Song you listened to most recently: I Don't Know Why I Like You But I Do by The Wombats, phone just moved onto Butchered Tongue by Hozier
Single most underrated band you listen to: Stornoway (obviously, as if my relentless posting about them wasn't the clue you needed)
Song that you listen to if you need a pick me up: Magnificent (She Says) by Elbow
Favourite and/or most listened to podcast: Elis James and John Robins (again that's an obvious one whoops) although I binged all of Midnight Burger lately and it's so good
Song lyric you'd rewind a song for (specifically because of the words): "Home's only a feeling you get in your mind, from the people you live and you travel beside" from Fuel Up by Stornoway or "my liver may be fucked but my heart is honest" from Things That Stop You Dreaming by Passenger, "how the mouth must be emplyed in every corner of itself" from Butchered tongue by Hozier
Song lyric you'd rewind a song for (specifically because of how it's sung): I have an entire doc compiling lyrics like this but the bit in Orange Juice by Noah Kahan where he sings "and filled you with anger", the bit in I Will Follow You Into The Dark by Death Cab For Cutie where they sing "catholic school, as vicious as roman rule" and for Hozier songs, "Hold me like water or christ hold me like a knife" from Who We Are and "the first time that you kissed me I drank dry the river Lethe" from First Time.
Favourite album: Beachcomber's Windowsill by Stornoway has been my favourite for 15 years so I'd probably have to pick that, but Hozier, The Wombats, Maisie Peters and Death Cab For Cutie are all very very close behind.
Favourite album released in the last year: I'm cheating and picking one for 2025 and one for the last full year, so Oh! The Ocean by the Wombats for this year, Unreal Unearth: Unending for last year.
Food you're craving right now: I am craving literally no food and this is a PROBLEM, I'd eat a sorbet if I had some nearby though
Favourite type of weather: Warm in the sun but cool in the shade, enough breeze that you aren't too warm but not too cold if you're sitting still, t shirt and jeans ideally.
Ideal time to sleep and wake up: 2:30am and between 11:30 and 12:30
Dream job: I always say I'd like to be an academic with some pastoral role, which is true but ideally I'd do that most of the time and then an author the rest of the time.
Dream music collab: Stornoway and Hozier, this blog would be fucking incomprehensible.
One piece of advice for your past or future self: Just because an experience didn't go the way you wanted or expected, doesn't mean it wasn't worth it.
