Alright mate? This is the digital home of Daniel Savage, a small man who is trying very hard to exist.

Here are the best things I found on the internet last week. It’s a new year, but I continue to scour the internet to find gems in the ever increasing slop of shite.

🎵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

A Sober 2025

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.

Cultural Diet - December 2024

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.

🎵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

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