Full disclosure: I'm not into ALL musicals. I wouldn’t say I am a musical guy. I’ve never seen Rent, Miss Saigon, Cats, and certainly haven’t seen that Cats film with Taylor Swift. And don’t mention Hamilton to me. HOWEVER the musicals I AM into Les Mis and *ahem* 🥴 Grease LOL (although only really for the ONJ smash ‘Hopelessly Devoted to You’) I am into in a BIG way. With that being said, I got back into eBay recently and managed to grab a Les Miserables poster from the original 1987 Broadway run. I have my eye on this for a few years now and thought I should pull the trigger finally. I will frame and hang in my bathroom.

I know there is a certain stigma around the "theater kid" but I love a musical. They (mostly) are a lot of fun and sometimes they can really make you cry and feel something. For instance, as I'm writing this I'm watching one of my all-time favorites "Gypsy" specifically the one with Bette Midler. This film is the original Dance Moms, literally a show about a mom who pushed her kids into show business so hard that one of them ran away and the other became a stripper (Okay burlesque dancer but the show is set in the 1920s so like the same thing). Now I should specify when I say musical I don't mean you should put on any of these new shows that are just adaptations of films with badly written scores. Watch any musical written pre-2010 and post-1950s and I can guarantee It will be a fun time (unless you're one of those people who says the singing doesn't make sense cause in the real world nobody would sing, stop hating fun!) All I'm gonna finish with is they are so fun and campy (sometimes) and often have lots of interesting ideas and ways of presenting them (like the film adaptation of Cabaret? so good).

It recently started to snow pretty bad in Scotland, where I reside, so it seemed only fitting I upgrade my wardrobe. Not that I ever need much of an excuse. About 4 years ago Mister Mort posted someone in Paris wearing North Face down pants WITH a North Face Nuptse and I have been obsessed with finding something similar for when the temperature really drops. Nike currently has these bad boys on sale and are going to be a winter staple for me for years to come.

I don’t read as much as I should, but I bought the Zodiac book by Robert Graysmith a while back and recently during this latest lockdown I have been making my way through that. True crime is lame as hell, and does nothing for me but this is interesting. And dark AF!David Fincher made a film a few years back aswell tarring the god Jake Gyllenhall, aswell as a host of other big names, which I would also thoroughly recommend. Its kinda longer than anything I would normally choose to watch these days, but my attention span lasted which means its worth it.

Look, for the most part all new music is pretty garbage. Let's get that out the way. 2020 didn’t really blow me away with new releases. It's either completely forgettable, too long or too short, boring, or just not good. Sometimes a combination, sadly.To kick off a new year I went back to an old classic. I suppose we always go back to what we know and love, in life. ‘Dancing on My Own’ by Robyn is one of the best songs written in the last 15 years - probably more if we are being honest! You can listen Robyns songs when you are happy OR sad. Definition of a classic.
