As its the 1st of December I've had an annual watch of my 3 favourite Christmas films.
1. Elf - Hello. Buddy the Elf, What's your favourite colour?
2. National Lampoons Christmas Vacation - Shitters full.
3. Trading Places - ... I was poor and no one liked me.
Krampus later, a gem everyone forgets

Sunday morning spins.
So, I have access to Spotify and Qobuz, but this album doesn't appear on a either. What a shame. A delightful gem of an album.

I'd recommend House Of Guinness too. Written by the same people. It's a lot more lighthearted, and a good fun watch.

Beautiful album.

For the last six weeks I've been watching the whole of Peaky Blinders. I never watched this when it first aired and I'm slightly annoyed with myself. What a brilliant show. The whole Shelby family were deeply unlikeable and horrendous people. But, I liked them. Excellent show.

Is only yet another holiday. See you soon...

After weeks of trying, I finally got the Lego minifig Werewolf Spiderman.

Ooo... interesting

Max Richter - Hamnet OST
I read the book recently, and it's an absolute masterpiece of literature. It made the 'favourites' shelf. The film is out early next year and I know know it'll destroy me. And Max, my boy Max has done the score. Win, win all round.

Today's random Discogs choice The Ukulele Orchestra Of Great Britain and Precious Little CD 2007. Purchased after seeing them live locally a good few years ago. A cracking, and good fun night out, highly recommended. Favourite track Caroline (Status Quo cover).

Today's random Discogs choice Primal Scream and Higher Than The Sun promo 12" Andy Weatherall remix 1991. From my Our Price days when the label reps would bring in some class freebies. A very dubby remix and it has The Orb mix on the b-side. Can't go wrong.

Today's random Discogs choice Pink Floyd and Dark Side Of The Moon 2016 reissue. Little know album, don't think it was a big seller back in its day. I think it's a soundtrack or something to The Wizard Of Oz. Any hoo... favourite track Eclipse.

Today's random Discogs choice Burial and Street Halo 12" 2011. I don't often listen to Drum & Bass but when I do its always the mighty Burial. This is 45rpm one side and 33rpm the other and I always forget 🤣. Favourite track Street Halo.

Today's random Discogs choice Greg Foat and Symphonie Pacifique 2020. A very cool album, it relaxing you and clears the mind quire beautifully. The whole album floats along nicely so picking a favourite track was quite hard but Man vs. Machine was a beaut.

Today's random Discogs choice The Last Dinner Party and Prelude To Ecstasy Rough Trade AOTM Feb2024. I like this album its a solid debut. Some great sing-a-long tracks. I'm up shouting 'give me the strength' to my favourite track Portrait Of A Dead Girl.

I read the book the other week, truly beautiful. I can't wait to see the film and my boy Max has done the score. A win all round.

I'll be honest, I've never heard Brat. But that may change.

Not gonna lie, but the film has a lot to live up to if this is its soundtrack. An astonishing piece of music and I love it!

Oh no! Much like everything in today's climate, they've probably cut costs. I've never had an advent calendar by Lego or Playmobil, I didn't want a tea or coffee one this year. Just fancied something childlike and fun for a change.

Talking of good times. Have you got your advent calendar yet? I know you like a Lego one.

I feel like I'm actually living in an episode of The Thick Of It. I didn't realise that it would be the blue print for future politics. I'm pretty sure I could give Malcolm Tucker a good run in the swearing stakes due to the current political state.

Oh yeah. Those names too make me heave. My only hope is that one day, when the time is right, the fall from grace will be a massive long drop that we can all enjoy with a massive bag of popcorn.

He is the only person on earth that physically repulses me. Every morning when I go for my break at 5am, he's always the first item on the news. I'm sure one day my 'not that c**t again' is going to get me dragged up to HR soon.

I stole this off reddit.
This is the response the BBC should've said.

Today's random Discogs choice Mildlife and Remixed 2018. Three of their tracks from the magnificent Phase album given a groovy disco dancing beat. The Tornado Wallace Remix of The Magnificent Moon is fabulous.

Abso-fucking-lutely!

New release Friday

Today's random Discogs choice Adrianne Lenker and Abysskiss Rough Trade AOTM Oct2018. A very delicate, acoustic album. Wasn't really my cup-o-tea but I did really like the track Symbol.
