🎵Now Playing: This Is Lorelei - Box for Buddy, Box for Star (2024)

This was The Lovely Robin’s™️ best album of the year, and it had completely passed me by so I thought I’d throw it on today. A lovely piece of work.

Best Tracks:

  • Perfect Hand
  • I’m All F****d Up
  • Dancing in the Club
  • An Extra Beat for You and Me
∞

🎵Now Playing: Biffy Clyro - Infinity Land (2004)

Not gone through the back catalogue of Biffy for a while. Blackened Sky is still my favourite album but this occasionally bangs.

Best Tracks:

  • Glitter and Trauma
  • Wave Upon Wave Upon Wave
∞

It’s #SPOTY therefore I get my years fill of sporting montages. Luke Littler the favourite to win but Keeley Hodgkinson’s gold was special. I LOVE SPORT.

Altrincham 1 - 0 Sutton United ⚽️

Very cold. Very cold. Happy to be on the tram heading home to warmth and my cat.

Hosted a work’s Christmas quiz over Teams tonight (we all work remotely) and I got a sudden flashback of Covid.

🎵Now Playing: Laura Marling - Patterns (2024)

Laura Marling is a perfect artist. She’s already one of my favourite gigs of all time, and this album is a stripped back, beautiful, tender, moving piece of work. Sublime.

Best Tracks:

  • No One’s Gonna Love You Like I Can
  • Caroline
  • Looking Back

Reading Habits for 2025

It’s December, so obviously, I’m in reflection mode—looking back on the year, spotting the wins, and acknowledging where there’s room to improve. One area that I failed at this year was reading more.

My Spotify algorithm came good suggesting this to me. Absolutely loved it. Sharp, clever, heartfelt lyrics with great production. I see he’s playing Manchester in April, might have to grab a ticket.

Best Tracks:

  • Mum Does The Washing
  • Could Be Forever
  • Tactics for Survival
  • Once in a Lifetime (Talking Heads cover)

Cultural Diet - November 2024

A run down of everything I’ve consumed this month.

November has been busy. I’ve overdone it and December is supposed to be the month of excess. It has, however, also been fun. And that’s important too.

Manchester United 4 - 0 Everton.

What a great day to have a ticket. We definitely need a new stadium but there’s still something special about Old Trafford in the sun. Diallo was superb.

∞

🎵Now Playing: Yannis & The Yaw - Lagos Paris London EP (2024)

A dream collaboration between The Foals singer and the legendary drummer Tony Allen. Result is a Foals-y sound with the groove turned up to 11.

Best tracks:

  • Rain Can’t Reach Us
  • Clementine
∞

Ok, it’s time to admit it. I’m a Manchester United fan. Good win tonight.

🎵Now Playing: Chemical Brothers - Planet Dust (1995)

They didn’t make this album for listening to at work, they made it for dancing.

Best tracks:

  • Leave Home
  • Chemical Beats
  • One Too Many Mornings
∞

🎵Now Playing: Kendrick Lamar - GNX (2024)

Had to give this a chance after all the hype. Not my fave of his back catalog, but it could be a grower.

Best tracks:

  • squabble up
  • reincarnation
  • tv off (aka MUSSSTTTAAARRRDDD)
  • heart pt.6
