cobalt cobalt lets you save what you love without ads, tracking, paywalls or other nonsense. just paste the link and you're ready to rock!

That does seem to be the case, but there'll always be new options. cobalt.meowing.de worked for me just now (not necessarily a recommendation, usual disclaimers apply).

WeTransfer has a free tier, although you need to grab the sent files within three days. You could also just take them from YouTube using a downloader website (there are many), although they might be a bit compressed.

Did you see Gruff just put a free live album on Bandcamp? His recent solo stuff is so dull it breaks my heart, but I'm very glad SFA will be touring again soon.

I just saw Jodie Comer in Prima Facie at the theatre. Just incredible, an absolute masterclass in acting, and a deeply moving story.

(Not my photos - I'm not the sort of maniac who'd take pics during a play.)

Boring unimaginative podcast titles that rip off Hamlet's dying words.

HAMLET: The rest is silence.

Amy Berg, the director of the new Jeff Buckley film, just said on 6 Music, "I don't want to make it as though Jeff was walking on water." Well, quite.

Nice to be told my personal value is on a par with a muffin. Thanks a bunch, Sainsbury's.

Ah right, interesting. I did check the @b3ta.com account which didn't have the same error.

Not sure if anyone's mentioned this already, but your account here is showing an "invalid handle" warning. Have you changed your custom DNS records?

"Tell me how you feel about this" isn't a question either. The only one in the entire song is "how'd you like this knowledge that I brought?" It bugs me every time I hear it (thankfully not too often these days).

Showing my age a bit here, but I heard this in the voice of Bono at the beginning of Rattle & Hum.

There was a typo in there too, but I didn't want to be 'that guy'! Happy Christmas to you 🙂

It wasn't a 12-issue series though, as you say.

When I was about 10 I thought Armageddon was pronounced "our MAGA Don", which coincidentally is what America has at the moment.

"Liam was such an iconic frontman, you almost expected him to be dead."

I'm reading Faster Than A Cannonball: 1995 and All That by Dylan Jones. Oh my, the writing is abysmal. Mistakes, repetition, meaningless nonsense, and how on earth did anyone look at this and think, "yeah, that's good, leave it in"?

The Last Dinner Party were incredible last night. Theatrical, funny, moving, epic, with talent to burn. By some distance the best thing I've seen all year.

They've got a huge majority they could have used to actually push through decent, progressive policies. I can't believe they chose instead to embrace cruelty and racism. What a waste.

Same. It's like we're in an alternate reality where Nick Griffin won. I don't really know what Labour are for these days, if it's not to keep the right out of power.

I grew up in Somerset and went in 92,93 and 94, plus a few other years (I saw the Stone Roses at the Pilton Party in 95, a few weeks after they pulled out of the main festival and Pulp took their headliner place).
