Oh shit on my tits. I thought he'd at least make January. This is quite a big one

...excellent.

Speaking of Muse, I urge you to listen to their new album Simulation Theory. Fucking spectacular album, not a single weak spot in it. Their best since Origin of Symmetry I reckon, and that's saying a great deal.

On shuffle in the office. Excellent early-ish R.E.M. from the mid-80s... ...followed by excellent Muse from mid-last week.

Did a first 50 draft of my Shadow List earlier. I know it's not the done thing, but here's a teaser of what's to come...

Quelle surprise, another news conference becomes a difficult wade through a sea of vitriol. He appears to be utterly preoccupied on slagging down CNN rather than being able to give a coherent response to, or even taking note of, any question. Losing it.

Remember, remember, the 8th of November, chief Robert Catesby was shot. Recusant Catholic Robert Catesby's 'Gunpowder Plot' to blow up the House of Lords with James I in it all came crashing down on this day 413 years ago, aged 33.

Probably only a handful of people in the world were aware of Kay Nakayama's musical artistic merit before Playstation's Gran Turismo series put his stuff on their soundtrack. Shame; this stirring piece is absolutely exquisite.

ITV Newsreader Charlene White gets loads of racist abuse for not wearing a poppy on air, as it turns out for "impartiality rules".

Banging out the French tunes.

I agree! No obvious signs of self-destruction, but somehow she's the type

Blossoms. Very unshit.

River Phoenix's Dark Blood stopped pumping 25 years ago today, aged 23.

Oh what a sad day it was 7 years ago...

Deathrace Form Guide #4: Resisting failed. I'm not about to leave her out in the cold. She's in it as well.

Deathrace Form Guide #3: *Resists urge to post another Leah Bracknell* Terry Jones is going the way of Peter Falk. He's not looking too clever these days either, as it goes. Is it wise to always look on the bright side of life when, lamentably, he can barely remember his name or not to piss himself nowadays? Could be a quick exit...

Slam Guide #7: My DL Hero She's a survivor. She not gon' give up. She not gon' stop. She gon' smoke harder.
