“it’s late September and I really should be back at school”, “wake me up when September ends”, “do you remember, the [23rd] night of September?”… So of course this is the perfect time to end the traditional summer break (yeah, that’s a thing) from #leeshitsinyourears – ask yourself, would anyone want to be beavering awayContinue reading “September 2021”

The Hitchers, Irelands finest straight outta Limerick. They’re best known for the anthem ‘Strachan’ that although I adore (best football song of all time, ever) although that doesn’t even make it on to this playlist of hits! I first heard of them when Strachan was on a friend’s dad’s cassette tape way back in theContinue reading “#thehitchershits”

Urgh, the longest winter of all time, ever, is just about coming to an end. Lockdown is easing – not that I care for people getting all up in my grill again – shorts are being worn at work and the sun/grey ratio is beginning to favour the big round thing in the sky. April’sContinue reading “April 2021”

It’s still 2021, it’s still lockdown, everything is still rubbish – weather has been alright last week, mind. Almost like you can feel summer is on its way and it is another month… So that means a new playlist. It’s a few days late, but who said there are any fucking rules anyway?!

ABBA, Swedish pop gods.

Frank Turner, English folky/rocky singer songwriter from down south somewhere. Used to be the frontman for Million Dead, but I can’t pretend I knew him from then or ever listened to them. Have seen him live a number of times in Oxford and Leamington (as a side for a grander venue, I think the AssemblyContinue reading “Frank Turner – Love Ire & Song (2008)”

Supergrass, local(ish) boys from Oxford. Quintessential 90s Britpop band. First saw them live at an acoustic show in one of the theatres in Oxford (not the big one) but the best performance I’ve seen of theirs was the final “homecoming” show of a tour at the Zodiac.

2021, the year that isn’t 2020, is in actual fact just more 2020. Covid still about? Yep. Here have some snow to deal with. Christmas out of the way? Yep. Don’t worry, work will carry on just as busy. Everything is still a bag of shit and there’s no sight of that light at theContinue reading “February 2021”

Blink 182, an American pop/punk trio that will (in my eyes) always be Mark, Tom & Travis. Apparently there was some other drummer when they formed for a bit and at this moment Tom DeLonge has been replaced by Matt Skiba (of Alkaline Trio fame), you learn something new everyday. I’ve not actually seen themContinue reading “#blink182shits”

Idlewild, Scottish band at their best alt/indie rock, in their latter years a little middle of the road. One of the bands that late night viewings on MTV2 in the day helped me find. Also remember the one and only time I utilised Shazam properly on a night out in Oxford. Saw them live inContinue reading “#idlewildshits”
