A new song, done simply, first take, with rare decisiveness. Better early than never. #singersongwriter #jeffbuckley #billybragg Also on SoundCloud on.soundcloud.com/rhZcL3UESVfK...

It's good that incidental music in TV programmes has moved on from pinky plonky ukulele/glockenspiel/whistling, but the grinding staccato strings that replaced it sounds exactly the same on every programme on telly at the moment.

Sometimes you have to ask, if Punk IPA hadn't been invented and over marketed, would every pub in the country still find itself in 2026 overran with identikit mass produced bland IPAs? The silent replacement of a decent bitter as The Non Lager Option with something hop flavoured lager adjacent. .

Farage having Reform snap up mediocre Tories reminds me of Souness at a Benfica.

Just listening to the fall out about Burnham on Radio 4 with a furious John McDonnell and there's a belting headline to be written: John McDonnell mad at Starmer (N-E, N-E-C)

The unseen episode of Desmond’s where their plane crashes and they run out of food

My own personal attempts at song writing produces stuff I like, overly smart turns of phrase, overly smart guitar, but I'm always lacking choruses. Spontaneously sung a few lines with my toddler when playing with his toy railway last weekend. He's still singing it. So I'm going to reuse that.

Big Heavenly news day. First of all, we are announcing a new album, Highway To Heavenly! skepwax.myshopify.com/products/hea...

I feel very seen, here.

'we all end up in the P-U-B'

2026, a number, another summer. Get down to the sound of the funky drummer.

Guys. It's officially Rockaway week.

All I'm saying is that if some people can claim Die Hard is a Christmas film, then there's a definite argument for Half Man Half Biscuit's All I Want For Christmas Is A Dukla Prague Away Kit being a Christmas song.

Best programme of all time. So many incredible characters and so easy to overlook some of them. Joan and Eddie are understated genius.

Innit. And if you are going to video it, bin off the visible mics. Use a boom like they do on the telly. Keeping visible podcast style mics is giddy.

I'm surprised it's taken me a fortnight to trot out my only piece of festive cheer: THE TWELVE DAYS OF CHRISTMAS. Warning: contains 364 Daves. Other Daves are available. The value of your Daves may go up as well as down. youtu.be/t2obBD7seSM?...

Tough one. I think I'd have to say "The Very Best Of Elvis Costello and The Attractions".

Had a minging cold yesterday so just spent the last 10 hours in a fever dream where I just kept seeing the universe at the smallest scale, then the largest scale, and repeat and none of it made any sense.

I agree with the 'mansion tax' as a measure, but as usual, everything has a gimmicky name and I can't help but think the name Mansion Tax doesn't really help as it's just led to lots of 'well *my* house isn't a *mansion*' instead of 'well, I do own a very valuable asset whilst lots of people can't'

I genuinely don't understand why a proposal like this is seemingly controversial.

And now, the end is near And so I face the final curtain My friend, I'll say it clear I'll state my case, of which I'm certain I've lived a life that's full I traveled each and every highway And....

I was looking for a bed and then I found a bed and heaven knows I'm comfortable now

Finally pulled my finger out and got a ticket for The Weddoes in Brighton next August for At The Edge Of The Sea. Just the Friday though. To celebrate, here's my overwraught cover of My Favourite Dress. on.soundcloud.com/uuMnLSnKLe7J...

Looks like they made it as far as Stockport

I just did the international sign for ‘Can I have the bill please?’ and the waiter brought me a stylophone.

My life is just me suddenly being aware it's about 16.40 and I've not achieved all the stuff I set out to do that day, so I better dutifully readd them to tomorrow's to do list in the futile hope tomorrow will be different.

Benfica fans last night 🤣

For those that have been, what is Victoria Warehouse in Manchester like? Contemplating going to a gig there. I moved away before it opened and have never been. I've heard it's not great. Is that right?

Funny in the press how any proposal to raise taxes, however justified or not, is always called a Tax Raid, whilst any proposal to reduce benefits is never a Benefits Raid.

I just watched the first episode of this, after changing the channel to BBC2 by accident at 10pm. I'm glad I did, I ruddy loved it.

There's something rotten in the state of park

But Delphi 13 was only released last month (niche post)

Saturday's the day we play the game.

"I went to the Netherlands last year" "Utrecht?" "No, I flew. It's too far to walk."

A pretty niche post this for Cubase using YouTube viewing WWE fans, but I've never seen Dom Sigalas and Seth Rollins together at the same time. Make of that what you will.

Quite. And people used to walk single file on pavements.

📰 CLUB STATEMENT The club has opted out of the Trident Leagues’ new scheme which will see kick-off times moved to accommodate live streaming of matches. Our full statement can be read on our website: fc-utd.co.uk/news-story/c... #WeAreStrongerUnited

This reminds me I should remind the world: I have trademarked Dank Sidebottom.

Also FA Cup final songs.

if you’ve ever watched the apprentice, that’s the world without arts or humanities degrees

Same. Unless it's a really good notebook then I'm reluctant to spoil it by using it, so it sits pristine and redundant on the shelf.
