ONE MORE TIME…
blink are “back” and I love it. It’s like being 15 and hearing Enema again. I’m catching a few nice throwbacks to everything in their career. A few BCR and +44 hints at least. (Yes, yes I am tagging this as Music Monday as I first put it on yesterday.)

Bohemian Rhapsody
Finally watched the Bohemian Rhapsody film via Virgin Media Store. That itself was fairly painless. I’ve seen a bunch of reactions to the movie, mainly positive on the content and some negative on the editing aspect. I didn’t have any problem with the editing but that’s just me. As for the story line, I really…

Music of 2018
As the years go on, my list of “albums of the year” has become worse. But this year I have noted some great music that I’ve kept going back to. There are probably more but I don’t focus on release date anymore (as the final entry will testify) MxPx came out with their self-titled: …

Spotify Wrapped
The end of every year, I get nostalgic with the “end of year” lists. Spotify are again doing their year “Wrapped up”. I got the email: This year, you listened to 3,636 different songs on Spotify. But which will be your #1? I mean, no surprises from me: Not gonna lie, I’m surprised Home Wrecker…
