I found myself singing a mashup of The Red Flag and Fly Me To The Moon at the top of my voice in the car today, and do you know what? It felt great.

Met him in a radio station years ago and he was a proper nice fella. Looks exactly the same now as then…

I try to live my life through the teachings of the great philosophers…I think it was Kant who said “It really doesn’t matter if it’s raining or it’s fine, just as long as you’ve got time to P-L-A-Y, play away way, play away away play away way away away play away”

An evening of listening to Wire…why change the habit of a lifetime?
My favourite post-1979 LP is this one, it alternates between heavy as hell and sweetly beautiful.
Still massively important in the 21st C, says I x

Still raining, the world run by maniacs, the new series everyone is raving about is on the one streaming platform you don't have, your football team already settling for mid-table mediocrity...

But we'll always have Alexei's Midnight Runners.
