Playing the Horizon Forbidden West DLC, Burning Shores, and I happened upon a tribute to Lance Riddick.

Which is lovely.

With great deliberation, I’ve decided that next Monday’s edition of shall have the theme of…

Animals

Animals are great, and there’s loads of them that people have written songs about. So fling your suggestions my way and let’s see if we can’t put together the best animals-related radio show the world has ever seen.

Monday / 8-10pm BST / https://labr.online / @labr

It really was great deliberation. I have an entire universe worth of things and concepts from which to choose.

I’ve already started putting together an election-related playlist for the Monday before the UK GE, so fancied something somewhat more lighthearted.

And yeah, animals are great.

@TheBreadmonkey Fuck what the others think, knows no bounds.

Though if I might suggest; the @Skeewiff remix of Spanish Flea is an utter, utter banger.

@u0421793 Oh man, this is great.

@TheBreadmonkey Ooh, Rock Lobster is a fine shout.

You don’t need to limit yourself to one. Throw as many as you like then I’ll pick out the true gold.

@TheBreadmonkey The Cramps is an outstanding suggestion!

@Shivviness As far as I’m aware, I know precisely one of those (The Futureheads), so I’ll have a dig through and see what fits the vibe.

Thanks!

Finally got around to listening to the new Frank Turner album today. ‘Somewhere Inbetween’ has properly hooked me.

I will say though, as someone who knows nothing about songwriting, there’s something about it that makes me wonder whether I’m falling for some really basic songwriting tricks, that there’s something about the key or the way it builds up that resonates with my humanity or some shit.

It is lovely though.

Thinking about it, strip away the vocals and you’ve got something that sounds awfully like Mogwai. Epic post rock that makes your heart soar.

In other words, good shit.

After Spotify hijacked Heardle, I think I only played it for about a month, because they changed it to focus on newer music as a kind of discovery tool.

So it’s only now that I’ve just learned that not only did they hijack Heardle, but that they only bothered to operate it for 8 months before shutting it down.

Fucking hell, that’s some shitty behaviour.

There is absolutely no logical reason why me, a 50-something year old head, should love this rap song by a group of Irish preteens as much as I do.

@davidnjoku @TheBreadmonkey Fuck me, that’s a banger. Shoulda put a donk on it though.

This is sort of fascinating and mad. There's now a millennial Saint in what appears to be a shellsuit, they're calling 'God's Influencer'...

@TheBreadmonkey Dammit,you beat me to it. @JackTheCat

Just realised that I failed all listeners to by forgetting to include 54-46 was My number by Toots & The Maytals.

But it’s all good because it means I can play Monkey Man next week without fear of artist repetition.

On a bit of an Incubus tip this morning, which is nice.

All the screengrabs of lunatic AI answers I’m seeing on here this morning have actually made me partially convinced that at least some of them are bullshit.

@Tattooed_Mummy There is an argument that water isn’t wet. That water makes what it touches wet but is not, in itself, wet.

It’s a dumb argument, mind.

@Tattooed_Mummy Oh man, the whole vegetable thing twisted my melon when I worked it out.

Morning, scrubbers!

A few months back my pitched a fit and reset itself, losing my reading data for the year to that point. Not a huge issue, as for some reason I remembered that it was up to 65.2 hours.

Ever since then, I’ve had to add 65.2 to the current listed time in order to calculate my current reading time.

Anyway, I’m currently figuring out whether I can adjust the time displayed on the Kobo by editing the KoboReader.sqlite file.

So far my experiments have been unsuccessful, but I shall persevere.

If anyone out there knows anything about this sort of thing, feel free to offer me some pointers…

Incels are so weird, man. Just have a wank or go for a walk. Read a book, play some video games or hang out with some buddies. Rather than planning to elaborately blow up the Olympic torch to demonstrate how much you think it's unfair women don't want to touch you.

@TheBreadmonkey I’m only semi-joking.

The sooner these pricks work out that cleaving hard to their perceived sexuality is a ridiculous notion, the better the world will be.

If they can’t find women who want to fuck them, then they could all take turns sucking each other off and feel a lot more relaxed.

“With our fiscal rules we will give the economy a good fiscing”

@urlyman Related, I want all political speechwriters to open their Word docs and do the following:

cmd+f “deliver” “delivering”, cmd+a > delete

Or whatever the Windows equivalent of that is.
