Whitby
Had a lovely week in Whitby last week.
A lot of walking around the town and beaches, finding places to eat. You can’t go wrong with any of the fish and chip shops. We had great meals at Pizza West and Crocodile (tapas). Crocodile was such a small place and had the best atmosphere.
We spent a few hours at the museum one day. The whole place reminded me of the museum in Animal Crossing: old, quiet, and calm.

Top New Artist
- Sleep Token – 6 plays
One of my friends has been recommending Sleep Token. I have only listened to a few but they are pretty good. Mostly not my kind of music though. Quite varied but a bit too metal for me (occasionally very shouty metal!). The tracks can also be a bit long as well.

Top New Artist
- Rifti Beats – 21 plays
I’m really enjoying Anamanaguchi’s new song Darcie. They are singing for the first time on an album and have a bit of a Weezer sound. Definitely looking forward to the whole album in August.
Listened to some of the Lofi Final Fantasy albums by Rifti Beats. Nice and calm.

Marathon Preview
Bungie always get me with their announcements and hype for upcoming releases and they showed off some Marathon gameplay last week. It does look excellent.
I play a lot of Destiny so I have no doubt the gameplay will feel brilliant but I don’t know if I will personally enjoy the extraction shooter part. It sounds stressful and potentially frustrating. My main fear is there will be a lot of being killed by invisible players out of nowhere if Destiny PvP is anything to go by. I will give it a go at least.
The cinematic they made is also extremely good.

I have had the Lone Striker album on again all week. It stuck in my head so much that when I went to buy it I ordered the vinyl as well!

Really enjoying Starry Eyed by Good Neighbours this week along with their other songs.
Lone Striker’s album has also been at the top of my list to listen to most days. Dunno and Pinnochio are the two stand out tracks for me.
