🎡Now Playing: Joshua Idehen - Mum Does The Washing EP (2024)

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)

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

Every border implies the violence of its maintenance.

I’ve been thinking about giving up the booze for a while. Wasting days hungover just isn’t the one anymore.

I thought January 1st would be a good marker but that’s just an excuse to push it down the road, rather than to make the improvement immediately. Especially with Dec being a month of excess.

Filling out more pages on the site. I love to track things (classic IT guy alert) so you can find all my:
