Only three episodes in to Yellowjackets so enjoying all the praise the rest of the series has gotten. I am easily creeped out, admittedly, but already finding that just thinking about the show too long puts a shiver up me 😅

+1 for Lana

A few thoughts: - Really chuffed to see Love get some love. Think it is oft overlooked but a significant favourite of mine. - Inclusion of Lust for Life reminded me of the demo version. If anyone hasn't heard it, you should: - Can't argue with no.1 either. Difficult to explain just how transportive that track is for me. Will never ever tire of hearing it, and as soon as I hear those bells, it can't be skipped.

I've only known two Americans who were familiar with/had heard of Glastonbury, one because she lived here in the UK for a year, and the other because he is quite "into music" and had come across references to it online. The latter is the boyfriend of my best friend in the States. They're planning on visiting here in the summer, and I had to gently let her down when she threw into conversation that "Ty suggested we pick up some Glastonbury tickets if we're over at the right time!" "Oh, sweet summer child... one does not simply 'pick up' tickets to Glastonbury..."

On the Bruce topic, I noticed Nils' tweet a few weeks ago and got the vibe that a tour was looking to be off the cards:

First two visits I was in south west corner - south-west corner of Paines and then in one of the South Parks. Thought these were fine, until in 2017 we were in Michael's Mead as a friend had access to the facilities in Spring ground. Had a great overlook of the site, was quiet and close to JP and super accessible for the Pyramid. I'm sold and will be heading in that direction next time (although there is the chance we may actually camp in Spring Ground this time, which is also fine by me).

That's a stunning achievement! Well done you! I've been so crap at reading this year, and I've really appreciated just how much I enjoyed all the reading I managed in 2020, so I'm quietly making the goal for myself to read another 52 in '22 🤫 Also, think I saw 'Good girl's guide to murder' on your Goodreads and I thoroughly enjoyed that this week! Good to know that if I'm on a slow down at any point in the year I can just turn to the sequels 👍

On top of a wonderful Christmas weekend spent with numerous family members, my boyfriend proposed to me on Friday. I said yes. It's very exciting and overwhelming!

The good news is that I will shortly be getting in my car and driving home to my family for Christmas 🎄 partner and I have lft'd everyday for the last week, and just done two different ones half an hour ago that have all come up negative - which is as confident as I can feel. Have been reminsicing, naturally, about how similar and how different last year was. I'm really glad the board is back now so that I can say thanks again to everyone on here who was so supportive and friendly when I was really going through it last year, unable to see my family. I hope everyone is able to enjoy the festive days however they feel comfortable to do so ❤

Finally got around to watching Maid in the last few days. Man, I have not openly sobbed at a tv show like that in a LONG time! I know its been going around on word of mouth for a while, but do check it out if you haven't given it a go already!

It's a Christmas miracle! 🎄 (Also, the not miraculous and very real hard work of @eFestivals - well done, Neil 🙂)

I thought he was on Norton with Obama, re. their book that has just come out. Of course I desperately want there to be a tour announcement because I need to know how much money I need to put aside/for how many dates of it - but don't want to get my hopes up prematurely!

I'm trying to keep my expectations low that I'll ever see her live. Unfortunately she just did an instagram live chat a few hours ago and said she wasn't touring. Obviously doesn't rule it out for the future entirely, but 😔

Literally how my best friend ended up having sex with Miles Kane. Related: how do i get past listening to Dealer without having to remember, every time, that my best friend had sex with Miles Kane?

For me, NFR! is still the pinnacle, but I already far prefer BB to Chemtrails. I'm so glad that Nectar of the Gods and Cherry Blossom are unchanged. Really never thought they'd appear on an album and here they both are!

Thunder may be different to the demo, but I still think it may yet appear towards the top of my Spotify Wrapped this year - with just the one week remaining in which that data gets collected. It's just gorgeous.

I love it. I just love it.

Yeah, I heard the original leak going around was low quality. I'm sure there's a better one out there now since the CDs went on sale, but I'm happy enough just to wait.

Must stop reading about the leak... must stop reading about the leak... must stop reading about the leak... must stop... But goddamn I wish I wasn't going to be so busy next Friday 😫 gonna be freaking listening to it for the first time on my commute.

Amazing pictures, @Zoo Music Girl! So glad you enjoyed it, you deserved it.

Brassic is back today 🙌 Honestly can't think of a show that makes me laugh so much in recent years. Joe Gilgun is a treasure. Just watched the first ep and it's brilliant as ever - probably going to get through the rest before the week is over.

Amazing! I didn't know Mitski was back! Will definitely be getting tickets for one of those shows.

The Divine Comedy. Self Esteem. Frank Turner. NewDad. Beabadoobee. Robyn. The War on Drugs. And LDR, of course. I'll never stop hoping.

The Cure released their first album in 1979, but it was their 8th - 10 years later - that is considered their magnum opus. (Although my personal favourite is their 3rd)

I'm really glad that the funeral went okay, although of course it will have been very sad. I hope that you're able to take plenty of time to process and go forth at your own pace over the coming weeks and months. And of course I don't need to tell you how valuable this place is to just talk about it all when it feels hard, and when it feels okay too. x
