WINTER PARALYMPICS 2026 OPENING CEREMONY ON CHANNEL 4 FROM 1830

A lot of the others are a bit “here a bunch of tracks, some of them are weird, deal with it” as opposed to what we’d think of as a cohesive record these days, you know? This one has the absolute juice.

It’s fucking great, isn’t it? I’ve listened a few times over the years, but in the context of this current “listen to all his albums in reverse order, then again from beginning to end” it really stands out as a big solid record.

133. David Bowie - The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars

Not exactly a hot take, but this kicks arse. Not really a surprise that a massive Queen fan would love this, is it?

@petefrasermusic.bsky.social just in case you’ve not been @‘d into this a dozen times already.

Posh cunt having a loud conversation on his phone in the quiet carriage before we’ve even left? Not so thrilling.

Of to London to see @stuartlawscomedy.bsky.social As Michael Caine Saying “Never” For An Hour.

Very excited.

A screenshot of a sponsored Instagram post which has the tiniest “AD” text in the bottom right hand corner.

Instagram ads used to have the word “sponsored” displayed quite clearly, now they have a tiny “Ad” in the bottom right hand side.

I hate this stuff so much.

The “stonks” meme (a weird mannequin head on a business suit stood in front of a wall of stock market data, with a big arrow angled up to denote increase in value) , but the word is “HONKS”.

Omfg

I'm also at the expensive part of making a new Oxygen Thief album, so sales of either project will basically be going into making that.

Big riffs, big hooks, big puns:

Happy Bandcamp Friday!

I released an album last year that I think is really good, you'd definitely love it. FFO Roddy Woomble/Idlewild, Richard Dawson, Tim Kasher/The Good Life.

Downloads are paywhatyouwant today only:

Secondary Education Secondary Education, is a solo project about nervous breakdowns, toxic relationships and trying to figure out what the fuck is actually going on. Likened to The Pixies, Weezer and Modest Mouse, Secondary Educations’s songs are for people who want to fight the worsening status quo with compassion (and sarcasm)..

Hey hey it's #BandcampFriday again, would you buy my songs to help me pay to record new ones and hire a drummer for the live band?

EATU, by Emilia and the Unknown 5 track album

132. Emilia and the Unknown - EATU EP

First EP from tour buddy, fellow Bristol-er and all round good egg. This sounds great:

The Places You Called Home, by Safehand 10 track album

131. Safehand - The Places You Called Home

Excellent Brit-gruff(ish) emo punk from some old pals. Check out the song Blood & Bone:

I'm really excited about the next one, it's going to be something quite different...while still obviously within the realms of what "Oxygen Thief" is as a project.

Vague hypespeak I know, but still: VERY.

My phone (14 Pro) keeps yelling at me to do this.

Should I do this?

130. The Birthday Suit - The Eleventh Hour

Guitarist from Idlewild's side project from a while ago. Rocking stuff.

129. Thrice - Horizons/East

I can listen to all their albums before next Friday, right?

128. Thrice - Horizons/West

Really looking forward to seeing them next week.

I'm sure there will be something to complain about at some point in the journey, of course.

Just realised I didn't have seat reservations for my next couple of trips so sent them a message and boom; now I do.

Moaning about trains is fun, and often necessary, but credit where it's due: the people who run the @gwr.com Whatsapp are always really helpful.

127. Lysistrata - Veil

They're supporting Thrice next week so giving them a whirl. Sounds a bit like what if @rileybreck.bsky.social & co listened to a load more Placebo. Nice.

126. David Bowie - Pinups

I don’t know any of the original versions he’s covering, so it kinda sounds like he’s gone mad.

Uh oh - we misread the calendar, sent the baby off to nursery dressed up for World Bork Day and now their wifi is fucked.
