I really like this. Intricate chamber-pop songs that are enjoyable to unravel upon multiple listens madisoncunningham.lnk.to/AceAlbumNS

I interviewed someone today. He apologised at the outset for having a cough that might disrupt things. When I asked him questions he would mute himself, motion to cough while typing, then come off mute and give a semi-related ChatGPT-powered answer. If you’re reading this mate, you’re hired

I haven’t seen this on any AOTY lists and that’s a shame. I listened to it more than anything else in the final months of 2024. Far prettier and more earnest than anything Iceage have ever done, and the only album I’ve ever loved that mentions Luton. Spin me around, like lovers do

Just finished Mario vs. Donkey Kong.
Perhaps the perfect pocket puzzle-platformer: lots of bite-sized levels that are fun, not too taxing and don’t outstay their welcome. I dipped in and out while mostly avoiding the increasingly hard Hollow Knight.
Family were less convinced, but I enjoyed it.

An indescribable, perplexing feeling: discovering an album that ought to have soundtracked your younger years but of which you’d never heard before.

I left Twitter a year ago and haven’t looked back. The up/downside of that is that I’ve lost my desire to post anywhere: Mastodon didn’t click, nor Threads, nor (yet) here. With my newsletter on seemingly permanent hiatus I’m tentatively posting to my blog again, Kottke style: matthewculnane.co.uk
