Charles Watts says that his impression of the situation is that it isn’t serious and he should be OK for resumption of the season.

Hopefully it's one of the classic injuries that amounts to giving him a rest and that's he's good to go after the break.

I haven't seen any of the "action" but the result is concerning

Barcelona sign Szczęsny

The retirement didn’t last long.

Woke up to see the last 10. Important result!

I just found out we might have to play Porter, the 16yo, 4th choice ’keeper.

I thought some more about a couple of the points I made in the post-match thread, having read and listened to some stuff about the post-match reactions from Silva, Stones, Guardiola etc.

All of this is GOOD. ManC are implicitly announcing that we are the proverbial bee's dick away from besting them. This reminds me of the Wenger and Ferguson, Vieira and Keane rivalry period. Instead of Pep and Co. patronising us at the end of matches, they now have to reach for anything they can to try and get an advantage over us. They are resorting to being happy they got a draw at home and bitching about our so-called "dark arts". Meh.

All this without MØ and Merino coming back PLUS Rodri out for the season.

I'm pretty excited to see what happens. Hopefully my optimism doesn't get crushed like a bug!

Happy Tuesday. We're now 7-5 equal favourites for the title with the bookies.

Red cards carry across domestic competitions, apparently.

 

Another new discovery for me. This band is from Rouen in France. Have been listening, today, to their new album that just came out. This is the lead track. A pretty good racket, don't you think?

A Sydney band who I have listened to a little bit before, but not extensively. This track from July, recently popped up in my suggestions. It's nice.

I am liking the sound of Stockholm's Girl Scout. A little bit like Sprints, perhaps. Here's another of their recent tracks that is a bit more jangly. Would go to one of their gigs if they played near me.

While finding more about The Linda Lindas, I discovered that Kristin from Dum Dum Girls was involved in their genesis. Here’s a track that reminds me of Mazzy Star. I only recently made that connection but it seems quite obvious in hindsight.

Cameo appearance by Naoko from Shonen Knife.

I was reminded of this tune today. Cordrazine had a moment in Australia in the late 90s, with this song being reasonably prominent at an "alternative" level, even getting to #42 on the mainstream chart. The corresponding album reached #9.

The band was fronted by Hamish Cowan who had previously been in another indie band called Blindside with Cordrazine guitarist, Nick Batterham. I was socially acquainted with Hamish at the time, but don't know where he is now.

Youtube link, if needed.
