My three shouts for "at least one of these should be in everybody's collection".... At The Drive-In - Relationship Of Command Boards Of Canada - Music Has The Right To Children Slint - Spiderland

This and that clip of Liam Neeson in whatever film it was where he vaults over one fence in fifteen cuts always raises a chuckle. The fact the above won an award probably makes it the more egregious of the two. For posterity: Kevin Dunn would be proud.

The news about the lay-offs broke about a week after I'd gotten £100 in Bandcamp vouchers as a birthday gift, I panic-burned through that pretty quickly! In terms of mechanics, not a great deal seems to have changed as of yet, but I'm dreading the inevitable full-bore enshittification. If you've a sizeable collection, it'd be worth downloading it all at some point and storing locally.

Unsurprisingly, Alien³ getting less than it actually deserves there. And I think it's only fair to judge it on the superior Assembly Cut, because I bet pound to a penny that that Aliens rating is based on the Director's Cut, otherwise you're losing enough of the better moments (sentry guns, Ripley's daughter) that there's no way it could be better than Alien. It should be Alien and Aliens equal full bars and Alien³ a half-bar.

All physical purchases i.e. CDs for me, wherever possible. Not a huge fan of digital only releases, I only do vinyl if I absolutely have to, and I don't use Spotify. If I want to listen to something I've not heard before on a kinda try-before-buy basis, I tend to do that from Bandcamp (he said, nervously aware of all the bullshit going on over there at the moment ).

Last week has thrown up a new contender for me, at the very least it's my noodly-jam of the year: Oavette's self-titled debut.

Bonnacons are great, mind I've not gotten round to checking the new album yet. Need to get on that

James McCaffrey, voice actor behind Max Payne and other assorted characters in the Remedy-verse. One of the most iconic voices in gaming, his Max Payne was. Absolutely gutting.

Precisely what the Chewits adverts of the mid-80s got right as well. Powerful stuff.

It could be worse, I guess. We're traipsing up to Leeds for it, as she had initially tried and mercifully failed to get tickets to the London show, to which apparently Ed Sheeran turned up as a surprise support act. Think I'd have gone postal.

Very nice. I, erm, have to go and see The Darkness next week. It's my wife's fault. And to be fair, she has probably been to 100+ gigs of stuff that's bored her senseless, but I can't lie that a) a part of me will be dying inside and b) it is the closest I've come to considering if not divorce, at least a trial separation.

Puts them in the same esteemed company as Dion Dublin.

I have but a simple ask for January; with all our Spanish intel, can we finally, possibly, please for the love of all McGrath sign someone with the surname "Villa"?

A haiku: "El Jefe" Unai Emery my love for you is wider than John McGinn's shorts.

Laszlo? I only saw regular human bartender Jackie Daytona.

Gotten round to giving Atlanta a go. I was already enjoying it by that point, but episode 7 (the B.A.N. one) is absolutely top drawer TV, had to catch my breath. Tangentially related, the latest What We Do In The Shadows felt like a return to form after a slight lull in the previous season.

I trust someone has already made reference to it, but the greatest evil ever perpetrated by a ghost was giving Des'ree something to rhyme "most" and "toast" with.

I hit 10% of my body weight off a few weeks back, I'm now under 16 stone for the first time since COVID. My dream the impossible dream goal is 12.6 stone, for my height that'd actually move me firmly out of the "obese" BMI range for the first time since... late 20's maybe?
