love a good story
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.
What’s your all-time favorite album?
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.
Every song is a banger. But singling out a few I’d say these are my favorite off the album:
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.
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.
It’s Kiki’s 5th Birthday today.
Well, we don’t know her exact date of birth, but do know she was thought to have been born in September 2019.
She’s a rescue you see.
My work buddy and little stalker. 💚

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. #degoogle
Colonel Luke Lillingston raised a regiment of foot at the King’s Head on the 25th March 1705.
This Regiment became the 38th foot in 1751. And was given the title of the 1st Staffordshire Regiment in 1782.
In 1881 the 38th foot became the 1st BN The Staffordshire Regiment.
I was reminded of this banger of a song tonight from Dr Dre’s Compton Album.
One of my favourites of Eminem’s features with hard bars that aren’t for the faint-hearted.
This is always a fun challenge to try. Speed running through the final section of Hillcrest. 🐕🏚️
Everybody should have their own website. If they want to.
It’s really nice to get out early with Sherlock for walkies.
This one took a few days ago but wanted to share. 🐕🦺

The drive to be constantly innovating to sell more new shit, when the shit we have works fine, is ruining technology.
I don’t want a new phone every year. I don’t want a new computer every six months. I don’t want a software upgrade that changes everything. I don’t want a fancy new language we have to rewrite everything in for reasons.
I want bug fixes. I want security patches. I want removal of fundamentally broken things. I want big thick manuals with full coverage of every option and setting and function call. I want people to be able to learn programming the way you learn woodworking – as a mature discipline not subject to regular world shaking innovation.
100% agree with this. No to the shiny shiny all the time.

Really digging the new Linkin Park song “The Emptiness Machine”.
And the new members are a welcome addition.
Emily fits really well in my opinion and her vocals on this song make me excited for Linkin Park’s future.
Yes, Chester is missed greatly, and I can’t imagine the pressure of taking his spot, but she’s doing great.
On their Livestream, a couple of the old songs were a little jarring for me. But only because it’s a new person singing them.
On the whole she brought something both reminiscent and fresh to the songs I have grown up loving.
If people hate the idea of lineup changes then tell them to check out Fleetwood Mac – they’ll lose their heads.
Listened to Cut to Impress by Maggie Rose
This album has resurfaced in my life and it just hits a lot differently than it did last time I heard it.
Every song is an absolute banger that are bookended by two of my favorite Queen songs — Innuendo and The Show must go on.
The lyrics of These are the days of our lives is especially poignant to me now as a father.
The intense stare that only a cat can give.
