Mainly music. And books. And City. And some running.

Hey, what’s your favorite album cover? Doesn’t have to be your favorite album, just a cover you never get tired of looking at.

Midnight Oil - Red Sails in the Sunset

Because I'm oooold and for me everything that came out late 90's or later feels new.

I've still discovered loads of fantastic music since 00's, but it's like my mind and taste was set by 1998.

Multi cultural Friday. A Swede in the Netherlands, cooking Risotto, sipping a Speyside malt, and listening to Fela Kuti :-)

One of my favourite albums from the Brit pop era. Vastly under appreciated.

Agree with the Haaland chance. Kerkez did really well.

The things she comes up with would make Baghdad Bob blush.

From good to bad, or from bad to good? I haven't listened to anything after OK Computer πŸ˜‚. Pablo Honey wasn't super strong, but not really meh into.

23.01.2026 17:38 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

Bands who started out awesome, but changed style and became meh!:

Chicago
Scritti Politti
Simple Minds
RHCP

Struggling to come up with other way around, but possibly:

Talk Talk
Ben Howard

Alone in the kitchen, doing some elaborate cooking, sipping a Belgian ale, and playing early Chicago on full blast. TGIF!

"Pertain", "consummate" ... The only thing Trump was "Thank you for your attention to this matter", which he probably has as auto text.

Had to get rid of Nico O'Reilly due to Semenyo coming in (= 4 City players), but think he'll be rested anyway – he looks knackered.

I keep going for players in form with easy fixtures coming up, hence my team looking a bit odd. FPL is a bit too easy now that you can save up to five transfers.

dEus πŸ₯°.

Never even heard of them until I met my (Dutch) wife in 2001, but she had all their CD's, and I fell for them instantaneously.

Q: Is Foden low on confidence? He does drop deep to collect the ball from the defenders, but hardly ever turns to advance the play, he just passes it back to the defenders. Compare it to Rico, whose first instinct is always to turn on the dime and look for a forward pass.

Some sloppy and/or too risky passes at times, but otherwise top notch. Really looks like a class player.

Released almost 44 years ago and, unfortunately, more accurate than ever.

The rich get richer, the poor get the picture, the bombs never hit you when you're down so low.

Probably my favourite live track from the Oils after Lucky Country.

Cool! Never knew that this was made into a pop song with lyrics. The original version with Cannonball Adderley is one of my favourite jazz tunes.

From "Drill, baby, drill" to "Steal, baby, steal".

I'm four episodes in and still very undecided. It's a bit one dimensional right now (naturally).

Following the end of the game via the Prem app in the Paris metro with sketchy reception. Hardly dare to refresh the page when we pull into s new station

Same as last season. As soon as we have something goe against us, we lose our heads and panic. I thought the Villa game was a blip and that we were over it, but it's back with a vengeance.
