Microposts

    Nearly made myself cry because I don’t understand how wireless headphones work.

    On the train to Newcastle to meet my niece for the very first time 👶🏻. There’s some beautiful views out of the window, Storm Éowyn nowhere to be seen.

    Spent the last couple of hours beginning a new Obsidian vault to start fresh and reorganise my notes into something more manageable and future proof. This could take some time (and does it even matter).

    🎵Now Playing: Bob Dylan - Blood on the Tracks (1975)

    Haven’t seen A Complete Unknown yet. But today felt like a Bob day, and this is currently my favourite album of his. He’s a genius.

    Favourite tracks:

    • Tangled Up In Blue
    • Simple Twist of Fate
    • Idiot Wind
    • If You See Her, Say Hello
    • Shelter from the Storm
    • Buckets of Rain

    Decided I will be ignoring and refusing to get involved with/read/comment on anything to do with trumps inauguration except to say this: a collection of the most uncool, corrupt, unintelligent, unloved fucking losers will all be in a room together and I’d love that room to fall into hell itself.

    Amad’s hat-trick last night. 00’s Forever all day on 6music today. Wedding tomorrow. Happy days.

    🎵Now Playing: Aldous Harding - Warm Chris (2022)

    Huge fan of Aldous Harding and I realised I hadn’t given this album much of a listen when it was released. Not quite as much oddness to the folk as in previous albums (or maybe I’m used to it), but enough to keep it interesting. Lovely stuff.

    Favourite Tracks:

    • Tick Tock
    • Fever
    • Lawn
    • Passion Babe
    • Leathery Whip

    News: I became an Uncle today.

    A dusting of snow today.

    Delighted to hear Lauren Laverne is well and coming back to 6music. Moving to the 10.30am-1pm time-slot is great. I chose the right time to start listening again.

    I realise I haven’t shared any cat (🐈‍⬛) content here, so here is Domino - the world’s laziest colleague.

    I’ve got back into listening to BBC 6Music while I work. It’s the perfect station really, isn’t it?

    🎵Now playing: The National - Boxer (2007)

    It’s started snowing outside again. This album (and this band) always makes me feel like I’m sat in front of an open flame. Hunker down.

    Favourite tracks:

    • Fake Empire
    • Mistaken for Strangers
    • Squalor Victoria
    • Apartment Story
    • Ada

    🎵Now playing: The Beatles - Revolver (1966)

    Back at work today, so thought I’d throw on an album I’ve ordered on vinyl with some Christmas money. It’s hard to pick a favourite Beatles album (The Best of the Beatles?) but this is my favourite Beatles album.

    Favourite Tracks:

    • Eleanor Rigby
    • I’m Only Sleeping
    • Here, There and Everywhere
    • She Said She Said
    • Good Day Sunshine
    • And Your Bird Can Sing
    • For No One
    • Got To Get You Into My Life
    • Tomorrow Never Knows

    Out of office is on, and I’ve already started to overeat. Merry Christmas all.

    My website now fits the season with falling snow. Check it out on danielsavage.uk ❄️ (thanks to @manton.org)

    🎵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.

    🎵Now Playing: TV on the Radio - Dear Science (2008)

    I only remembered I love this band over the weekend so had to play this album today. Great way to start the week.

    Best Tracks:

    • Halfway Home
    • Crying
    • Golden Age
    • Shout Me Out
    • DLZ
