1. Concerned about how much my confidence in my own ability (probably higher than ever) is not matched by an ease with which I can demonstrate this effectively. Will work harder and faster on this.

2. A lovely new typeface called Hiruko. Some similarity to a typeface I’ve been thinking of having a go at creating (hence the mention). It would be my first if so, but high time such an endeavour was attempted.

3. Lemon Jelly’s ‘Man Like Me’ video from 2005’s ‘64-’95 album.

Overlooked this track at the time but really like it now - terrific break loop (when it kicks off at 1:10), good use of sample (Ralph Tresvant’s ultra-smooth ‘Sensitivity‘), dreamy tones and of course Airside’s video offers charming, stylish imagery (I like the volcano eyes and the silhouette birds best). They’re due a new album now surely.
