Alright mate? This is the digital home of Daniel Savage, a small man who is trying very hard to exist.
🎵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:
I’ve decided to go through 2025 with a theme in mind. In 2024 I focused on doing well at work, keeping the job I recently got, learning quickly, and becoming a valued member of the team. I think I achieved that pretty well. My finances that were lacking in 2023, have improved and given me a bit of breathing room. I have the opportunity to build on this in 2025. But work isn’t my priority this year.
A run down of everything I’ve consumed this month. After November’s hectic gig schedule, this month was rather quieter with the festive holidays in mind. As we got closer to the winter solstice and it got dark and cold from 2pm, staying in and watching TV or a film became my preferred choice.
I hope you had a wonderful and peaceful Christmas break and you’re looking forward with hope into 2025.

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:
🎵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:
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.
Here are the best things I found on the internet last week. I’ll try to have more fun ones next time.
🎵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:
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.
Here are the best things I found on the internet last week. Sorry it’s a) late and b) short, but I’ve had a week.
🎵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.
