Bought OTD in 1972: cleaned up slightly to be more commercial, this has done good songs - Low Yo Yo Stuff, Sun Zoom Spark but one track towers above everything else. Big Eyed Beans From Venus 💥💥💥. Distant cousins, there’s a limited supply
01. My book of the year. And while it could be said I am following the crowd here, in fact it is following me. Raved about it in the summer on Backlisted and reviewed it on publication. Bonnier, sensing it will never publish another book as good, pulled the plug on Nine Eight shortly thereafter.
Thank *you* It's a stunning work of art.

Just watched the Whatever Happened To The Likely Lads 1974 Christmas Special. It's my equivalent of midnight mass. I honestly don't think the banality, lo-fi competiveness and unspoken love of male conversation has ever been better captured. Sublime writing.
Christmas To Me: An Essay by Harper Lee.

Top of the league! Thank you Santa.
17. Ganavya - Like the Sun I've Been too Quiet.
Spiritualist jazz meets Indian classical music from the streets of New York. Really gorgeous music that just wraps itself around your heart.
Now we have a massive chance to stamp our authority on this league in the next three games. Show them, Blues.

A picture of an elf on the shelf on a hob top surrounded by sugar with a big old cat turd next to it. The text reads “Did a cute angel thing for the elf. The cat thought it was litter and did a giant shit on my kitchen side. I'm fucking fuming. My poor kids....what the hell?. We go to find the elf and he's had a giant shit? Val”
Happy anniversary to one of my favourite posts
*some* of my albums of the year.
Americana at its finest, sang with a voice full of “spit & vinegar”!
The Smiths at Blackpool Pleasure Beach.
I hate the guts of Shakin' Stevens,
For what he has done,
The massacre of 'Blue Christmas',
On him I'd like to land one on.

Britain doesn’t need billionaires posing as champions of the working class while hijacking our democracy for their own interests.
