New tune from Black Honey just dropped, think its my least favourite of the 3 so far on the new album but think it will work well as an album opener. Also a good time of year to drop it with a halloween themed video
-
Missed this one on Friday but new from Hot Chip and Jarvis Cocker, feels like an unlikely collaboration but I like it.

I don't know about the other venues, but in London the Blondie show is all seated
Birmingham is the same, I noticed cardiff Motorpoint has standing and these are the cheaper tickets (£59+£6fee). I’m a bit torn as I’d prefer standing and cheaper ticket, but Birmingham so much easier for me to get to midweek

Boyfriend and I have started rewatching Malcolm in the Middle.
I knew it was good when I was growing up watching it from ages 9-15 but it just holds up so well.
It's not just nostalgia enjoying it either, over half my life later. I always loved Bryan Cranston in it but am enjoying his majestic physical comedy all over again.
I used to love Malcolm in the middle I would have been around the same age when it was on. Whenever I hear funky town by Lipps Inc it reminds me of the episode with Bryan Cranston skating! Is it on a streaming platform? Could definitely binge it

I was never a big reader a couple of years ago but one of my favourite films is the shining so I decided to read the book, I’m now on my 19th Stephen King book and planning to work my way through his whole back catalogue. Some really good stuff and I enjoy watching films that have been based on books, which a large number of his have.
Regarding non fiction, Scar Tissue by Anthony Kiedis is great. Saw it recommended on here last year and it’s such a good read - and I’m not a RHCP fan

That would be me!
I've been working through the older version of the Top 100 since I've been WFH and made a spreadsheet scoring each album out of 100, jotting down my favourite song on each album, and adding any notes I have
Going to have a look and see what has changed
Love the idea! Are you doing it based on first listen or giving each one a few spins? How far have you got with the first list?
I was surprised with the amount the list has changed, I'd imagine that's down to a different pool of voters but still thought there would be a lot more crossover
-
There are quite a few of the older albums in the top 100 I've not listened to in their entirety before, working from home for the foreseeable future so a perfect opportunity to give them all a few spins each. Thinking of setting up a little ranking spreadsheet for it too, I think someone else on these forums did something similar with an older list
-
Not much on my radar today apart from a couple of new tracks from Black Honey and Sunflower Bean, so will go back over the last few weeks worth of releases but will definitely check out Sault. Sometimes nice to have a quieter week of releases!
-
New Royal Blood next Thursday by the looks of this, hopefully a single with announcement of an album. Would be happy with more of the same as their first 2 albums

Calm down please. We are all living through this and suffering to varying degrees.
I'm just saying if you're worry is catching Covid or not wanting to make things worse then why fly to another country? Why is that so controversial?
Totally get this. I love getting away and exploring other parts of the world but I can’t think of much worse ways of catching/spreading the virus by mixing with people from all over the world in an airport and then on a plane. Unless it’s important or a business trip then I’m of the view it should be avoided. I know of people who say they have ‘HAD’ to go abroad because of their mental health, and that then always makes it had to argue or disagree with them but the UK has some amazing places to visit if you need to get away.

Here you go, it's the most recent testing capacity carried out.
Thanks, that’s concerning that’s testing appears to have decreased across that period with an increase in cases. Could be some big moves over the next few weeks with schools and unis going back, just hope it’s watched closely and acted on swiftly
-
Although the rise in cases isn’t good, does anyone have the detailed data on whether this is likely to be increased testing? I know today’s data was shown but I’ve not got previous days to compare to. Also deaths remain low, this could be suggesting that there is just more testing leading to more reported cases, unless treatment has gotten a lot more effective

Used to live 3 doors away from Garry Roberts from the Boomtown Rats and played with his daughter a few times but I was only nursery age so don’t remember it, according to the parents Bob Geldof made a few visits to the town too
-
Not much in terms of new releases on my radar this week, missed this one from last week though from Crooked Colours. Only discovered them earlier this year when going through a period of listening to a lot of Aussie bands. Back catalogue is really worth checking out, got a bit of an Alt J sound to some of their tracks but a bit more upbeat and electronic dance vibe.
-
Really like this new one from Temples
-
Franc Moody 29th Feb at Yes in Manchester. Great gig on the day after album release, feels like a lifetime ago now! I remember reading a news article about Covid before the gig and thinking it was a huge over reaction and it would never really affect us...

Only just seen the news of the 2 main stage/ 6 headliners idea and the subsequent announcement and judging by what very limited reaction I've seen this could potentially be the worst reaction to a set of headliners I've seen since I started following the festival. Anybody else feel the same?
I'm sure it's all been covered a million times since the announcement but Post Malone? Again? Really? Easily the laziest booking since getting Fall Out Boy on a 2 year rotation. I saw Catfish being touted as headliners heavily from 2016-2018 but the force behind that has gradually dwindled so why book them to headline now? Makes no sense. Liam was always coming back sadly so no quarms with that even though everyone knows it's a boring booking. Stormzy is the same but was quite a respectable booking for 2020 despite not being a huge fan. Disclosure are great but shouldn't have that slot, really bizarre booking. Can't complain with QOTSA though they were due back around now which is a solid rotation time.
Generally though no improvement on what was supposed to be this years starting lineup. QOTSA and retaining fever 333 + Mabel are the only things making me semi happy from that announcement.
I’ve can’t ever remember a good reaction to a reading and Leeds line up announcement. A lot of people expect it to be perfectly tailored to their taste, which it never will be. I do always enjoy checking out twitter and efests as people hate it to start, and then seem to grow to quite like it as the festival gets closer.
I’ve never understood it really, just wait till all festival line ups are out and go to the one that’s best suited to you. I’ve been to Reading twice (2014 and 2017) and they were both when the line up suited me, in between ive gone elsewhere.
-
I think the whole 2 main stages thing is a way of getting people talking and getting headlines as it sounds better than 3 days of Co headliners. If they were on similar sized outdoor stages at the same times then maybe, but it’s essentially no different to usual. Post malone, disclosure and catfish heading the NME tent wouldn’t look out of place with LG, QOTSA and stormzy actual headliners. Just a clever (?!) way of looking like they’re doing something special for 2021
-
Listened to Disclosure twice through earlier and thought it was good background music but nothing really jumping out. Apart from a few singles they’re really not had anything on the same level as Settle. Gave Pvris a spin and quite enjoyed it, will definitely revisit over the weekend. Will definitely look to get tickets if they tour next year

On a different note, I'm getting pretty annoyed by seeing and hearing news stories along the lines of "We cancelled our Spain/France holiday because of th quarantine and went to Croatia instead and now we're sad". It literally couldn't have been clearer that this is a risk at this stage.
I don't really like how they are implementing the quarantine rules at a time in the future, giving people a chance to rush back potentially bringing back the virus. If the country is deemed high enough risk now, then impose the restrictions now instead of in a couple of days. I know people have different reasons for travelling at the moment but they are aware of the risks before going so it should be at their own risk.

I've always had a slight obsession with covers. I love them. One of my favourite conversations to start at workplaces has always been best and worst covers.
I adore when they get them right and really own them and Lianne La Havas has really done well with Weird Fishes and I am a huge Radiohead fan.
Love a cover too. Recently discovered the triple j like a version playlist on Spotify which is like an Aussie version of the UK live lounge. Some really good stuff on there

After a week of plays, I agree that DMAs not breaking the mould but still a decent release last week, for me Lime Cordiale with the strongest release of the week and challenging my AOTY list.
Looking forward to Jarv Is today
