Morning all.
There’s a lot of terrible crap on TV these days, but I just want to go on record to say that I’d rather sit through 1000 episodes of Phil Collins and Maroon5 doing soulless acoustic versions of every song I ever loved than watch a single second of the upcoming Netflix show about Man City doing the treble (small t, important).
