Late drama, a familiar punch in the gut, and Bowie still demanding a belly rub — football, as ever, refuses to let things stay simple. But we are still there. Third in League Two. Just.

From Lennon’s raw rock and roll to Sylvester’s life-affirming groove, Dylan soundtracking Manchester chaos and Morrissey arriving on cue after a doorstep visit from the God Squad — a reminder that when everything is equal, the moments tend to find you.

The sound was low, barely there, but it filled the room. When it stopped, the silence felt wrong.

A humdrum day soundtracked by Jethro Tull, post-Morrison Doors, early Status Quo and late-period Leonard Cohen. Fuel shortages, spring air, quiet routines and the ongoing search for meaning between meals and music.

Sunlight returns, the head fully clears, and a day of wildly different voices somehow fits together perfectly.

Hail, bad decisions, and an old radio show unearthing forgotten gems that make the walk bearable again.

A tense Saturday lunchtime with BBC Radio Cambridgeshire as Cambridge grind out a crucial 1–0 win over Salford to stay in the promotion race.

A springtime wander soundtracked by Depeche Mode’s A Broken Frame, revisiting an awkward but important album from the band’s early years.

A sunlit Manchester wander with Bowie, drifting from Buzzcocks to OMD, Irish indie gems The Hitchers, and an Elvis film song, via old radio memories I’d forgotten about. And it was sunny!
