Little piece of history nestling inside my “Miseducation of Lauryn Hill” CD. No email address on the data collection, and the “where do you normally buy records?” question reads like a roll call of the departed.
Makes the continued survival of HMV look miraculous.

While I'm not quite at the point of losing my house, the harm ai has done to my animation work income is huge, like 80% gone and it makes me wonder how many freelance artists and animators ARE losing everything while billionaire con men continue to rake it in.

So kind of England to get the cricket all out of the way before #lufc kick off tomorrow, so we can keep to one frustration at a time.
Starting the week with the inspiring realisation that we’ve got the prospect of an #lufc fixture and England playing cricket coming up this weekend.
Yay.

The Chart Show introduced me to music that wouldn’t have been a teen goth’s first choice of music (Steve Earle, Georgia Satellites).
This rabble of suited cockney thugs are one of the best live bands I’ve seen - just got tickets to their Brudenell show in February.

Hadn’t heard the name Dominic Cummings in a while. Just as pleased with himself as ever:
“If the inquiry says I got anything right, bear in mind it’s probably got this wrong too"

Someone posted a link to Fools Gold, so I started listening to it while scrolling and then picked up the news about Mani.
I was doubtful about The Stone Roses at the time, but this is such a tune and the restraint in his bass parts are something else. Impeccable gaps.

I know there’s a lot of discontent about recruitment, but I can’t be alone in thinking this #lufc squad should be better than the sum of Farke’s parts?

Not able to watch it, but just checked stats on BBC - I assume there’s a problem with the feed for the #lufc stats, because apparently we’re not involved?
