a decade of writing sensitive introspective songs to have my first real single be about effectively not a lot is truly on brand

lourdes, 2023

i have so much time for this

listening to new albums by bands i loved from my youth means reminding myself i’m really old. what do you mean it’s 9 years since ‘so long, see you tomorrow’ came out

twenty years since ‘give up’ and ‘transatlanticism’ - what sort of 2002 did ben gibbard suffer exactly that resulted in the lyrical content of those two albums a year later???

‘resonance’ by home feels like a sonic incorporation of every warm feeling you could have in life

little old me in la in my snoopy socks (and clairo shirt)

shout out kico from casey’s

i’m not sure who i’d be if this record wasn’t released but i’d probably be less insufferable

today’s playlists have comprised of my four personality traits

“i’m everywhere but here”, a toilet in a gig venue in peckham. september

sometimes life’s stressful and you just gotta put on your favourite records

always worth keeping in touch with your university lecturers. you know, just in case they end up opening for vampire weekend

vampire weekend, charli xcx and hot mulligan tickets all in the next week or so. being poor is temporary, having range is forever

i don’t think i ever listened to this once by choice. but i did go to a performing arts university, go figure

miss you california

and you seattle

yesterday convinced me All My Friends is the best song of all time. impossibly perfect. it’s quite long and relatively simple yet maintains such high energy and never becomes boring while also being great lyrically. how did they do that. what was in the water that day

Everyone knows Labour are going to win the election, but if you’re feeling like there’s no point in voting as the outcome is a foregone conclusion, I’d like to draw your attention to something really radical that is on offer tomorrow: 1/8

all my friends, such great heights, lisztomania, a lack of color thank you august
