This’ll do. #DangarIsland.

Not a beach day.

Not bad for a Tuesday night #MJLenderman.

Sometimes Spotify just fails. Like with this, the original version of Candida that was released shortly before the Tony Orlando/Dawn version became a hit. How that version became a number 1 around the world, while this one stalled in the charts, is completely baffling to me. youtu.be/e5v0ho9NkMU

Just got a pig butchering opener. It’s nice to feel wanted 🥹

Never get bored of this view. #SydneyOperaHouse

Staying out of the sun this afternoon. First ever time in the Joan Sutherland theatre! #Candide.

Making the most of the last days of summer. Fresh water swimming at Parramatta Lake.

Mahler 3. I hope I understand what’s going on I haven’t seen the first two.

Happy to discover today that not only is Miki Berenyi a Spurs fan, but she contributed vocals in 1991 to a song called And David Seaman Will Be Very Disappointed About That 😂 youtu.be/dxs2JgzNiqk

Was supposed to be going to see Max Richter last night, but ended up here instead. Everyone is fine, but I did find out that in this country apparently you have to pay for ambulances. Wtf Australia?!

Welcome to country #GillianWelch and #DavidRawlings at the #SydneyOperaHouse

Night adventures.

A nice view from the house we just arrived at. I think we’ve got solid rain for the next five days though 😕.

JFC every time I plan a few days away 😕

New Year’s Day and I’m binge watching Squid Game to get prepped for the vibe of ‘25.

Gravity seems to have increased slightly over Christmas.

If I had a nickel for every time I've seen a movie this month where the young beautiful lead actress tragically died shortly after filming, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

Oh man this brings back memories. I went to see #TheMagneticFields in London back in 2000. They played 69 Love Songs in full over two nights, but I couldn't really afford both so only went to the first. I hope they come to Oz next year so I can finally complete the second half youtu.be/wnFQn7GD1rg

There’s a lot of young people going to discover Bob Dylan in the coming months.

Saturday morning and I’m watching The Young Girls of Rochefort, a movie I didn’t know existed until about 10 minutes ago. It’s quite mesmerising..

It’s #SpotifyWrapped time of year again. #Waxahatchee #TheBeths #Wednesday #MJLenderman #Ride

Loved #Waxahatchee tonight at the #SydneyOperaHouse. Gig of the year!

That was a fun start to the weekend. #BobMould at #MetroTheatre

Been invited to a gig tonight for an artist I know nothing about (apart from the fact he used to be in Hüsker Dü). Gotta deep dive into the discog for the next few hours..

Cloudy skies.

Excellent Bowie retrospective youtu.be/kxvBv0QsOFI

BAAAT!!

Sometimes I wake up and think, what if I’ve completely forgotten how to do my job today?

Welcome to the Eternal September of Bluesky.

Refusing to comply with my wife’s request to switch the kettle on until it is made in the correct format. That is, by singing the outro to Genesis’s 1980 hit Turn It On Again. I have to keep myself entertained somehow.

Typing random words into search and seeing what interesting people I find. Today's words: cities I've lived in.

Ooh new season of What We Do in the Shadows has dropped. That’s the rest of my Sunday morning sorted.

I sometimes wonder how many tourist photos I must have ruined over the years by accidentally getting in the background. Must be at least 100 million I reckon.

My relationship with social media. www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_Qd...

Followed a bunch of people when I first joined here and then nothing for 9 months, so having a little look around today. If I just followed you it's probably because you mentioned a band I like at some point in the last year :)

Kookie keeping me company while I hang out the washing.
