I thought Carrie was poor but wow, The Life of Chuck is abysmal. Now I'm questioning whether my enjoyment of Midnight Mass was false.

For two decades I've stood firmly by my belief that Cliff Richard's Millennium Prayer is the single shittiest song in existence. I guess it's nice to see he's gunning for another one. Good on him.

My word, I hated Flanagan's Carrie.

I'm disappointed by the new Avalanches album. It should be something I adore: plunderphonics, shuffling through dance music history, an electronic music version of The Residents' Commercial Album. It has ideas for days, a few of them stick, all for something very anaemic.

We're at a point in the UK where we're banning books because the author is anti-genocide. Absolutely fucking pathetic.

Fighting PlayStation's corporate greed by using AI to decompile source codes. So punk!

Who considers themselves left wing and actively votes for Labour?

A proper first world problem: I now have 2GB internet but all my devices' ethernet ports are limited to 1GB.

Saying this with a horrible head cold, but I'm so tired of the weather remaining in light summer mode. Bring back single digit temperatures please.

Watching this after years of caring for elderly people and just last week returning home from a trip to Wales where I accidentally took my mum up some mountain pass that was the highest highest road in the north of the country certainly gave it a lot of extra meaning. It's an incredible film.

I'm really going to indulge in this month's Sight & Sound.

Woah! Lost In Cult are doing film stuff now?!

I gave this album a listen in my early 20s, thought it was alright, then again in my early 30s and thought the same thing. Now at 42, this is one of the best things I've ever heard. I'm such an idiot.

labour will treat gangs of racists with kid gloves as they view them as a potential voting bloc to pick up. protest genocide & you're a terrorist, though

The sign that you've made it is getting into Kojima's studio and having your picture posted on the socials with him. Not bad, YouTube CGI and liminal space nerd.

Here's a really stupid video I made but I'm giggling at my own joke here. It combines music, gaming, and books into one.

Picked up some cinema from a charity table. It stood out amongst all the rubbish airport romance literature, like a diamond in the rough. A movie you most watch happy view

Alright fine, I'll play it all again for the umpteenth time.

It's been many years since the days of NoDo but for a brief moment they appeared to be making a comeback in a small car park in Leicester @broughy.com

Lovely.

The panic from hearing that wildfire text alert sound was like feeling the car I'm driving starting to slide while travelling at 70mph.

RIP William Orbit. He was one of pop's great producers.

I've been going through this series from the start and it's been fun, like slowly eating a big bowl of random pick and mix sweets, some delicious, some horrible (UB40 are inescapable). I've yet to discover some lost gem though, all the best songs are the ones we remember now.

Danielle Dax's Bed Caves is still the coolest thing in the world. youtu.be/UOpqYPVPqkk?...

Yesterday I saw that Current 93 features on Bladee's latest album which came out in May, now I've learned David Cronenberg is on Charli XCX's which came out today.

Week 1 (heatwave): Car AC breaks, "booked for 8 days time" Week 2 (hot): Take it in, "part is broken, replacement is £700, return in 8 days to get it fitted" Week 3 (hot): Take it in again, they drain my money out, fit it in, AC still blows hot air. They're closed until Monday.

Resisting the temptation to post things.

Just the world cup traumatising me with Ted Lasso, one of the worst things to ever be released to the public by anyone.

What a thriller of a game. Watch the final be a real snoozer.

The classic England we all know is back!

All tournament everyone was terrified of France, and now this.

Gotta respect Tuchel. He steered the team in exactly the way England expect: being crap and disappointed by its country.
