Time for the 2010's! A really interesting decade with some wildly diverse picks. Might go back and do the 80's next, that might be interesting.

It's been the craziest couple of weeks. Emotionally all over the shop right now. I really do feel like the worst of this is over now though, looking forward to what happens next. ❤️

Ah that's so cool!

Ditto! Where are we going? X

Saw the last ever Mew show this evening at the Roundhouse. I'm gutted that their accessible brand of prog pop never found the audience it deserved, but they sure were a great live act. Will be missed.

Beautiful pictures! ❤️

The radiant Ezra Furman performing at the O2 Forum Kentish Town last night

I had the best time last night. Ezra was on top form and the band sounded fantastic. It felt so good to be part of a diverse and supportive crowd. Can't wait to do it all again. ❤️

Out out! ☺️

Off to London today to see Ezra Furman at the O2 Forum. Super excited to have an authentic night out as myself, I think it'll be a really affirming experience.

Today marks my six month anniversary of starting HRT. It's been a difficult road, but with each day that passes I'm more satisfied with the person that I'm becoming. Just looking in the mirror brings me joy that I've never experienced. I couldn't be prouder of myself for taking that first step. 🩷

I'm in London this week for a couple of gigs, seeing Ezra Furman (my latest obsession) on Wednesday and then the last ever Mew show on Thursday.

Ah nice! I have listened to Imaginal Disk, I enjoyed it but wasn't blown away. I should probably give it another spin at some point.

This was good! Strong Beach House vibes. Nice chilled out way to spend a morning. ☺️

I'll give anything a go!

Been a slow start to 2026 for music. I only listened to two new albums in January. Does anyone have any recommendations or has it just been a bad month?

Playing the Birmingham Rapidplay chess tournament today with the boy. Full of cold and trying to keep a clear head.

Urgh that's rough. The whole point of vinyl is to keep it pristine, why would they do this? Need to find yourself a nice independent record store and buy it in person.

I really hope Fable looks like a winner. It's the only game I'm seriously looking forward to right now.

Ok, let's do the 00's as well. My tastes got more eclectic here, and this is also the decade my favourite album of all time was released. So many classic records, could have included a lot more on this list.

You were decent last night to be fair.

Still grumpy? 😂

Pitchfork being paywalled is peak Pitchfork.

Did that really happen or was it a dream?

I did it! Today was my first day out as myself. I walked around the city. I shopped at a market. I went to a cafe and had lunch with my friends. And at no point did I feel like I didn't belong. This feels like such a turning point. I'm so happy. ☺️

Good luck, Elenna. 🩷

AI and the arts shouldn't mix full stop. There are plenty of legitimate and purposeful uses for AI, but anything like that needs to be an exclusively human pursuit. It's not an accident that there's a music genre called 'Soul'.

Haha, you sound grumpy. Another point clear! We needed it today after West Ham won.

Never a penalty!

You can't have it both ways, Co-op. Make a stand, stop selling this awful excuse for a newspaper in your stores. #transrightsarehumanrights

How weird, I just posted my top 90's albums (which obviously features this). Roads is one of my favourite songs of all time.
