I have been playing a lot more #UFO50, which remains as outstanding as the first impressions suggested. Progress pictured. I really enjoyed getting good at Pingolf!

The main menu of UFO 50, showing five rows of ten game disks. These are coloured blue, gold or cherry red depending on progress. There are seven cherry disks and a further eight gold disks.

UFO 50 got me listening again to The Magnetic Fields' album 69 Love Songs, the project it most reminds me of. Confidently making an absurd number of things in a wide category (80s-style games/love songs) lends itself to stylistic exploration in a way that can be much more than the sum of its parts

A double CD box of The Magnetic Fields' 69 Love Songs. The group's name is written down the left hand side, and the rest of the cover is taken up with the number 69 in black on a white background.
