    Best of 2015/ Thoughts on 2015

    Seconded. Other stuff from 2015, as if anyone gives a fuck: With The Dead S/T album- A couple of weeks ago I was in a second hand record shop and saw a Cathedral LP selling for £65. I'd just buy the With The Dead album, tbh. Evol Purple Melters/ Flapper That EPs- Continuing the good works...

    Yep-Aru too ? That Astana still have a World Tour place is a disgrace. Vino has no place in cycling. Not a fan of the threatening motivational techniques (like Tinkoff) which encourage doping. Cycling Podcast have just released a big doping edition, which I have yet to listen to, but they...

    I can barely bare to watch Froome, he's so ungainly on a bike, but the implications if he is cheating within Sky are too mental to consider: All of British Cycling's successes, Hoy, Wiggins, Pendleton, Team Pursuit etc etc existing within an East German style institutionalised doping culture...

    record store day

    Some Independent record shops have been saying (based on an article I read via Twitter) that no-one buys records in the run up to RSD, so they lose their regular income stream for a month. They then feel compelled to gamble on potentially high selling RSD stock in order to make up the...

    When baby gets into a routine, with naps etc, you should get more time. Before it all disappears again when napping stops. Evenings on rollers/rides now light is improving when kids in bed, with carefully negotiated weekend rides tend to work, especially if you can pick a destination and meet...

    I'm loathe to get into the Bourgeois pontifications on the meaning of it all - fuck off - I keep out of it - But this: alongside the absolute and resolute refusal to apologise. I've had '8 hours at Gedling Council' going round my head all day.

    The Education Secretary, Michael Gove, has approved a plan to spend £45m on a free school, making it almost certainly the most expensive in the country even though it has just 500 students, The Independent has learnt. The cost of setting up the Harris Westminster Sixth Form for high-achieving...

    Sleaford Mods

    They were utterly brilliant last night. 1. Amazingly, given the high swear count in the songs themselves, extra off-mic swear words were added. 2. In addition to drinking about 3 cans of lager, Andrew Fearn also checked his texts and took a photo. 3. Audience sing-a-longs (Job Seeker- now an...

    what are you reading now?

    The tone changes quite a lot after the first one- he really hits his stride. The way in which fact is woven into the last 3 Ridings books in particular is incredible- like a dark occult secret history of W. Yorkshire. Drive through Bradford, Wakefield, Halifax etc etc on a dreary winter's...

    Nice venue The acoustics are amazing. It's essentially a classical music venue, so politeness is a given. Better than having people talk all the way through stuff. This is great.
