An episode that is unlike any other WIM have done and for an album like this, totally works. WIM album club continues to be a monthly highlight

I loved Zeppelin's music in high school and college, and it's so refreshing to hear a measured, music-first take on them as (deeply, deeply flawed) human beings. Other biographers tend to treat them as idols or utter villains. If you haven't heard A History Of Rock Music In 500 Songs, you should.

@footballcliches.bsky.social This in an Athletic article today has me scratching my head. Yes Bayindir was powerless to stop the actual header, but he was also responsible for the header happening in the first place? And ironically had he been more powerful, the situation would have been avoided

Imagine scoring a goal THIS good and not even getting the satisfaction of the ball so much as touching the net 😭😭😭

ICYMI: This week we talked about Arctic Monkeys in 2006. An EP, a single, their tours, and a lineup change! Listen now (if you want)!

My favourite one like this is Don Henley getting Brian to autograph a copy of Pet Sounds. Brian signed it "thanks for all the great music" then thought for a second, crossed out "great", and wrote "good"

My favourite podcast doing a season on a band I’m mostly middling on. I get the feeling I’ll come out of it feeling more positive but it’s going to be a good ride

Keir Starmer eats the salad in an Indian takeaway

OG Final Fantasy VII mixed with Match of the Day 2. I can see Barrett being a pundit

Always get excited for the match when there hasn’t been one for a while. I’m expecting to be bored shitless by 10 mins in

My favourite podcast. My boys. Warning: kissing increases after listening

Last five gigs I’ve been to Australian Pink Floyd Pearl Jam UK Seattle Thrift Store Jack White Radiohead tribute act in a cathedral

I was lying on the couch one day watching MTV2. Eat You Alive by Limp Bizkit came on, I’d not heard it before, so left it on. My dad came in the room while it was playing to get something. It got to the chorus, Fred emphasising he will eat you alive. My dad just said “no you won’t” and left

youtu.be/LipcAZzXGw4?... Wish this was on the album proper

I finished Final Fantasy VII Rebirth yesterday. This whole remake series is on course to - somehow - be even better than the original game
