£36million is a strange amount, what's that about? For it to happen twice is quite sinister. Also, what does everyone think Niggle is going to spend £72000000 on? Wrong answers only.

I'm enjoying the new Interpol very much, I hope it isn't one of those albums which has instant appeal but no longevity. Not going to win them any more fans though, it's too Interpol.

This week I went for a walk in the countryside near my house and also went to see Part Chimp in Birmingham. The two things couldn't be more different but I loved them both.

I saw EIGHT Magpies fussing over some roadkill this morning. I'm not even sure that's legal.

I knew all about the show, had spoken to friends who had seen it this year and loved it and I wanted to see it more than anything else this year and *still* it didn't disappoint. David Byrne at Cardiff Castle. ❤️

In the garden room listening to John Peel's Fabric compilation on my new dinky cd player. I've turned the Aircon off because it was a bit too cold, hahahaha.

Personal Trainer & Adult DVD seem to have self confirmed for Future Days fest in Brum this October, which is ace. I'm not doing a Google search for those two bands at the same time though.

I used to make playlists a lot on the streamers and I don't really anymore, but this one has recently returned to my consciousness and it's full of treats. Qobuz though, because I care.

Pretty amazed that Blue sky is still as lovely as it ever was and that the only aggressive stuff is quite a few people calling Tony Blair a cunt, which is of course correct.

Bearded Theory was pretty much perfect, GANS and Getdown Services rightly took the bow for their returns after last year's revelations. I thought it might be my 20th Pixies gig but I can only think of 17 so far. Westside Cowboy, The Sabres of Paradise, Lynks, The Wedding Present, The Nightingales a*

We bought the veggie mixed box last week. So awesome, I don't recommend anything but music on here really but if you are a fan of curries you can't go wrong giving this a go. We actually got 14 meals out of the 8 curries included across 3 days! £80 delivered to your doorstep frozen, 8 naans too.
Who's for Michelin-star home delivery curry? To celebrate two Michelin star chef, restaurateur and Great British Menu champion and judge, Aktar Islam (born #onthisday 8 Apr 1980). He runs 'Aktar at Home' from Birmingham alongside his revered restaurant 'Opheem'. Happy birthday! 🍜

By way of PWEI, The Prodigy and Lo Fidelity Allstars I ended up listening to Audio Bullys over the weekend and now the Ego War album is on repeat. I do own the cd but haven't actively listened to it for 15 years. It's brilliant, even if it's just nostalgia.
