One of the best moments in music (and documentary) history.
The return of the Stone Roses, Shane Meadows looking at the crowd and mouthing "f*cking hell", Mani bouncing on stage & punching the air and then THAT bassline.
RIP to a legend of a fella

I remember the first time I heard Workers Song just a few years ago and it completely blew me away.
The power, the voice, the playing and the words.
Shameful that this music gets held hostage by a faceless corporation.

Soundtracking today's long run was the Peruvian shoegaze band, Los Membrillos.
Got this from KEXP's In Our Headphones - classic first wave shoegaze sound.
Los Pajaritos (The Little Birds) a highlight - the guitars build to sound like a flock of birds.

Interesting Guardian article on the new Spotify alternatives.
I really like the idea from Cantilever to have a limited number of albums to listen to at any one time.
Slows it down and gives time for proper listening.

Took my one year old to a babies and toddler group at the library this morning.
Half way through, we 'observed' a two minute silence for Armistice Day.
It was ambitious 😬

Normally I’m suspicious of re-releases, but this new Khruangbin album is so good.
Re-recording and releasing their debut exactly 10 years on with everything they've learned in the past decade.
Really light but still with that proper groove.

So is this a good song or a bad song? 🎃
Watched Fright Night for the first time last night and had it on repeat since.
Don't know if it's a guilty pleasure or a genuine banger.
