Easing myself into the day with this beauty. I read about this project in the summer then totally forgot about it, but have just seen they've got some dates in December! It's pretty lazy to compare Garwood to Lanegan, *but* this does have some echoes of the latter... youtu.be/SaeszoPOJAc?...

Shameful, yep, but also depressingly predictable
The UK, where the day after a decision to take half a million children out of poverty, the media & political world has been full of sneering at those same children & their families, labelling them as ‘Benefits Street’, while the same people are moaning about a tax on £2m mansions. Shameful stuff.

Funny that, isn’t it….
The "don't have an extra kid if you can't afford it" brigade get awfully upset when you suggest they don't stay in their £2m house if they can't afford it, don't they?

This will look great in the new house I think....
BAM! We’re back with the stuff of dreams, a new collab with legend David Keenan, turning This Is Memorial Device into a gloriously tactile, Glasgow-made letterpress art print. Numbered, signed, only 100. Cult-novel magic for your wall. More news soon. 😎

Ah ffs, I’ve just seen The Saints were playing here tonight and I totally missed it

Tranmere haven’t posted *anything* about any of our games in here since the Bristol Rovers win a month ago. No line-ups, results, nothing. But now we’re randomly doing live commentary of our FA Youth Cup 2nd round game? Literally nothing this club does make sense these days

Current earworm that's helping me through today. Some Pussy Galore nods, I reckon, alongside Kleenex and The Raincoats. Anyway, it's a banger! youtu.be/r7RYa5WEuGg?...

Morning all *yawn*

God, we got lucky there. So much poor decision making all over the pitch after the first 20-odd minutes. A win’s a win though, to be fair
November 15, 2025 at 4:54 PM
We deserve a bit of luck for once. Got to make the most of this now

The second half of this is very good, and Leon's bang on regarding the amateur state of the way the club's been run for years now. It's killing us, has been for ages, and will never change under the Palios' sadly
“His celebration said a lot...it was a typical goal.”

Joe Ironside netted his first home goal for Tranmere on Tuesday. Speaking on the News Show, Leon Kearney says it could be the first of many if #TRFC play to his strengths. Subscribe to listen

Accidentally turned on R4, and the first thing I hear is Charles Moore talking about how to “fix” the BBC. The guy is an absolute lunatic, yet for some reason is still given airtime and prominence

Truer words will not be uttered today
ofc people should be judged on merit which is why matt and most of the commentariat should be summarily fired

Fucking Tranmere, I called it as soon as we equalised *sigh*

Morning all. Were already an hour in over here, so it’s gonna be a long day…*yawn*

Obviously had to stick this on straight afterwards, and it still feels like a punch in the face of the world. Absolutely majestic and utterly brutal. The second half of Blaise Bailey Finmegan IIII will blow *anyone’s*’ head off godspeedyoublackemperor.bandcamp.com/album/slow-r...
