Albums this week: nothing new, but things I wanted to listen to, especially the composition on Fontaines, Wolf Alice, The National, and SK's "The Woods" - which is SURREALLY 20 YEARS OLD this week.

Can't sleep on this train as it has an awful flat spot on a wheel I'm near and there are no other seats. Booooooo

I think people voted for you. There's got to be a little bit of remembering that people voted Labour as the least worse / most-if-not-perfectly aligned. A lot of people lent Labour their vote in the GE and this ain't helping.

This week's music was very enabled by a couple of train journeys and a night on the sofa with the stereo on. - Physical copy of Emotion (finally!) - Some digging into the 2010s with The National, Metronomy, and a perfect Lorde record - Jessie Ware doesn't get enough flowers for "That! Feels Good!"

My two points: (1) OH CHECK YOU YOU COULD AFFORD A SNES IN 1993 TO PLAY MARIO KART (2) We also had the murder of Jamie Bulger

I love that there's no logic to which CDs the PlayStation 1 will play. Just gave it a new 80 minute album - no issue. A 55 minute one? Bite me. A 45 minute one? Fine.

The Bends may be 30 years old but when you've been skipping Planet Telex for 17 years...
