The best of 2024 playlist is now up to 40 songs. Added since last time: @CuspTunes, @frantowndeli, @vanhoutenuk, American Culture, @goodlooksband, @WildPinkNYC and @Restorations.

Found this lovely treasure trove of a YouTube channel. If you're interested in 90s/00s indie/folk, you'll love the majority of the stuff included here.

Two more days left of eating tea on the riverfront, watching the turtles dance in its currents, reading the odd book or two along the way.

Downloaded a bunch of my favourite releases this year for holiday listening:

@LeachJuice Yeah, I can hear it. Though my first thought was The Mescaleros, for some reason.

That Mokaev-Kape fight might have been worse than the Joyce-Chisora fight earlier.

I really enjoyed the genre-bending of Crack Cloud's last album Tough Baby, but the more focused, introspective and cinematic Red Mile might be even better.

RT @WBA: Here's your chance to get your hands on our new away shirt, signed by the first-team squad! 💛💙 Simply follow and share this post…

Sad bastard klaxon 🚨 One of my absolute fave things about having an extended break from work is getting to actually spend time with albums rather than listening in the background while doing something else. Hence why I've just got around to this doozy:

Nisa has under 1500 monthly listeners but has produced an album that deserves 10x that:

Los Campesinos! have returned with their most mature and potentially best album yet. You may know them from the Budweiser adverts or remember Gareth wearing a colourful cardigan in a circa-2007 copy of NME. Nowadays, they're one of the UK's finest bands guided by their values.

Cucurella was phenomenal tonight. Bullied Saka out of the game and provided beautiful run and ball for the goal. Fair play Spain #EURO2024

Three days in Wales last week, Weston today, Drayton Manor tomorrow, Worcester Thursday -- think I'm done.

This Turkish side have been a breath of fresh air in a tournament where most teams are still playing with the handbrake on. Unlucky. #EURO2024

Bar Saka and a few Mainoo bursts, far too pedestrian again. Yet again, Kane is a passenger and Trippier still doesn't work as a wing-back #EURO2024

Southgate treating our tournament hopes as if we're in a chess match and can stop the clock whenever we move. #EURO2024

Don't think England could be any worse if Raymond Domenech took over and pissed off all the star players #EURO2024

Cole Palmer's directness has added something to another fairly dire performance. What has Ollie Watkins got to do to get 20 minutes? Can only see him helping to stretch defences, improve the press and quicken up our attacking play. #Euro2024

True crime podcasts are ten a penny but Happily Never After is worth your time. 'Do you think she's living in her book?'

The outstanding release of this week has to be WeirdOs by O. A phenomenal meshing of sax and drums that defies genre. Is it jazz? Is it hard rock? Is it a collection of beats? At the very least, it's all three -- and probably more:
