What aspects of your cultural heritage are you most proud of or interested in?

I have an interest in the history of Britain.

It’s not something I actively pursue at the moment though.

I started listening to the British History Podcast, which was very interesting and entertaining to listen to.

Writing this based on today’s prompt has reminded me of that interest and so may pick up my learning once again.

My all time favorite album

What’s your all-time favorite album?

The Bends by Radiohead

This is one writing prompt that has taken me a while to really think about.

There’s a bunch of albums I could name that are in my top albums. However, trying to name a single all-time favorite album has been tricky.

I decided in the end on “The Bends” by Radiohead.

I love every single song on the album and each song flows perfectly into the next.

Stand out songs

Every song is a banger. But singling out a few I’d say these are my favorite off the album:

  • Just
  • My Iron Lung
  • Bones (used excellently in the TV series Derek)

So glad I got to see these live at V Festival back in 2006.

That was a while ago now.

So much has changed since then.

In fact, now I come to think about it, this album is one where I can remember specific times when I’ve lay there, often in the dark, and just listened to it through with headphones.

It’s amazing what you remember when you sit to write something down.

Heavy is the crown by Linkin Park

If The Emptiness Machine is a banger, which it is, then Heavy is the Crown is an ABSOLUTE FUCKING BANGER mate.

Wow.

This is really a new era of Linkin Park and I am here for it.

The song felt completely familiar of early Linkin Park, but completely fresh.

And Emily’s scream at 1 minute 48 seconds. Christ on a bike.

Wow.

Roll on the album release date. 🤘

Love it.

I really need to get my shit together and start degoogling completely.

Tried it so many times before but need to commit.

Music will be the trickiest to replace. I have a tonne of CDs to rip to digital but the ease of discovering new stuff may be trickier.
