Parasite

And this is really good too. A year after it won an Oscar is ok for nominating a film, right?

It's a Sin | Official Trailer

Have seen 3/5ths of this and it's very good. Steve/Ray I assume your rampant homophobia has abated somewhat and will allow you to enjoy.

Gabriels

I like this a lot...

I might be wrong...

Testing, 1, 2, 3

Been a bit ambivalent about this lot (I believe Lammo is a big fan) - but I like this. Sounds a bit Blur-ish.

BARTS 2020 (Kelly)

I've given it a stab...

The Winning Thing You'd Most Recommend Your Fellow Judges to Own / have / Consume / Do

Make sure you give the Laura Marling album some time

Andrew's nemesis

This is rather lovely...

Weezer - Hero

Not really keen on this - which I know is completely contrary to the point of the blog - but I leave it here as a curio/discussion point. Heard it on the radio yesterday and the DJ said it was a band he'd listened to a lot in his youth and they were back but sounding very different... without saying who it was before playing it. Whilst it was on I was guessing bands like Feeder or Blink 182.

Weird Fishes

Obviously helped by being a great tune; but I'm liking this cover version a lot...

Colin Robinson

Who's been watching the second series of "What We Do in the Shadows"? I think it's much stronger than the first. The above episode, where Colin Robinson gets a promotion, being the highlight.
