The Hoddle of Coffee: Tottenham Hotspur news and links for Friday, December 23

good morning good morning! Wishing you all safe travels this holiday weekend. Fitzie himself is supposed to be travelling from Washington (technically Virginia, but aren’t we past this?), but the weather may force him to sit still for now. We will see.

This is our last hoddle before Christmas. Can you believe that? It feels like just a few months ago that fitzie wasn’t a hoddler-in-chief.

But here we are, eh?

And we’ve listened to some wonderful music this year. Oh, how I do love it so!

In fact - that is my gift to you all.

I’ve created a Spotify playlist featuring ALL of the tracks of the day! Well, I think this is all of them. Even the Christmas tunes are included!

People who dislike Haim or jazz may wanna steer clear of it ...

Some stats on this playlist for you:

• Total songs: 221
• Listening time: 16 hours, 48 minutes
• Haim, Charles Mingus, Wet Leg and Tom Petty seem to be featured the most
• Longest song: Upper Egypt & Lower Egypt by Pharaoh Sanders (16:16)
• Shortest song: Not Fade Away by Rolling Stones (1:48)

Now you can take the track of the day with you wherever you go!

Sincerest Regards,

fitzie

Safe travels and a happiest holiday!
