I’m a Grimsby fan by default but followed Spurs since Gazza played for them and for all but about 2 seasons when Pochettino got us close it’s been this

I mean I won’t be applying for my Michelin Star anytime soon but I just made a Prawn Linguine with garlic, fresh chives and cherry tomatoes and it was absolutely outstanding 11/10 gear

A face that instantly makes you think “Fuck right off”

Historic 1850’s Glasgow landmark destroyed by a fucking vape shop fire couldn’t be any more on the nose for the state of the UK in 2026 really could it

Would have preferred a doc about those 2 if anything

Summoning Spring

Sun Ra - Sleeping Beauty (1979)

I bought this with a load of other Necks CDs a few years ago when I first started getting into them and I think it must have taken a back seat to ‘Townsville’ and ‘Sex’ which I remember playing a lot. So feeling like a new discovery. Incredible music.

Clocking in at just the hour this one. Lazy bastards.

same goes for alot of that late 90s / early 00s sickly American indie Sufjan Stevens etc . No thanks

The Flaming Lips. Not that I was a massive fan but kind of accepted music press line that they were were this era defining late 90s band but it just sounds like Teletubbies music. Couldn’t trust a grown up who says they’re still into Flaming Lips, definite hanging round the school gates energy

The Necks - Chemist (2006)

firmly in my VG+ era

Spent too much on a record yesterday but conscience rebalanced after picking these 2 up after work for a £10er.

That’s how it works right?

Ace Upsetters Dub version on the Police & Thieves 12”

hell yes

New Order - Technique (1989)

In love with New Order all over again

Thanks yeah i did manage to get one from Phonica in the end earlier today, saw Boomkat had in back in stock late on too.

if it’s any comfort Jen and as a fellow chief self tormentor in such matters I found this to be one of those rare ones where any fragile resistance over £££ crumbled away way too easy after one listen online

What’s a 78 etc !? Haha

that's bad

no - go and put it in the bin now

overrated
