Brian’s Mixtape #45: Brian’s Album Round-up 2010

Brian’s Mixtape #45: Brian’s Album Round-up 2010

It’s hardly news to FFS’s regular readers that Brian’s a pretty inconsistent character.  He flits about, willy-nilly, with little concern for the wellbeing of his mixtape devotees.  You might be relieved to hear that he’s turning over a new Horse Chestnut leaf in 2011, but that relief might be short-lived when you realise he’s...

Blog: Helen’s Album Round-up 2010

Blog: Helen’s Album Round-up 2010

When I was an undergraduate we would sometimes play the ‘would you rather…’ game. Andy and Maggie play it in Extras (‘Would you rather be a penguin who’s a bird but can’t fly or a flying fish that’s a fish that can fly a bit?’, for example). I once asked the table (all literature...

Brian’s Mixtape #37: Let The Sun Shine

Brian’s Mixtape #37: Let The Sun Shine

Brian’s been having a lovely time at festivals over the past few weeks, and basking in the baking hot sun. Now the weather’s turned and he’s staying in to nurse his burnt feathers (not one for the factor 50, our Brian. Silly owl) he’s put together a nostalgic playlist for summers past. So kick...

Brian’s Mixtape #36: Brian’s been to Glasto

Brian’s Mixtape #36: Brian’s been to Glasto

Brian’s been a bit quiet of late, largely because when he gets really excited his wings start quivering and he can’t type.  What happened was, he realised it was June and that it was about to be Glastonbury, and his feathers were no longer under his control.  The lucky fellow doesn’t even have to...
