Today I discovered Concert Archives and now I’m going to lose myself to filling in my concert history so I don’t need to try and remember anymore. I can feel a headache coming already


    I’ve had the riff to this stuck in my head for some time now. Astonished to learn the band don’t really like this album, it’s one of my favourites.

    Adventures in Peru 🇵🇪

    Our big trip started with a couple of weeks in Peru. I really loved the time we spent there, it was non-stop action.

    We started in Barranco, a small neighbourhood on the outskirts of Lima where we got a taste for Ceviche and local beer. We even …

    Finished reading: The Long Walk by Stephen King 📚

    This was a great read. Having watched the film first, there’s some interesting differences. If you enjoyed the movie, you’ll love the book.

    Movie Log 🍿: Ocean's Twelve, 2004 - ★★★½

    Plane film #6: Lost my mind by this point. Loved the meta Julia Roberts thing and the Bruce cameo.

    ...
    Movie Log 🍿: The Assessment, 2024 - ★★★★

    Plane Watch #3: Nice dramatic Sci-Fi. Thought it was well acted all round and the premise is right up my street.

    Months/years of planning, more admin than you could imagine plus leaving our jobs has led us to this! We’re off on adventure ✈️

    Movie Log 🍿: Collateral, 2004 - ★★★★★

    Man this film was good. What did it not have?

    ...
    Movie Log 🍿: Get Hard, 2015 - ★★½

    Your classic Ferrell/McKay comedy. Not as good as the peaks of these movies but still drew some laughs

    ...
    Movie Log 🍿: The Long Walk, 2025 - ★★★★½

    Pure bleakness, outstanding depth. The bluntness to the violence was excellent. Great film

    ...
    Movie Log 🍿: The Running Man, 1987 - ★★★

    Truly a mental film. A nonstop hit parade of post-killing one liners.

    ...
    Movie Log 🍿: Caught Stealing, 2025 - ★★★★

    Darren made a funny one!

    ...
    Movie Log 🍿: The Roses, 2025 - ★★★★

    Hilarious! Completely unexpected, I barely stopped laughing throughout.

    Had a great time at my first Green Man festival last weekend. I’ll definitely be going back next year! Nice to not have to walk miles a day compared to bigger festivals and there was non-stop music I was into. 10/10 experience

    Movie Log 🍿: Weapons, 2025 - ★★★★

    Gripping and creepy in all the right measures.

    ...
    Movie Log 🍿: Materialists, 2025 - ★★★

    It’s no Past Lives but it’s still a very well made film.

    ...
    Movie Log 🍿: Yes Man, 2008 - ★★★

    A fun little movie that’s heavy on the twee but still heartwarming enough. Soundtrack is pretty good and I wish there were albums’ worth of Munchausen By Proxy music I could listen to

    ...
    Movie Log 🍿: Mission: Impossible III, 2006 - ★★★½

    This is a real return to form! Full of Abram-isms, it’s like watching Fringe but with more action. Excellent stuff.

    ...
    Movie Log 🍿: Mission: Impossible, 1996 - ★★★½

    I love that the vault would have all the most sophisticated sensors in the world but stops short of having a camera for the guard outside to watch. Overall it was very fun!

    ...
    Movie Log 🍿: 13 Going on 30, 2004 - ★★★½

    Honestly a really enjoyable 90 minute movie

    ...
    Movie Log 🍿: Friendship, 2024 - ★★★★★

    Pure absurdist hilarity. Any film that makes me cry with laughter gets five stars.

    ...
    Movie Log 🍿: Predator 2, 1990 - ★★★

    Quite a long way better than I anticipated. Budget must’ve been blown to bits on the spaceship

    Movie Log 🍿: Bring Her Back, 2025 - ★★★★★

    Well that’s one way to explore grief I suppose..

    I’ve just been reading the documentation on the Apple Music Embedded player whilst looking at a neat way to simplify the creation of ‘music’ posts on my blog and discovered they support an auto theme that honours the system colour …
