Ivy's albums are like hidden treasures; they're the expensive whispers of music that even Google gets confused by.

2025 was a mixed bag—while I fought a retagging battle, HMHB crafted another gem only locals would understand. Most will blissfully miss its lyrical brilliance!

60s sound, almost forgotten but totally memorable once listened to.

In the previous episode I told you about the two trips to hospital including: Chest X-rays, Oxygen masks, Blood oxygen sensors, ECGs and being told to cease drugs until otherwise told. In this episode...something misnamed as tea.

Another terrible poem by Stegzy Gnomepants aged 52 & 5/12ths, this one is a bit mopey and about remembering people from the past.

Afflatus - The Polyphonic Spree[#671]

So something bollocks happened between the last entry and this one. I had been mooching about on my PC exploring a box of old hard drives I had come across which contained quite a lot of music that had, for what ever reason known only to Apple Music, removed itself from my Apple Music Library. I copied some of what I found into my iTunes – album by album – before I got bored and tried to move…

Lemon Jelly.ky - Lemon Jelly [#670]

Long time readers will recall the very first album write up in the project being Lemon Jelly’s ‘64-‘95 and how much has changed since then, musically, globally and culturally. Just listening to this, their first album released in 2000, brings back memories of an almost alien world- no social media as such, no 9-11 paranoia, no politically induced panic attacks and no mediascape flooded with…

The Cat Committee

The cat committee would like it to be known that, as 2024 was exceptionally horrible for all, 2025 will be an improvement. At least, that is, if they get extra skritches, treats and hot box before it is house humans time to return to work on Thursday.

Leftism- Leftfield [#669]

Another soundtrack of mid nineties culture. A time where less seemingly mattered and the optimism of a new millennium was peeping over the horizon. Leftism was never one of those albums that I went and bought but it seemed to be in most people’s music libraries or displayed proudly on their coffee tables having been cited as one of the 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die in either the 2005…

Left of the Middle - Natalie Imbruglia [#668]

That actor from Neighbours jumps on the “Actors from Neighbours who want a pop career” wagon and releases an angsty “men are utter shits” album. Not entirely sure why I have this as it’s not really my usual fayre but that said there are some catchy tunes that capture the late 90s zeitgeist here. From Torn (a bitter ballad describing the emotional fallout from the realisation that the man the…

Burns Night

Haggis, neeps and tatties Now an annual tradition, at D&D last night our esteemed host Mark put on a fine spread of haggis, neeps and tatties. Haggis, as you know are small tartan coloured animals that roam free in the rugged highlands of the North. Their little nasal wails and toots can be heard across the mountains from many miles away and are often hunted by toffs for their fur which is used…

Cottage Pie for One

AI-Generated Cottage Pie Picture I asked an AI text generator to create a short monologue called “Cottage Pie for One” in the style of Alan Bennett. This is the result: As I stand alone in my tiny, dimly lit kitchenette, surrounded by the mundane aromas of a bygone era, I find solace in my comforting ritual of making cottage pie for one. The humble ingredients intertwine, creating a symphony of…
