Dublin was *incredible*. One of my favourite gigs ever. They’re the nicest people I’ve had the pleasure to meet.

The Hudsucker Proxy is a New Year film, but those generally don’t get considered, so it goes on my Christmas list.

Goat are awesome, they’re great live too.

That roll he does on Long Tall Sally that goes on for a full chorus is absolutely grade A amazing drumming.

Living On The Edge? Is that one of theirs? Something like that. There's a stop quarter note stop for a key change, and a 737 chose that exact moment to take off from East Midlands airport and fly over the audience from behind the stage at an altitude almost low enough to be hit with a piss bottle.

Its a genuine happy place for me. Not only are they the best band to have existed, they are the ur text, the dictionary definition for being a band.

Disney+. It's had a lovely 4K remaster and they've done the Giles Martin demixing thing so it sounds better than ever.

It may not be their song but when you can play it *that well* of course you’re going to play it.

Or credit.

There's also the fact that the Caesers made sure there was subsidised food for the people of Rome to alleviate the threat of revolts and riots. So some sort of state welfare did exist, you utter barmpot.

It was like having marbles thrown at you.

Also, it just seems to exist in the weird twilight world of “for the tourists upper-middle class” Britain where people with a colossal designer house in Oxford are somehow considered everyday run of the mill people, a bin is never overflowing, there’s never a queue, and Poundland doesn’t exist.
