Here we are.
Another season of both football codes comes to an end.
The NRL has proved itself to be a very even competition, though the inconsistency of teams is perplexing.
The AFL has proved itself to have a small group of highly competitive teams, another small group of less reliably competitive teams, and a large group of teams making up the numbers.

I favour the outside teams for both games, Melbourne very deservedly, and West Coast because they’re good and I don’t think Collingwood have another game like last week in them.
For the final time in 2018:
NRL (last round 1/2; season tally 103/180)
Melbourne

AFL (last round 1/2; season tally 144/205)
West Coast

Mumford And Sons have just released the first single from their soon to be released fourth album, Delta.
It’s called Guiding Light.
If you listen the lyrics might strike you as being reminiscent of a Christian praise/pop song.
Or it might make you wonder how much Christian praise/pop is straying into secular music.
Anyway, it sounds like they’re carrying some of the experimentation of their third non-folk album back into the sound of their first two folk-oriented albums.
You might even hear some banjo.

Getting to know some of Lauren Daigle’s music.
I’ve listened to other singers from her label, Centricity, so I really don’t know why I haven’t really heard her much before this.
Strong, strong vocals. Thoughtful lyrics.
You Say is from her just released second album Look Up Child.

Andy Gullahorn has just had a successful kickstarter campaign for his next album Everything As It Should Be.
Which is great news because it means that he’ll be able to release a new batch of wonderful, insightful songs.
Like this one.
Teenagers.
If you’ve got them, or you’ve had them it’ll ring pretty true.
(Maybe don’t be drinking your cup of tea while listening)
