Generalist. Curable optimist. Increasingly appreciative of the gaps between the songs.

Tonight I learned that in the real world, coyotes can run twice as fast as roadrunners (64km/h vs 32km/h at a sprint), and who can you even trust anymore?

Stayed up late to watch the final episode of #Citadel (Amazon Prime) in the hope that some revelation or twist would somehow justify the time I’d wasted on it. Given that it’s only 6 eps long and I’d already given up twice, chances were slim. [1/2]

If you’re unfamiliar with Citadel, imagine Mission Impossible as a daytime soap opera about spies with amnesia, in which sometimes the camera goes upside down because metaphors. Final episode is basically Thunderbirds. Two stars. [2/2]

If you haven’t watched episode 5 of Secret Invasion yet and, like me, you’ve been struggling with how dreary the whole thing is, I’m happy to say that with just three words, Olivia Colman makes the whole endeavour worthwhile.

Hard to choose when it’s a record that has seven ‘best songs’ on it, but I think I see myself as a ‘Time Out Of Mind’ guy.

This is amazing. UK friends: seek out the whole song. The album. No - scratch that. Seek out the whole career and back catalogue.

Immediately ordered and repeat-listened to the five pre-release tracks. All very Strawsy and lovely. Forgot to Forget is an instant favourite for me - but Baby It’s You is such a treat, like an RTR flashback in a warm bath.
Finally got our shit together! New Strawpeople album out August 4, pre order on Bandcamp or pre save streaming platforms via link below and yes there’s vinyl too! Look at the lovely cover photo by Angus McNaughton. lnk.to/Knucklebones

Possibly not new info to anyone, but the new Straws has a Straws-y cover of ‘Baby It’s You’ by Promises, which I am very pleased about. Right up there with Have A Little Faith, only slower. strawpeople.bandcamp.com/alb…

Is it just me, or was anyone else expecting Secret Invasion to be substantially better than this? I mean, I wasn’t anticipating high art, but TV writing has come quite a long way since the A-Team.

This very good EP appears to be actively hiding. It’s the most Google-resistant recording I’ve encountered for a long time. wordplaymagazine.com/blog-1/…

Not that I have insomnia, but my brain just made a connection between the electric toothbrush in Gregory’s Girl and the pager in Local Hero. One about youthful irresponsibility, the other about abandoning conventional adulthood. Mac chooses to end where Gregory begins, in a way.

I’m someone who will automatically buy anything that Jan Bang has had any sort of a hand in. But this is particularly special and I somehow missed it when it came out last year. Remedied now, and I have the vinyl so you needn’t fret. daifujikurajanbang.bandcamp.…
