Sometimes I translate. Sometimes I write. Often I'm half of Two Strangers. Sometimes I make stuff up on a stage.

Never thought I'd find this in the UK, but some things just work out.

Can't wait to dive into Kevin Murphy's odyssey of film in 2001. Very curious how it will look from a 2026 perspective.

Stephen Catling rounds off our guests this month! By gum, is this going to be a quiz as fresh as a spring breeze (as we move down to another enclosed basement to perform it).

I'm against rich people killing poor people and then telling other poor people to support them.

Having RJ back on will be a blast. Although I must remember to remove the "Obscure Video Games" category. That'd be too easy for them...

So, I'm having a little dental operation tomorrow... what better inspiration for this week!

Also inspired by the person who said the in-character result readings last week weren't coherent enough. This one's for you. ;)

YU-NO (PC-98) OST - 1-05 - Prologue・Movement (プロローグ・移動)

This is one of my favourite songs in all of gaming. And one of my favourite soundtracks overall, without a doubt. Ryu Takami and Ryu Umemoto were absolute geniuses.

The trick, in my opinion, is the use of dynamics and held notes. It's just so atmospheric.

Manchester friends, I implore you to see this show next week at HOME if you are able.

An incredible reminder of the horrors that humanity can create, and especially, what they can overlook. Beautifully written, endearingly relatable for our times without being ham-fisted.

Possibly 7th richest person in the UK but I think the point still stands
