Had the last drive to uni drive with my dad today, it’s crazy that in 3 months I’ll be done with my degree and idk if I’m ready for that. The drive was good we just sit and talk about sports and listen to music, today we listened to This Is Happening by LCD Soundsystem (my favourite album, seeing them in June and I can’t wait) and Turn on the bright lights by Interpol (a album we listened to together during one of our trips in first year). I’m gonna miss it as it’s one of the only times I get to socialise with my dad, he’s not really a people person and works a lot of the time. To me those drives were a core part of my time at uni and was always something I looked forward to even if I was a bit hungover and stuck in a hot car for a few hours.

I don't even need the ride, I just like spending time with him.

It’s soul healing I think. Went to see They Might Be Giants with my dad and cried at Birdhouse thinking about 8 year old me singing it with my dad. We‘ve also seen Belle and Sebastian and Yeah Yeah Yeahs together. He said we just need to see Avril Lavigne and Blondie now and we’ll have seen all the bands we used to cover when I was little (him on guitar me singing). Just go to gigs with your dad, the best gig companion.

Completely done with university now just waiting for graduation in July. For those who are interested my dissertation was on how music streaming platforms have individualised how we listen to and experience music

My school did a workshop about it when I was like 10 and I think the amount of care and dedication it takes to hand crafting each and every frame is so cool. When its done well you get a really stylised films, I’m thinking like Chicken Run, Wallace and Gromit, Coraline, Fantastic Mr. Fox, ParaNorman and The Box Trolls all of which I loved as a kid and every time I rewatch them I get the same sense of childlike wonder I did when I watched them the first time. I know there’s a lot of crossover with CGI now when making them but just the concept of stop motion animation is really cool.
