Story of my life

Yoshi Wada!!
That’s this evening’s soundtrack sorted

There’s gonna be a lot of MAGA dudes not knowing what to do with their cybertrucks right now

Shopping for the perfect gift for a member of the Hitler Youth?
I’ve got you covered

Author Pippa Goodhart reads Fair Shares! YouTube video by Tiny Owl

In case anyone is grappling with why the trans community’s voices need to be amplified, or why the BLM movement is so important, the children’s book Fair Shares by Pippa Goodhart was instrumental in teaching my kid about equity.
Heres a video of the author reading it:

Who knew Temu eggs would become the most expensive item in America

Trying to explain the insanity of 2025 to future generations:
“…and then Florida won the NCAA championship.”

I’m cashing in my ailing 401(k) for shares in masculinity

You know it’s gonna be a good day when your uber driver is playing Judee Sill

Yes! Mine too. Queueing this up next

It’s great! The Tunic songs are killer too. No letter for me unfortunately, and annoyingly I’ve lost the liner notes, which if I remember rightly were a small booklet, but it’s such a treat to listen to these songs again.

Record of the day is the 4x4 compilation on Up Records from (I think) 1995/6.
Four tracks each by Appendix Out, Tunic, Kilgore Trout and Brewster, and showcasing Alasdair Roberts at his most indie rock. A true fan favourite (for this fan)

Here’s me thinking that’s a bit harsh as I pull into the mall where Paul Blart Mall Cop was filmed

On it!

Yes I do!

Attorneys General Live in Brooklyn (w/David Grubbs, Ian Williams, and Ryley Walker), by Attorneys General 2 track album

This masterpiece from David Grubbs, Ian Williams and Ryley Walker is where my pocket money is going

Someone’s playing Start Chopin’ by Dinosaur Jr over the Whole Foods PA and that solo never sounded so good.
Tesco, take note.

If they’re gonna force us to live in this Back to the Future 2 dystopia they could at least give us hoverboards

I never thought my 2nd Grade kid would be bringing notices like this home from school.
That said, I’m incredibly grateful the city are proactively reaching out to support vulnerable families.

We’ve taken in a visitor who’s trying to decide if this will be their forever-home. It’s bitey with surprising attack but we’re bonding…

Sitting in a car park listening to a super heartwarming story on This American Life with tears streaming down my face. Humanity isn’t completely fucked, y’know.

Correct but somebody’s at least buying the CD in the first place so the artist is making some sort of royalty from that product compared to the negligible return through major streaming services.

Both killer eps. Halfway to a Threeway gets a lot of airtime in this house and it’s nice to be reminded of how great the All Most Heaven 12” is.
See also the Marquis de Tren & Bonnie Billy 12” which came out around the same time.

Just overheard a guy in a coffee shop describe himself as a license plate aficionado. I didn’t stick around long enough to hear what he meant but it sure got me wondering

Ariel Pink presumably hopping into his Tesla and heading to Mar-a-Lago to thank Trump for pardoning the January 6 protestors. Listening to some John Maus for the road

I can’t believe we’re now being governed by a rapist with tiny hands and a couch fucker

Can’t stop enjoying this one. Album of the year round these parts.

TE-KWARO ALANGO-EKUKA, by Ekuka Morris Sirikiti 10 track album

nyegenyegetapes.bandcamp.com/album/te-kwa...

Album of the year 2024

This album landed in my life in December and totally disrupted my album of the year plans.
Ugandan lukeme player Ekuka Morris Sirikiti’s first studio album on Nyege Nyege Tapes is crucial stuff. It’s simultaneously urgent and hypnotic, and utterly, utterly beautiful.
