Wait until next year

Putting off what could be done tomorrow, today

One of those annoying holding message posts

I’m aware that I promised myself that I would post at least once a week this year. I’m also aware that I haven’t managed that this week, not even a YouTube embed or a link to somewhere better than here. Apologies folks, but this placeholder is all I can manage this week – a very, very hectic week on which I’m sure I’ll blog about at some point. But right now I’m shattered, idea-less, and computer-less, tapping out this rubbish on my phone. Bear with me!

Sunday Reading

Woman eading by gaslight

More stuff I’ve been reading/plan to read. And yet another filler post from me. Enjoy.

Weekend

Happy Valentine’s Day folks

Man carrying huge heart across the road

I’m rather wary of Valentine’s Day, what with it being essentially a widespread capitalist scam designed to guilt us into buying terrible gifts, eating miserable overpriced meals in bad restaurants and generally seeing 14th February as the one day to be romantic (through commerce) rather than being romantic all year (through deed). However, I do love each and every one of my readers dearly, so I thought I’d share this great mix from Hudson Mohawke. I’m not entirely sure what slowjams are, but I like ’em.

Wakin On A Pretty Day

A lovely new song from Kurt Vile, the near-title track from his forthcoming album Waking On A Pretty Daze. The video shows the making of the album cover and is rather lovely too. It is a long song, but it doesn’t outstay its welcome. I could listen to it all day, and pretty much have been.
