This popped up on my Spotify Discovery playlist this week and I have been chair-dancing non-stop ever since, which is most unbecoming in a man of my advanced years.

Is two hundred times a day a lot to listen to a song? Asking for a friend. (Me.)

Ride were one of my most beloved bands in my long-vanished youth. They’re performing again, which has set my lower lip a-tremble. Here’s a killer version of Seagull.

Well, this is … It’s … There’s … I dunno, just watch it.

My new Favourite Thing Ever.

My current ear-worm. Stupidly good.

Oh, I love this so very, very much – the unfairly talented Ben Folds’ gloriously straight-faced take on Dr Dre’s Bitches Ain’t Shit. 

A really stunning song from new Irish talent. (New to me, at least, although admittedly my finger is nowhere near the pulse.)

Nothing says ‘Christmas’ like flying your own private jet in a t-shirt.

I’ve become dangerously obsessed with Alt-J’s Mercury Prize-winning album, An Awesome Wave. Every track makes everything else I’m listening to sound like an old man farting into a tin bucket.
