Tuesday, Tuesday. Up here in Scotland (specifically Edinburgh) it’s the last day of the school holidays. To any other parents north of the border - we’ve done it, folks. The end is in sight. Looking forward to tomorrow’s hectic early morning followed by a day of bliss.
Anyway, TV and Tunes Tuesday! Whatcha watching and listening to? Recommendations for movies, TV shows and music please!
Personally I have the last episode of Strange New Worlds, which I’m saving for tomorrow lunchtime and then it’s sayonara Paramount +. We’ve also just finished the reboot of Quantum Leap, which was cheesy but fun.
Music wise. Well, I’m a gen-xer so I’ve been listening to the remasters of the Lush albums. Long live shoegaze, the only correct style of dancing.
Been rewatching workaholics with my daughter. It’s so stupid we love it.
Weekly releases: what we do in the shadows - new series is killing it.
How to with joh Wilson - another where the latest seasons 3 episodes so far are just fantastic.
TV: I’m still going through the Star Wars: Clone Wars series. Just finished season 4 and I’m still really enjoying it. Also started season 5 of The Walking Dead. I’m watching that in fits and starts so I don’t get sick of it. 😂
Music wise, my go-to is always a synthwave band called The Midnight.
I’m finally read to admit that I actually like Apple TV’s Foundation now (I’m very brave). They do seem to have responded to some of the criticism of Season 1, and it’s less a show of such strikingly different two halves.
For music, I’m a big fan of ladies singing in regional accents: so ‘Conversations’ by Women’s Hour, and ‘Someone to Drive you Home’ by The Long Blondes have been on my playlist recently
Twisted Metal, I wouldn’t call it great but it’s good enough to be enjoyable.
Across the Spider-verse, it’s very good but so hectic and fast paced I struggled to keep up a few times.
I’ve been enjoying the first couple of episodes of Strange Planet on Apple TV. I wasn’t sure they could translate a comic strip into something that runs 20(ish) minutes, but it has had me laughing a lot.
Oh, and listening to Messy, the new album from Cindy Alexander. She did a super intimate (audience of 3, me being one of them) livecast the other night, it was really nice.
Also: they remastered the Lush albums? I’ll have to check that out.
