Afternoon working tunes 👌 #TheWarOnDrugs

Discogs strikes again. Bought a record, record arrived, record sleeve is absolute shite despite being listed as ‘very good+’ now it’s going back. If they piss me around with a refund then they’ll be trouble.

Today’s #MeansToMe thread 🧵is about the Crowded House song ‘I Walk Away’ from the self titled debut. Reply to this post with: * your particular interpretation of it or what it means to you * what feelings, memories or images it evokes Today’s song is a random pick!

Today marks 8 years of Dusty being picked up from the rescue centre and coming home to live with us. She now basically owns the house, has more beds and toys than is strictly necessary and lets us know when it’s dinner time by shouting louder than a docker. Happy gotcha day you furry monster ❤️

Online posts that claim ‘this is a game changer!’ and just end up being something that is pretty useless. Not sure I’ve ever had my game changed tbh.

Usually I get W telling me the music I like is shite, but I’ve just played him this and he’s decided he likes it. The War On Drugs - I Don't Live Here Anymore www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVh6...

We are sorting recording an upcoming episode on our podcast - @notesaboutsound.bsky.social - about ‘Rockin’ the Suburbs’ at 25. Hoping to publish in time for the September anniversary. Now, if @actualbenfolds.bsky.social would like to join us, reminisce and have a laugh then the offer is there 😀❤️

Listens are slowly creeping up for episode 9, but it could be better!! 💥 If you want to check out us chatting about the album ‘Cake’ by the Trashcan Sinatras then you can find us on Mixcloud or Spotify. Links below 👇 www.mixcloud.com/NotesAboutSo... open.spotify.com/show/3rnd1oE...

Not even released yet and this is already online. And loads of actual fans (me included) didn’t get the chance to buy cos arseholes like this bought to resell. If you want to make money that’s fine, but it’s very frustrating for people who are collectors and love the band. End of my Ted Talk.

Bought Dusty some of those Churu Cat Treats as everyone raves about how much cats are obsessed with them. She didn’t even finish it. Typical Dust. Anything expensive, she doesn’t like, but give her some cheap shit and she loves it 😸

Burton on it’s too fucking hot. Fucks sake.

As it heats up again, here’s a reminder for hot weather and blood cancer 👇

I had matcha once. It tasted like grass clippings.

Missed the signed BFF vinyl as working out if I could afford the shipping and it’s now gone. So annoyed. No idea if I should get the unsigned one now. If it’s being released in the uk I’ll wait, but if not we could do with knowing as I’ll have to take a chance.

Yeah, I’m a bit of a cunt. But I don’t care.

Sounds like the liner notes for the reissue are the ‘essay’ Ben wrote last year. Very cool. Now, I’m not going to suggest it was due to me as I’m sure it would’ve come about anyway, but yeah. I’m taking this one 😉❤️

30th anniversary of the self titled debut by Ben Folds Five is now up for pre-order. Good for US folks, but the fees for UK aren’t great so hoping there may be a UK release 🤞 www.udiscovermusic.com/news/ben-fol...

Interesting. Look what has appeared on streaming - Original 7” version of Jackson Cannery and Eddie Walker. What could it all mean? open.spotify.com/album/2Wx1AW...

A day late, but happy 38th birthday to ‘Mediocre Follow-Up’ by Crowded House! 😉❤️ Full of brilliant tracks, but what’s your fave?

Tonight’s film: D-Tox (2002) Stallone being Stallone I guess. I’ve read the book and seen the film before so knew the outcome which made it a bit whatever, but an okay way to spend an hour and a half.

Having a bit of a break so got loads of books to read while I try to get some rest. I’ve finished the top one and now onto the next one down 👍

Tonight’s film: Quarantine (2008) Remake of the Spanish film Rec (2007) and jumpy as fuck.

All sorts of speculation going on after the appearance of the new BFF Instagram yesterday inc: • a reissue of the debut inc the version BFF didn’t like • a 30th anniversary version of WAEA for next year • a tour on either/both • a new album I’m sure @actualbenfolds.bsky.social will let us know ❤️

Serendipity. Just realised it was 29 years ago today that I first saw BFF live and today there is a cryptic video released. Oooh. Yes, it’s all linked 🤣

Hydration break music is shite.

An official Ben Folds Five account posted this on Instagram Reels today. What this is for remains to be seen, though one could easily speculate that a self-titled reissue of some sort is being teased at the bare minimum. Very exciting! www.youtube.com/shorts/Eque7...

Yeah, so. This profile has appeared on Instagram 😱 Reunion??!! 🤞❤️ www.instagram.com/benfoldsfive...

Today marks 35 years of the album Woodface by the amazing Crowded House!! ❤️ Difficult question, but what are your favourite tracks?

This was something I needed to see today as I’m feeling pretty flat tbh. The recent hot weather has absolutely floored me due to my PV blood cancer and I felt really unwell which I’ve never had before due to heat. A reminder to be kind to yourself is most appreciated 🙂

Episode 9 of our podcast is now available!💥 This time I picked the album ‘Cake’ by The Trashcan Sinatras for Jamie to listen to. Featuring me getting my facts wrong (sorry TCS) and a Cilla Black impression (it was the heat) check it out here 👇 www.mixcloud.com/NotesAboutSo...
