It's been a while since Discovery offered anything interesting. Probably something to do with AI feedback loops.
Anyway found this by Dave Gahan's (Depeche Mode) daughter Stella Rose.
Eclectic 2023 album of PJ Harveyesque moody rock with riot grrl inflection on the vocals and strong songwriting.

Nowhere even close to conversational, but on the upside I can say "My tailor is rich and my mother is in the kitchen"

Random delve into the CD shelves brought this up from Swedish post rockers Jeniferever.
It somehow manages to be both glacial and cuddly, Explosions in the Sky meet Boards of Canada via Bungle from Rainbow playing a tuba.

First decent release of the year comes from The Twilight Sad. Maybe 2026 won't be so bad after all.

lol, have only just twigged why I'm seeing so many posts about the January 6th insurrection :D

Very good. It focuses on latin america, but the biggest erosion of US power will come due to antagonism to Europe.
Post-war security was to keep Europe peaceful, rich & demilitarised.
Trump is ensuring a powerful military and economic adversary will eventually emerge.

Lol, what the hell reddit? My profile pic has been flagged as NSFW, which as you can see from the second photo, must be because it contains Dick.

Something about her cameras suck the horror out of monochrome night photos, but they can still be a bit hammer

The only lesson to be learnt is with no veneer of rule of law, there's no point bringing countries into your SoI if the government can be toppled and replaced by a US governor.
If might makes right then better off spending money on the military than in the belt and road.

Abaddon loving his Christmas present. Only a 10 panic when we thought the dog had eaten him. Let's just say he IS VERY good at hiding

Eschewing Bing, Maria etc al for a bit of Lorn whilst Xmas cooking. This is a mini tour de force, Anvil an outright masterpiece.
No idea why or if this is significant but my mind always conjours up Tombs of Atuan for some weird reason when listening to it.

Got to love those Honest Government Ads.

I mean, heaven forbid governments legislated for anything found to have mental, social and physical harm, we don't want to upset the tech bros do we.

Now that the Santa thing is revealed to all, the boys have taken over Elfie. Eldest excelled himself last night.

Ok, AOTY list, not in any particular order.
In ten minutes time it'll be a different list, but I guess gotta commit to paper at some point.

Very much enjoying Alan Moore's The Great When. Guffaw per page quotient is very high.
