There’s so many unnecessary things in an airport. Why are you trying to do me a deal on 3 bottles of gin. Why is there a space for gamblers. Why is a Kit Kat £2.50.

Out of office on. Bags packed. Holiday is within touching distance. One sleep and the airport awaits. 🇨🇦

🎵Now Playing: Villagers - Becoming a Jackal (2010)

I’m stressing at work trying to cram everything in before the big trip. And Villagers can whisk me away into an indie-folk ethereal world while I deal with data. A stunning, lyrical album full of emotion and pictures.

Favourite Tracks:

  • I Saw the Dead
  • Becoming a Jackal
  • The Meaning of the Ritual
  • Home
  • Twenty Seven Strangers

Another 5km. Another new PB. Now agonisingly close to the under 30 minute goal. Next time! (I am so sorry for who I have become.)

It’s going to be a long long season. 🔴⚫️⚪️⚽️😭

Not had a proper holiday for myself in years. So counting down the days left in work to next Friday 🇨🇦

🎵Now Playing: Maximo Park - A Certain Trigger (2005)

6music had them on today to celebrate 20 (TWENTY) years since it’s release. With that and seeing The Maccabees tonight I’m absolutely delighted to be reliving my youth.

Favourite Tracks:

  • Apply Some Pressure
  • Graffiti
  • Picture of a Painting
  • Going Missing
  • Limassol

🎵Now Playing: Muse - Black Holes and Revelations (2007)

I haven’t listened to Muse for ages, and normally I wouldn’t stray far from Origin of Symmetry or Absolution but they headlined my first ever festival (Benicassim, 2007) on this tour so I have a soft spot for it. Opening the set with Knights of Cydonia blew my teenage head clean off.

Favourite Tracks:

  • Starlight
  • Supermassive Black Holes
  • Assassin
  • Knights of Cydonia

🎵Now Playing: Santigold - Santogold (2008)

It’s Monday and I’m drinking a Lucozade (orange flavour obviously, I’m not a mentalist who drinks original). I clearly needed a pep in my step this afternoon so we’re back to the 00’s with Santigold’s fantastic debut.

  • L.E.S. Artists
