Partner: “You’re not getting me something for Valentine’s Day are you?”

Me: “Oh I might have something planned up my sleeve”

The something planned up my sleeve:

Been doing this on the bird app so though I would do it here too. Keeping track of new release records I listen to in a year . Highlights are in bold and AUS releases marked with an “A”. Some real good stuff to kick off the year. Hope you follow along and find something new.

Happy Hottest 100 Day to all those music weirdos that are still somehow partly invested in the count despite falling out of the stations demographic a decade ago.

Took the kids to see Sonic 3. Fun movie, but my beef is that in the flashback to 1974 they played a record with ‘End Of The Line’ by Travelling Wilburys on it when it didn’t appear on The Travelling Wilburys Vol. 1 until 1988. Suffice to say the Wilbury-heads are fuming about it.

Free pouring spirits and reading dad fiction. Holidays are alright.

David Campbell: “Our next performers are making their carols debut. Performing ‘White Christmas’ please welcome the Melbourne Proud Boys Choir accompanied by the Victoria Police Chamber Orchestra”

RIP Michael Leunig. Hard to believe that Mary finally got you…..

Yeah, gonna level with you guys. 18 days in and I am running low on Elf on the shelf ideas…..

Late to the party on this but how good is that MJ Lenderman record?

4 year old: “Can I have drink from your water bottle?”

Me: “Yeah I guess so”

Don’t know much about current events, but what I do know is that ‘Spaceman’ by Babylon Zoo still fucken slaps and lyrically is as relevant now as it was in 1996.

There is nothing with a lower reward to effort ratio than putting up Christmas lights. About the only thing worthwhile is the shot of adrenaline you get nearly falling off the ladder.

A little behind schedule compared to the other kids, but the little one finally getting the hang of this whole walking business.

This is the exact same face you make as a kid when your mum takes you clothes shopping and you gotta model the outfits for her to see how they fit and you’re just standing there in the Target fitting room like……

Everyone talking about a “political punk revival” after the Trump win, when in reality his last term really only yielded a decent enough Public Enemy record towards the end of the term and a mid Bad Religion record.
