Back in my music blogging days, we championed a fair few bands that we thought - & still for the most part think - deserved more recognition than they ever did.
Here's 5 of my favourite tracks from said artists, a decade & a half on:

God I really hope someone writes some very clever analysis telling us that Israel & the US attacking yet another country is only bad because China (boo!) is now 1000% about to attack Taiwan any second now.
My friend Alisha lost her mother in the cruelest way possible.
The killer never told her where the body was.
She was denied a final goodbye.
He's allowed to move forward, she'll never get the chance.
Refusing to say where the body is shows no remorse.

For the first time, I can say with confidence that the newest generation of HelloBike has a serious challenger.
On smooth roads, blue still takes it because it's lighter & quicker.
Everywhere else, I think we have a new champion.

There's a weird thing in UK politics.
Labour treats Reform as largely correct on the merits but bad at implementation.
It treats the Greens as wrong on the merits and so good at implementation they will destroy the country.
But that's... the opposite of how their actual likely voters feel?
Participation in hiking and camping has exploded in China recently. This is the queue for the ferry to start the Li River hike near Yangshuo

Chester's ability to simultaneously house both the most stunning examples of British architecture alongside the the ugliest never ceases to amaze me.
This place would have York & Edinburgh levels of tourism if they didn't build anything post war.

Expect an absolute avalanche of bullshit like this to try and force the idea that punishing Prince Andrew alone means everything is fixed.

Popped to Liscard earlier to grab some cheap Carhartt.
When I was younger I saw Liscard on the front of a bus & asked my Dad what it meant & he said 'nothing'.
Thought for years as a kid that 'Liscard' meant a bus was out of service.
