Welcome to the Daniel McGrail zone
Here’s where I’ll post things from now on. I suggest you make your own website to do the same.

November McGrail
Can you imagine still posting ‘dumps’ at the end of every month? LOL, what a poser. Here is my comprehensive digest instead: This month, I have been mostly eating doner meat, and feeling the nights get colder and earlier. Music discoveries: Mom Jeans I’ve been giving Mom Jeans another chance after shying away from their…

BEST GIG EVER: 2hollis with Jack, Zack and Oscar
Ok, even though this wasn’t the best gig ever, I have to make it clear that I am not a 2hollis hater unlike Oscar and Jack! There really is room for hyperpop? in my listening. I had never heard of 2hollis before, but there was a cheap ticket going spare and it had been yonks…

Soft Cell: killer or filler?
Me and Jack had a big argument about one of my favourite albums ‘Non-stop erotic cabaret’ by Soft Cell. You know, Tainted love. It happened because we have a big group chat where we rank albums against each other. I’m not that up to date with it usually, but I opened and saw this: We’re…

Collecting things
I think it’s a good idea to collect things. We all have collections; clothes, photos, apps, games, devices, but I’m talking about collecting, the act of keeping things that serve no utility like stickers, posters, comics, postcards, buttons, badges, lamps, literally anything. Even records count in my opinion, because today they serve no purpose at…

Shortumns
Winter is nigh… I think I have just had my last chance to wear shorts due to the stupendously low temperatures. Goodbye, ‘shortumns’. (shorts in autumn). Let me know if any of you have tried shortumns though, as it has been pretty fun so far. How the hell is it 18th November already? #takemebacktosummer

Maccie D Marco ft. Stealing Sheep?
On Saturday I saw Mac DeMarco at Aviva Studios in Manchester. It was a great episode! His set was absolutely amazing, the sound was crisp, and I didn’t wear ear plugs. I enjoyed everything they played, even the new stuff I was unfamiliar with. Mac is an amazing person to watch live, and his voice…

Sheffield Big Band
On Wednesday I went with Dominic (my brother) to see his flatmate James in the Sheffield Univerity Big Band. I can’t remember ever seeing a live Jazz Swing/Swing Jazz? band in my life before, so this was a new experience. It was packed: a nice restaurant Cubana at Leopold Square made for the perfect atmosphere.…

I hate apps
I want this website to be positive, but I don’t think apps are a necessary part of life, man. 99% of all apps (I’ve made up this figure) are just websites that run independently on your phone so that it’s harder to leave them. Instagram is a great example, I have been trying to take…

New (pizza) beginnings
My first shift at Proove mobile pizza today. Things went very smoothly. This was just a one off thing, but who knows what the future could hold. Here is a detailed guide if you’d like to copy my day. This was the vibe:
