This morning's earworm

This really does have an end of days feel to it now…

"Look, another miserable week from a Tranmere fan point of view....". Catching up with the post-Accrington @atttmpod.bsky.social hasn't been the cheeriest start to the weekend, and I fully expect us to compound it at Notts County this afternoon *sigh*

Brother Luke speaks the truth! Loved reading this, and the flashbacks to the Field Day & Madame Jojos gigs (along with a few others) it's provoked still hit *hard* - despite the fact 8am on a Saturday currently involves a quiet coffee whilst my 5 month old daughter snoozes away next to me...

Managed to fit this in just now, and it’s a beauty for a Sunday night shottatapes.bandcamp.com/album/rat-he...

The futility of waiting for the rain to be *slightly* less heavy before heading out with the dog

Well that was a pleasant surprise. Crawley must be properly shite, mind

Random 11 names out of a hat time from Crosby again, I see *sigh* #tranmere

God I'm missing playing football, need to find a new game ASAP

It’s been a very good week for record buying. When will I get the time to actually sit down and listen to them? That’s another question entirely….

Just made the mistake of reading's Tim Shipman's column on McSweeney... How and why is he treated as some sort of political journo doyen?!

Getting worrying 2014/15 vibes from Tranmere, now. Massive player turnover, complacency about the gap to the bottom 2, total disconnect between the fans and the squad…

Missed this yesterday due to life / work, but a new Gnod LP is always a cause for celebration - never mind 3 of 'em this year! Vol. 1 = ordered ✊

Once again the never ending rain has returned, of course, after the single day of respite *sigh*

The 5.23 to Paddington is a surprisingly busy train this morn' *yawn*

I should have done this ages ago - the sun's been out all day today!

People of Bristol, and the South West in general tbh, does it ever stop fucking raining?

Got the feeling we might be in for a hiding today, and I’ll be interested to see if it’s the moment the crowd properly turns #tranmere #trfc

Genius

Thursday night soundtrack #musicsky #vinyl earthsl.bandcamp.com/album/hex-or...

*Another* killer looking read from @whiterabbitbks.bsky.social!

These 5am starts are very much catching up with me *yawn*

"Investors in the property sector claim that, if ground rents are capped, landlords will no longer be able to fund essential repairs and some firms will go bust." - Fuck the fuck off

Dreamt I was on stage interviewing Sean Dyche and Lou Macari about The Cramps, as you do

Another great listen, and one that's definitely not just for The Fall heads!

It is very difficult to summon up anything other than apathy at 3pm on a Saturday, and has been for far too long. Cheers Mr Palios

One of the best to ever do it #thefall #markesmith

I've been having a(nother) Silver Jews & Purple Mountains binge recently, so this is perfectly timed thequietus.com/interviews/s...

Good morning all… *yawn*

Nodding along with pretty much everything @davestone1980.bsky.social is saying on the post-Walsall @atttmpod.bsky.social pod. Cowardly sums up the majority of the squad, sadly. Everything about the club is really fucking grim, and has been for far too long

I've unsurprisingly ended up going down a Lanegan rabbit-hole, and still livid I didn't get a ticket to his 60th celebration / memorial gig. Gillespie aside, obviously, this is so good youtu.be/XYPKUA9rWyo?...

A, very tired, Saturday night soundtrack youtu.be/EYhzz4JQ6g4?...

It's been said a million times - but we've got the most expensive season tickets in L2, and that's now 3 wins in *14* at home in the league this season.....

Watch Tranmere, or go for a stomp with the dog and Nico? The correct decision was clearly made

Not often heard on daytime radio, so hats off to @djdebgrant.bsky.social for blasting this out youtu.be/-az2KeSBwfQ?...

Had my first "I miss London" night, tonight, after 6 months. A few post-work pints (on a rainy night) in Soho with a mate have left me very much not wanting to hop on the train

6.30am trains call for a suitably meditative soundtrack youtu.be/omcoIQroZvw?...

It’s very difficult not to fucking hate Tranmere at times* *most of the time

Fair play to Macclesfield, what a result that is

Very much looking forward to Nico remembering she’s allowed to sleep for longer than 3 hours at a time *yawn*

Panic over, the emergency coffee has been located

First record of 2026 has indeed just been ordered, courtesy of the mighty @heycolossus.bsky.social....

Being up at 4.30 with Nico was *definitely* a different way of being up at 4.30 compared to previous years. Time for another coffee! *yawn*

Feels odd not to be suppng a pint already, so it’s safe to say New Years with a 3 and a half month kid will be a bit of a change of pace…

Picked this up for a tenner whilst having a little dig yesterday, and forgot how good it was. Just a bunch of raw, garage bangers made to be blasted loudly!

This is properly shite. Sunday league defending #tranmere

That was far, far too easy #tranmere

Safe to say this will be my first pre-order / record purchase of 2026. New Hey Colossus is good news for all!

Maybe I’ll turn on the cricket whilst doing the 5.30am feed… Oh dear

Raising a glass to all those with empty chairs today.
