Well done Galway. As comfortable and dominant a second half in the All Ireland SF as I can remember in recent times. Easy.

There's been a lot of good, new releases so far this year - Daniel Romano, Bevis Frond, Boards of Canada, Simon Love, The Junipers, Spencer Collum, The Hanging Stars, Tara Clerkin Trio, The Coral, The Notwist. Here's a wee summary playlist if you're so inclined open.qobuz.com/playlist/664...

12 pt swing in 20mins. What a match in the All Ireland.

Yard Act were very, very good tonight.

Munster Hurling final has been great. Extra time about to start.

I find A Rainy Night in Soho so beautiful/sad I can barely listen to it - I think Bob unexpectedly covering it might have floored me. www.hotpress.com/music/bob-dy...

This is a lovely bit of writing about a wonderful place. I was at the first Pogues show last week and the look on Spider's face...the Barras was special to him. And Peter gets that, and captures it here in the details.

Brilliant, unbridled mayhem at The Pogues tonight. It’s so cool when the band loves the Barrowlands as much as the audience.

Nairn Beach

Cromarty. Obvs stopped by the brewery shop.

Halfway through The Agency. Really enjoying it - slow burning but each episode moves thing along, uncertainty over how things will play out and strong performances all round.

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahaha.... etc

Some new music I've been enjoying recently, including some I missed last year or got into late '24 Very happy these guys are still making new music. Gets stronger as it goes on. In a similar vein of recent releases, variation but still has louder moments. Hits a lot of sweet spots. Very good

Hahaha, one of the best OGs you'll see

Thankfully no extra time, awful match. Hibs snatch a 88th min goal.

Oh yes!

New music alert: This is wonderful. Some nice VU influences. Really enjoying it. flora-hibberd.bandcamp.com/album/swirl

For self styled masters of the universe, the tech bros really are incredibly craven Exhibit #3624

First time I've watched the Uncloaked thing...they talk such rubbish about about the show. Probably as these these shows tend to be but grating after a disappointing last few episodes. This season didn't get going really, and not as good as the last run

Leverkusen just can't live with Atletico's 'know-how' in the second half. Now down to ten themselves.

Paul Lambert: ‘Zinedine Zidane just looked at me and said “bloody hell”’

Your heart has been broken again. It's broken.

We should be out of sight, but credit to Dundee. That was a cracking goal on the counter.

Jazz question. If I've been enjoying these two albums recently, what would you recommend for me next?

Lovely goal. Credit to Taylor and McCowan both. Great start.

This is a brilliant album, one of my favourites from this year
