August Audio

The final part of the epic adventure then back to reality (which, of course, started with a lot of emails and Arnold Clark’s warranty repair “it’s really fixed this time” not, in fact, being fixed), Fringe (loved IKEA Wars and Crapp’s River), Arkham nights, Cory Doctorow & Jimmy Wales at the EdBookFest, birthday Bowling, muchos DIY, and a Lorde gig (fab)!

• Green Light - Lorde

  Amazing to see Lorde live - thanks to the kid for taking me along!

• And So It Goes - New York Vocal Collective

  I sang this with my choir about 10 years ago and I’d love to sing this gorgeous version.

• Lithium (Nirvana Cover) - Phoebe Bridgers

  Not the cover anyone was expecting - lets the lyrics shine through.

• Bravest Neighbor - Fishboy

  First few listens and it rewards relistens as much one of 2024’s highlight albums, Waitsgiving, did.

• Well Done Kid, You Did It - Westside Cowboy

  Wrest, Big Thief and FR vibes.

• The Will Of Tongues - Sarah Davachi

  Late addition to the month’s listening but on first listen this gave me the feeling of hearing Sigur Rós ( ) for the first time (iconic moment, on the Bedlam sound system alone in the theatre).

• Girls Just Wanna Have Fun - Me First And The Gimmie Gimmies

  Because of course they do.
