Love how on the tasks they act like they’d just leave one of the celebs to blow up if they didn’t finish it in 90 seconds #celebritytraitors

10 years of 22, A Million by Bon Iver which also means I’ve been cancer free for over 10 years. Leaving the house and walking to HMV to buy this album was the first big step to recovering from my surgery and the goal that got me through those first few weeks. I’m overwhelmed whenever I hear it.

Madonna winning Artist of the Year at the VMAs in 2026. I know that’s right.

Congratulations to Taylor Swift for achieving the impossible today in managing to make The Life of a Showgirl even more unlistenable.

Watched the Theatrical versions of Lord of the Rings. Safe to say that is the last time we will be doing that instead of watching the infinitely superior Extended editions.

Losing a Ticketmaster war for a Charli XCX show is a timeline I never imagined I could be on.

Have posted on here twice in the last month. I’m so active elsewhere but can’t seem to find the rhythm of what and when to say anything here.

There are very few music icons that have impacted the world and people in a more positive way than Dolly Parton. Truly a legacy that will last forever.

I was changed for good by the Eternal Sunshine Tour. A privilege to hear Ariana Grande sing these songs live in this way. A stunning arena show.

3rd time playing football tonight and I think I’m getting the hang of not panicking and running away from the ball. So that’s progress I guess.

Madonna and Kylie performing Sorry together would have been the peak of my entire life so it’s probably a good thing I wasn’t there.

Going from the (very good) new Ariana Grande album straight into the (also very good) new Arca album was certainly a choice at 10am.

It is WEIRD BEHAVIOUR to film random people near you while at a gig. It’s not ‘having some fun’ to turn your camera at other people trying to have a good time and involve them in whatever you think you are filming.

We are in London (again) for a gig (obviously)

Iconic scenes from A Complicated Woman. Self Esteem is an all time great at this point.

We are headed to York today (for a gig obviously) and need some recommendations for places to eat/things to do tomorrow.

Huge show from Wet Leg tonight at Castlefield Bowl. Could barely see a thing through the excessive smoke machine mind.

The Madonna album is fantastic. What a day to have good taste in music.

I think Ultrabeat’s set at Cardiff pride might be the most chaotic live performance I’ve ever seen in my life.

Phoebe Bridgers playing arenas and having a no phones policy is the best news I could have heard today.

Have started a series over on TikTok and Instagram where I talk about an album I love from an LGBTQ+ artist every day in June. I’ve covered the following so far: Scissor Sisters - Scissor Sisters Who Am I? - Pale Waves Kick I - Arca the record - boygenius vm.tiktok.com/ZNRvdQjd5/

Actually completed a game for once. Enjoyed Death Stranding 2 even more than the first game and I still feel like I only scratched the surface of that world.

TikTok have auto set every single video of mine to ‘Allow AI to Remix Content’. The only way to remove this is to manually do it on every single video. The idea of something I’ve made or my likeness being used in an Ad that a marketing company has ‘created’ using GenAI is dystopian as fuck.

Met the pop icon of my life Robyn and think I came across as someone barely holding it together. (I was very overwhelmed)

One of my most lukewarm food takes is that Iced Finger Buns are an elite sweet food and have absolutely no right to be. I’ve just eaten 3 of them…

Have been back and forth on buying last minute tickets to see Gorillaz tonight but it’s £100 a ticket so feels like it’s not a wise ‘last minute’ decision.

Decided to do a thing today where I attempt to visit as many record shops in Manchester in one day but using only the tram to get between them all. This is how I’ve chosen to spend my day off from work.

Sigrid is a main pop girl in my life. One of the best we have. 🙏
