Looks like an old pal of mine (and ace musician / all round lovely person) Andrew Milk in the background too

That said I’m actually psyched to watch any film that isn’t fucking Paw patrol

Psyched to watch it. enjoyed the short story it’s based on

watch out: I thought I was signing up for information about a new Boards of Canada release but it turns out I enlisted myself for national service

If Artemis II was British they’d be re-entering the atmosphere on a replacement bus service right now

Just FYI. 5 brand new longish tracks of textured reflection that possibly sound like someone attempting to rip Deepchord off but doing the entire recording session on a very breezy Lancastrian moor. 1 RT = 1 Prayer. Jah Bless.

not sure but i often reward myself with a bit of freeform soiling when i get to "laundry basket zero"

I think it has the honour of being the first hit record made in Pro Tools, too.

not trying to stick up for Terris but I do find myself whistling that "the time is now" song of theirs at least 3 times per year (and managing to perfectly, almost uncannily capture his weird raspy voice)

this sounds amazing

Wait one of those not new at all. New to me anyway.

Ah spring, the coldest of all seasons

eating my sons' easter eggs is good parenting, in fact. They don't need all that sugar.

how terribly cruel

I got a pair of Cliftons to start running after an injury. Have had about 4 pairs since and run loads in them. They're also normal enough to wear as regular ol' walkin' about shoes. Top quality + the cushioning is fantastic. I think the Bondis are the most cushioned. And I'm told they look "sick".

I've found the quality of nursery / park parents I've met in Leyton to be pretty high (and without sounding like a stalker I'm pretty sure I've seen you around!)

Ran the Lee Valley ultra for the second time yesterday. Today I’m sleep deprived, aching, sun burned and generally broken, and looking for another one to sign up for before the post-race depression sets in.

Imagine how good it feels to be running through the city early in the morning, dodging the suits with their lime bikes and golf umbrellas, when this comes on your headphones over the radio

Heroin, by Stephan Mathieu & Ekkehard Ehlers 14 track album

I have been walking into and out of this room continuously since 2001 schwebung.bandcamp.com/album/heroin

particularly sad this sort of shit is happening when the institution is closing all the creative courses like photography
