15 years ago I was lucky enough to witness the album 'Hadestown' (which became a West End show) performed live at the Union Chapel.

My Top 40 Loved Graphic Novels... I love titles that tend to have either (a) genuine emotional resonance beyond genre element, or (b) such committed execution that the craft itself becomes the point.
This is all entirely subjective and meaningless of course! thoughts.encosion.com/2026/01/24/t...

Woke up to both sunshine AND this news this morning... Faraquet!?! Live in (almost) my neighbourhood? Hopefully they'll sneak a Brighton or Hastings gig in between Leeds and London shows. This is huge for me.

Apple has made a $230 iPhone sock 😅 the iPhone Pocket is actually a knitted bag, and Apple will start selling it on Friday www.theverge.com/news/818328/...

Can you hear the difference? Strap on some headphones and give it a try... Can people actually distinguish between different bitrates of modern audio compression? Rather than relying on ego / reddit / forum debates I built a proper double-blind test! thoughts.encosion.com/2025/11/11/c...

I've always been curious about audio compression: at what bitrate does Opus become truly transparent? Can most people actually distinguish between 96kbps or 160...

Mates of State seared into my brain from many years ago. In a good way. This is a long forgotten venue - the Arts Cafe, London (I remember seeing @davebazan.bsky.social there - I think?)

A very much younger me once had tickets to see Samiam. I ditched them after listening to a couple of Oxes MP3s online. I remember thinking it could be a mistake. It wasn't. Still one of my favourites. Even made a life long friend recognising a stranger in an Oxes tee at a greasy spoon in Shoreditch

This resonates... Years ago I was following similar rules, apart from #4 "if you aren't enjoying a book, stop reading it immediately" ...I got stuck on a book I didn't want to give up on and it ruined all my momentum and joy.
