Inspired by Larson House, I am listening to artists I have never indulged in before. Each week, I take an artist suggested to me by friends, from the jar and listen to them for the week. This week was the turn of Norwegian alt-rock band, Madrugada. What I Knew Before: This is one of the few …

Music Jar – week 20
Each week, I take an artist from a pickle jar on my bar caddy and try to indulge in their discography for a week. What with one thing and another, this sometimes proves slightly difficult and my brain is unable to process at the best of times. This week was the turn of Roberta Joan “Joni” …
Music Jar – week 18
Every week, I listen to an artist that I’ve never taken the time with before. This week was the turn of Gloucestershire’s own FKA twigs. What I Knew Before: I was aware of FKA twigs (and yes, that’s lowercase on purpose) more for her amazing performance in Honey Boy and her relationship with Robert Pattinson, …
Music Jar – week 14
At the start of the year, I put the names of 52 artists into a jar. Each week, I take one out and focus on that musician, singer or band. This week I had the absolute pleasure of listening to Memphis’s own, soul sen-goddamn-sation, Aretha Franklin! What I Knew Before: It’s pretty hard not to …
Music Jar – week 12
It’s been a strange week and I’ve not really taken the opportunity to really delve into the music on offer from this week’s artist. As my wonderful friend Elisa put it, Jessie Ware probably isn’t my bag anyway. What I Knew Before: Jessie is short for Jessica. What I Know Now: Jessie Ware has three albums. …
Music Jar – week 9
Names go into jar. Hand goes into jar. One winner appears (each week). This week was the turn of the real (Canadian) People’s Princess, Alanis Morissette. What I Knew Before: I knew Jagged Little Pill very well. I could shout a lot of the lyrics at you when drunk. I also knew that people like …
Music Jar – week 8
Inspired by The Larson House, I put 52 bands/artists in a pickle jar. Each week I take a name out and focus on listening to them. This week was the turn of empirical sad girl, Lana Del Rey. What I Knew Before: Lana Del Rey is a mystical and beautiful beast who has a significant …
Music Jar – Week 7
After reading about a project by The Larson House, I put the names of 52 bands/artists in a pickle jar. Each week I listen to one in the hope of finding new favourites and eventually, the leap home. This week was the turn of the thinking woman’s crumpet, Guy Garvey, and his sticky wicket band, …
Music Jar – Week 3
Every week, I open up a pickle jar, take out a slip of paper and listen to that artist. This week it was the turn of Brighton Rock rockers, Black Honey. What I Knew Before: I knew the two words separately, but I don’t believe I had seem them working together. What I Know Now: …
My big commitment.
In 2019, I committed myself in a way that I had never done before. I paid in advance for a Odeon Limitless card for the year. This meant that I could watch as many films as possible for one fixed fee. I don’t know if it’s of any interest to anyone else but I watched: …
