Thirty Days of Music, Day Nineteen

Serious talk for a moment. 2025 has been a godawful year, not just in general but for my family. I won’t go into detail but a lot of shit has come our way and it has meant that I have been thinking about life in general. Like, is this how it’s meant to be?

Thirty Days of Music, Day Eight

It’s Christmas season so of course I’m going to talk about drugs and alcohol! Day 8: A song about drugs or alcohol 2020: “Animal Nitrate”, Suede What’s better than a song about drugs?

Second Coming was dismissed for notContinue reading “Entry #43 – Liam Gallagher & John Squire (a.k.a Bugger it, I should’ve called this Shrug of the Shoulders of Giants!)”
