'... the music on Songs of a Lost World feels more direct & purposeful than either of its immediate predecessors ... Simon Gallup’s bass provides a visceral growl, & the drums punch through the layered sound in a way that recalls the punishing rhythms of 1982’s Pornography.' YES. https://www.theguardian.com/music/2024/oct/18/the-cure-songs-of-a-lost-world-album-review
The Cure: Songs of a Lost World review – dark, personal and their best since Disintegration

I just love how much fun Snoop Dog is having at the Olympics.
A mystical and golden start to the day here in Glastonbury. Have a fabulous weekend.
I am absolutely obsessed by all the drama around the WInchester Peregrines - the death of Winnie, the original female, following a 'scuffle' with the new female, Mel, a new male trying to usurp William, etc - but finally Mel & William have an egg https://winchester-cathedral.org.uk/peregrines/

I'm just sharing this petition - I know I know, but if it gets some love it may help persuade the BBC to change its mind over the madness of the #Newsnight cuts, which I am quite furious about. They had a lovely interview with Alex Cox about Shane McGowan last night which absolutely would not happen under the new plans https://www.change.org/p/urge-bbc-to-reconsider-planned-cuts-for-newsnight?recruiter=22081780&utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=psf_combo_share_initial&recruited_by_id=98a54300-7535-0130-7813-3c764e04b838&share_bandit_exp=initial-37768469-en-GB
