Entry #55 – What I’ve Been Listening To Lately: January 2026 (a.k.a Future and future past)

I’m sure like me you wanted to start your new year off in a big way, shaking off the old and bringing in the new. In my case I thought I might continue expanding my horizons and keep listening to more electronic stuff. And I did, to be fair. With precisely two albums. But toContinue reading “Entry #55 – What I’ve Been Listening To Lately: January 2026 (a.k.a Future and future past)”

Thirty Days of Music, Day Twenty Six

Good morning, it is Boxing Day, and we are feeling the effects of what we indulged in yesterday. Me personally, I had salmon and nibbles for lunch, a delicious roast served up by my Dad, and half a Terry’s chocolate orange from m’stocking, all washed down by a couple of G&Ts.

But if the truth be told, I’ve just been juggling work and lazyitis. Saying that though, life can change ratherContinue reading “Entry #44 – A Selection of What I’ve Been Listening to Lately (a.k.a Insert obligatory GTA San Andreas meme here)”

Entry #35 – A New Morning (a.k.a A False Dawn)

A New Morning is precisely no Suede fan’s favourite album. Upon release in 2002 it quickly developed a reputation for being lightweight, blasé, dull, same-old same-old, all the derogatory terms magazines like the NME and Q Magazine could pull from the dictionary to describe a band running on fumes. So why am I bothering toContinue reading “Entry #35 – A New Morning (a.k.a A False Dawn)”
