Things I did not expect to see when I got up this morning: my wife singing Welcome To The Black Parade with Holly Herndon's real time AI

The Frieze sculpture exhibition in Regents Park is lovely on a day like this. Contains this excellent chicken scrotum flower

There's something weirdly quaint about the idea that a gunman might have shot through a taxi window in rush hour Soho without anyone noticing or talking about it for 24 hours

The BBC launched Fast Forward and that killed it. Look-In just couldn't cope with a weekly Allo Allo comic strip

Not just that, he's talking about Brent D Pitchfork reviews of M*mus in interviews. (Also the interviewer diplomatically/catastrophically doesn't point out that that all those musical reference points eventually curdled into Calvin Harris, which is the vibe he gives me)

They are extremely good live as well

Hot take - this is how prog rock bands are supposed to look

Very much starting with dessert here, audacious opening gambit

Did you see what I done, came for the pop polls, muted Tim Farron

Credit where it's due it was an absolutely belting year for music
