Here, the bass guitar in Cary by Loupe is brill. Not ostentatious and prominent in the mix, but focus on it. It’s superb.

I don’t have to turn on up for jury service on Monday.
Yay!
Dosed until 04:30. Been up since then.
I will do sod all today apart from listen to new music. https://mastodon.social/@ianRobinson/115432602293154575
Woke at 02:25 with uncontrollable shivering. Plus aches and pains everywhere.
Turned on the heating and gobbled pain killers.
A reaction to the various chemicals I drank and had pumped into me before and during the CT Scan.
I fervently hope I never have to get another CT Scan.

I didn’t say why in the cancellation survey.

Panels 1 and 2 Interior. "I love autumn!" Says a book to its owner. "It's so romantic! Let's put on a big scarf, go to the park, and read on a bench as the orange leaves fall around us in the low sun." Panel 3 Caption: Soon. Image: they are now outside sheltering under an unbrella in torrential rain. "Shall we go home?" says the reader. "Yes please. I'm getting soggy." says the book.
...and another.

Title: The leaves Image 1: Two leaves hang from branches. "Would you like to hear my new poem?" Says one "Is it another one about the inevitability of death?" replies a smaller leaf. Image 2: "It's autumn! What else am i going to write about?" says the poet leaf. "Well, we've all turned this lovely reddish colour." says the small leaf. Image 3: "Actually, that could make a very nice poem. Thanks!" says the poet. Image 4. The small leaf begins to reply but is blown away by a gust of wind. Image 5: Later. The solitary poet leaf recites a poem: "The year dies. I cling hopelessly. In the end all things fall."

The UK media last week spent so much time banging on about a football match. Will they give the same amount of coverage to this ? I very much doubt it

The new album from Fionn that came out this week showcases another band that should be better known.

Agreed. The archived episodes of his Out To Lunch podcast are worth listening too. My favourite “chat show”.
