Gumnuts
We’re finally starting to get a bit of rain so looking forward to park walks getting a bit greener with a bit more colour popping up here and there. My favourite of these is the one with the gumnuts that … Continue reading
This Will Destroy You
I stumbled on a listing for This Will Destroy You a couple of weeks ago. Hadn’t heard of them in the twenty years they’ve been around but they seemed right up my alley. Post rock? Atmospheric guitar soundscapes? Sign me … Continue reading
Sunday Morning
Breakfast in the park. The Philly cheesesteak had me worried a bit when I opened the box, but it had enough structural integrity to be okay for pick-up-and-bite eating. Each bite left me with cheese sauce covering half my face, … Continue reading
A Typical Severance Episode
One thing I love about Severance is that there’s no such thing, especially in this second season, as a “typical” Severance episode. Love and also kinda hate. Because after last week’s emotional rollercoaster revelations about Gemma Scout aka Ms Casey, … Continue reading
Range Life: A Pavement Story
Fun times ahead. This, by the way, is not a trailer or teaser for the upcoming movie Pavements. It’s for Range Life, the fake biopic within that movie. Confused? Yeah, that’s probably the idea.
The Hard Quartet: Lies (Something You Can Do)
Oh, this is unexpected – new music from The Hard Quartet with Emmet Walsh on vocals.
Catch Your Breath
I loved Anora and I’m stoked to see it and its creators win recognition at the Oscars and I wish that a wider variety of indie films could’ve gone home with or even just be nominated for one. I’m sure … Continue reading
The Hardest Working Font in Manhattan
Marcin Wichary’s deep dive into the engraving font Gorton is one of the most beautiful things I’ve seen on the internet in ages. Even if you’re not a font person — I certainly am not — you’ll find this fascinating … Continue reading
The Oscar Cup
So the awards season has finally come to a close. We can get back to thinking about movies as art and entertainment and not talking them and all the people involved in making them like racehorses or sports teams.
Turns Out Olive Oil Is Good After All
For years I have been guilty of thinking that olive oil had few benefits over canola oil and the added downside of having a low smoke point. As this guide to olive oil written by Robin Sloan makes clear I … Continue reading
Looking Out
It’s amazing to think that Trump has been in power for just over a month. So much damage in so little time. I’d love to see more reporting on the actual on-the-ground human effects of Trump and Musk’s actions rather … Continue reading
Sonos Dropouts Solved
Mid last year I bought a cheap Sonos speaker from Ikea and it was a huge upgrade to my home life. For the last decade or so I’d almost always listened to music only through headphones. Occasionally I’d airplay a … Continue reading
A Complete Unknown
Yesterday I went to see the new Dylan biopic, A Complete Unknown. I gave it five stars on Letterboxd and said: Every star is for Chalamet. Off-the-charts incredible performance – especially when he’s singing, which is almost the entire movie … Continue reading
