Assessment type. Films, records, books, That Sort Of Thing. Wielder of guitars. Will write for Scampi Fries, or cash. I’m not like this because I’m in Van Halen, I’m in Van Halen because I’m like this. Letterboxd: https://boxd.it/jKip Croydonite.

FT headline: Rush to fire quote deadwood unquote executives
A blu-ray of Hal Ashby’s Coming Home
A takeaway dish called ‘Sexy Chips’. It is not immediately clear why they are particularly sexy.
A blurred early‑morning London street scene viewed from the center of the road, with soft sunlight casting long shadows. Two men are passing each other in the middle-distance, their legs slightly blurred with motion.

A snip of a Facebook memory, recalling an excerpt from a review written by the poster: 3 Jun 2018 Just looking over reviews of Field Days past; had forgotten my "it's a crush-course for the ravers" line from last year, on the subject of the crammed conditions in the tent for Aphex Twin. I suppose I can be Quite Good sometimes.
The poster for A24’s Backrooms
Aldous Harding, on stage at the Barbican tonight. In this image (more by accident than design), she is fairly still and in focus, aside from her arms, which are at rather strange angles, and blurred by motion.
Count Jaakola, onstage earlier tonight at Paper Dress Vintage, Hackney
The opening lyrics to (not) A Good Idea by Sugar, with some ‘amusing’ substitutions implying that the poster is going to see a gig tonight which is going to be Extremely Hot
An advert on public transport for a *new* Scary Movie film. Not worth a top slot on the great list of Awful 2026 Things, sure, but it’s in there.
This is The Blowholes, from one specific episode of The Adventures of Pete & Pete. No, you’re a niche reference.
A glass of Port and tonic, being held (respectfully) aloft against a backdrop of the Douro river, Porto.
The interior of Fiasco, a bar that’s a record shop that’s a bar, in Porto. Three LPs bought in here: V/A - America Dream Reserve Lô Borges - s/t My New Band Believe - s/t
A vegetarian version of the local favourite Francesinha. To be honest, I’m expecting to get a picture on the wall (minimum) if I manage to finish this thing.
The Torre dos Clérigos, Porto, from ground level
Four pictures of Porto: the interior of a studio apartment; a street scene; the interior of a natural wine bar; the interior of São Bento station

A ticket for The Devil Wears Prada 2

Another square brown mailer?
A brown cardboard mailer. Is this some kind of record?

4 LPs: The Rotters’ Club by Hatfield and the North How Sad, How Lovely by Connie Converse Gal Costa - s/t Arthur Verocai - s/t
An idiot, holding another guitar which he does NOT need.
An advert on the tube for Trinny neck cream. “I didn’t know a neck cream could do this”, it says. The image shows a woman holding a tube of the cream in her left hand, which is resting across the top of her head. The angle is unnatural enough to give the impression that she cannot move it.
The poster for Peter Weir’s 1974 debut feature film, The Cars that Ate Paris.
The silly jumping game
