Listening to probably my favourite album of all time, Giant Steps by The Boo Radleys. It’s just a beautiful record; hopeful, melancholic, raucous, delicate, and it never stays still for a moment. And of course, Lazarus is one of my favourite *songs* of all time.

To paraphrase Snow Crash:
“Until a man is twenty-five, he still thinks, every so often, that under the
right circumstances he could make the best record in the world.
James used to feel that way, too, but then he ran into Giant Steps. In a way, this is liberating. He no longer has to worry about trying to make the best record in the world. The position is taken.”
@Floppy I was talking about Lazarus the other day, what an incredible song - I should listen to the album
