Interesting. FB just offered me this in ‘people you may know’.
I’m not sure whether the algorithm is suggesting that (a) we move in exalted circles, or simply that (b) we’re really old.

Happy ‘Peaks Day’, friends.

Very excitingly, a mere 24 hours after its release, NMLAF #39 is already 81 with a bullet in Mixcloud’s ‘Global Podcast Chart’. Please listen to it at least ten times and help me get it to #1.
I’ve never been number one at anything in my life.

NMLAF #39: A brace of apologies.
Firstly. It has come to this humble DJ's notice that during the above issue of No More Love And Flowers, I referred to the Cure album as 'Songs Of A Lost Planet'. It is, of course, called 'Songs Of A Lost World', and I know that perfectly well, I'd just played the fu***ng record for Christ's sake, but I'm old and I get things wrong.
Secondly. I blatantly spent a long time explaining why it was utterly impossible - 'futile' was the word I think I used - to rank my favourite albums of last year in any kind of order, and then by the end of the podcast told you which was my favourite. Furthermore, I solemnly declared that I wasn't going to eulogise David Lynch, and then almost immediately spent two minutes doing exactly that.

For these inadequacies, I can only apologise. But hey, the music's good.

PS. Buy my completely unrankable 'how can you compare it to any of the others' Album Of The Year HERE >>>>

After a protracted and extremely painful illness, The Concrete Fox is back, stumbling out of the wreckage of winter like the only survivor in a dystopian road movie. In his hands: a flamethrower, a tin of pineapple, and a juicy, two-hour-long special featuring excellent music, an album review of 202...

Oh Christ. You poor, poor bastards. How the hell have you gotten through January? Carrying on bravely, I suppose, as if nothing was wrong, like the strong bloody soldiers you are. But beneath that mask that you show to the outside world, I know that your brain has spent the entire year until now worrying away at one solitary thing, like a dog with a bone: 'What in the name of Jesus bicycling Christ was the Concrete Fox's favourite album of 2024? In fact, what were his SEVEN favourite albums of last year? For god's sake, tell me now, before I self-immolate through uncertainty.'
Well, I prostrate myself. (Any excuse, basically.)
I can't apologise enough for leaving you high and dry. So I won't. However, you can all get on with your lives now, because all will be revealed on Saturday in a two-hour (almost) special.
