Had a brilliant night with #OracleSisters at @bandonthewall.bsky.social last night. Tight and fun with a brilliant cover of ‘Teardrop’ at the end. You really must see this band if you get the chance.

Surely time for a new Tame Impala album?

I will be retaliating against these tariffs by making my posts 20% longer, taxing the most valuable resource of all, time, which you are now wasting more of if you kept reading all the way to the end here

Perhaps it’s the hangover speaking but - my god - Paddington 2 has to be the greatest work of art in a generation
