    I’m going to do another album review of a rock album that I had a loop as a youngster. Probably get bored and start talking about other stuff in the middle. I keep telling TangrerineDream, the whole point of this is just to write random stuff. This might turn into a series, who knows? some…

    Ok, so first let’s watch an awesome browser music video thing which replicates early internet. Very clever, lots of pop ups appear as part of the video and it brings back a load of tropes from the old days. You need to disable your adblock to allow the pop ups. So go watch it. Then…

    Haven’t done a LISTEN for a while. Iglooghost is a musician from south England who makes nice strange trippy music.

    So we land in this country, this place, this world. Everything is finished, cynicism is over, cynicism is not cool. Abroad has failed. The west has really failed. They are a joke, a clown country, a failed state Our Neighbours have some hope, but we know deep down, they are us. They will fail. They…
