standards!

One of the managers which makes me glad we don't interact all that much 🤢

Keith @skirtingboardshoes.bsky.social · 2d

There's someone at my work I've seen regularly just run his hands under the taps for like 3 secs, no soap and then walk out without drying them... after doing a hefty shit... 🤢

Nighty night 🥱😴
