I enjoyed this, and it was really well shot and paced. Itβs been designed to really invoke 2006 (Γ la Saltburn) with its aspect ratio and moments with dial up internet sounds baked into the score.Β
The actual story was maybe a little flat and I doubt β¦
Keep Riding On (Big Times) by Hooton Tennis Club
Didnβt have Hooton Tennis Club coming back on my 2026 bingo card but I will absolutely take it! Looks like new album next year and perhaps an opportunity to finally see them live.

Canβt quite explain how good Angine De Poitrine were in London this week. What a show! πΆπΊπΊ
Full cornetto trilogy this week. Great to see this again after so long. Once again, every line is funny and itβs full of those glorious quick cut close ups. Marvellous
These Wooden Ideas by Idlewild
Been watching old Top of the Pops episodes on Friday nights. They're up to the year 2000 and it's very strange to start seeing music you quite frequently listen to. Anyway, this is a good tune and it was strange to see β¦
Blank Curtain (Instrumental Demo) by Cola
Iβd like this to play in the background in my head all the time. Could listen to it for hours on end

Far funnier than I remembered. Swapping Nick and Simonβs typical roles in the rest of the trilogy is a really fun move.Β
I remember when first watching that I was disappointed by the missing βshortcutsβ scene but now realise theyβre littered β¦
Wanna be a big cop in a small town? Fuck off up the model village!
Every line is a zinger
Mata Zyklek by Angine de Poitrine
Saw these nutters live this week in what was one of the most impressive live shows Iβve ever seen. Believe the hype!

The extended cut with the skin melting was mega. Why does everyoneβs house have open coffins?!
Trippy and weird. Great scenes shot immaculately. Shearsmith was great. Itβs a little confusing but a good watch
Kutcher by Sports Team
I remember the first time I heard this, and just laughed constantly. I love when bands are able to pull of making funny songs.

Bad Weekend by Art Brut
Saw Art Brut mentioned and had to get this album back on. What an exercise in scrappy, fun music-making.

Painless by Ben Quad
Bit of jangly emo. Pink room tomorrow!

Some diabolical writing throughout, really underperformed lead from Dakota and a plot that was obvious from the outset. I laughed a lot more than I think I was supposed to!
This film is The Housemaid with different jobs.
Nothing Happens Twice by Gurriers
Great new album. Irish musicβs on fire at the moment!

Triple Seven by Wishy
New Wishy album out today that Iβm going to blast out at some point in the next week. Until then Iβm listening to the debut which was ace. Big gig in the Yes basement.

Quarry by Wednesday
Iβm sure the Waterloo Sunset melody here is no mistake. Love a bit of Wednesday.

Theme for Great Cities by Simple Minds
Heard this on the radio yesterday having never heard it before. Excellent stuff

CPR by Wet Leg
Been away for a few days and had this in my head the whole time. I don't know how they do it, but every Wet Leg song is a complete earworm

Powerlines by beabadoobee & Brendan Yates
Moody one. New beabadoobee album is a good listen

Grounded in the real world for about 3 minutes and then goes bonkers. Some of the best child actors Iβve seen in ages and Iβm gonna need to get me a farming simulator rig
Well itβs limey as hell!
