The biggest game of the season and of course the biggest of the season usually comes to town on Sunday. Whether it's well timed or not as far as United fans are concerned, I wouldn't like to say. Of course most reds see Liverpool's current woes and our spurt up the table on the back of five victories on the trot as the best possible time to play them. I'll reserve judgement on that.
It could be the best possible game for them to try and turn their season around, they will presumably go back to basics and fight hard, maybe they'll be happy with a point. As for us, five victories on the bounce is wildly out of sync with how the team have actually performed. Should have lost away to Arsenal, should have lost to Southampton and scraped the win against Stoke. I seriously, seriously hope Van Gaal's seemingly egotistical perseverance with three at the back is not the order of the day on Sunday. If it is, all bets are off.
Music
Brian Eno & Karl Hyde - High Life: Their second offering as a collaboration in the same year, it's as good if not better, lengthier, and more experimental, but rewarding. Hope there's more to come.
Creedence Clearwater Revival - Creedence Clearwater Revival: Until recently the only album of their's I had heard was Cosomo's Factory, which i loved. I'm onto my third offering with this debut album, they were a really great group, time seems to have not really given them their due.
Goat - Commune: The follow up album to their brilliant debut is another fine record, if maybe not quite the explosive package of the previous offering.
Jenny Lewis - The Voyager: I really liked this, I like her main group Rilo Kiley, but solo affair has more of laurel canyon type California west coast vibe, good stuff.
Paqua - Akaliko: This is one of my favourite albums of the year, up there with the War on Drugs album. It's been described as disco flavoured, I'm not sure I really see that. Yes it has a groove, but there's a lot more to it than that.
Royksopp - The Inevitable End: The last long player that the Norwegian duo will release if the media are to believed. And it really is a long player, you more than get your money's worth, full of collaboration's it is an excellent way to go out.
The Ghost Of A Saber Tooth Tiger - Midnight Sun: Sean Lennon's latest project is possibly the best work of his career. I had a lot of time for his mid noughties album Friendly Fire, which had a fair amount of his dad in it, but it was a good indie/pop album. This one goes further out, yet is still pretty radio friendly, very good album.
