My boys loved listening to us read The Hobbit when they were 4 or 5.

Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator is a good but weird read. Not so much a sequel as much as it is a slightly related acid trip 😂

Not an album I know well. For some reason I always gravitate to Love Over Gold and Making Movies - I know those albums like the back of my hand. Masterpieces, both of them. I must give this another listen

Absolutely brilliant. I'm only a casual fan really but DG is just an absolute legend on stage - giving 100%, 100% of the time. Totally engaged with the crowd and just generally having fun. Considering he's been doing this for almost 30 years, it's frankly astounding that he's not just going through the motions. A consummate professional and brilliant entertainer.

Superb. Top 3 for concerts I've been to - and I've been lucky enough to go to a LOT when I lived in Melbourne. Foos really are a class act when it comes to live shows.

Brother's partner dropped us in the general area and we walked - traffic was insane, so super glad we didn't go down the parking route!!

I've been mostly off work for a week with back injury. Not fun at all, and I've not tolerated the drugs at all well either. Finally feeling like I'm back to something close to normal today though, so back to work tomorrow.

Have been setting up my first new phone in about 4 years. Only reason I changed is because the screen on the S10+ was completely past it. Have gone to a Pixel 7a. It's a phone I guess 😂

That's them. Nasty sting indeed - my niece got hit the other day swimming at our local beach here on the West Coast (S.I.)

That book freaked me out as a kid

Similar timing in my house by the sounds of things! Merry Christmas one and all

Guess I'd never really listened properly to those lyrics. Makes sense it's about homelessness... To be fair, it's pretty bloody hard to understand what EV's singing at the best of times.

I often wonder what changed about Pearl Jam's songwriting - they never managed to recapture that same intensity that Ten had. Incredible debut, not a bad song on that album. Then Vs, a couple, maybe three dud songs. Vitalogy, maybe 50/50. Stopped listening pretty much after that. Certainly never bought another of their albums.

Like Vedder's solo stuff tho.

Yes, and I understand the process pretty well I think, as well as what I'm striving to output (long time Lightroom user). But the DT just doesn't respond how I expect it to, with unexpected results. Frustrating.

Wasn't aware of the pixls site though; I like that idea!
