57 h. ago From getting kids to eat veg to curbing screen time: the parenting hacks that actually work

Tots refusing to brush their teeth? Teenagers ignoring your texts? Siblings squabbling – again? Readers and experts share their tried and tested fixes to parenting nightmaresSmart speakers are a great parenting crutch, whether it be for setting a timer (kids seem to be weirdly obedient to them) or asking Alexa for homework help when the kids put you on the spot. But reader Katie Matthews has hacked the parenting matrix. “I used to have to nag repeatedly to get the kids out of the house,” she says. “Now our Google speaker announces a five-minute warning before we need to leave. They know they have to do their last bits of faffing when they hear that warning. Then the speaker announces, ‘Shoes on, let’s go!’ when it’s time to leave. It really has transformed our mornings.” Continue reading...

3 w. ago Kieran Hebden and William Tyler: 41 Longfield Street Late ’80s review – Four Tet fries his formative country influences

(Eat Your Own Ears)Lyle Lovett meets brain-scouring distortion on the electronic musician’s surprisingly un-nostalgic collaboration with former Lambchop guitarist TylerIt may seem as if Four Tet’s Kieran Hebden is arriving late to the country music party but, rest assured, this is not a case of uncharacteristic bandwagon-jumping. For one, the roots of this collaboration with former Lambchop guitarist William Tyler date back to 2020; for two, the pair’s new album doubles as a paean to the 1980s Americana Hebden’s dad played round the house when he was a kid (the record is named after his childhood home in south-west London) – music that Tyler’s Nashville songwriter father was professionally involved in.Yet despite that neat backstory, the evocative title and the fact it begins with a reworking of country mainstay Lyle Lovett’s beautiful and sweetly bizarre 1987 track If I Had a Boat, 41 Longfield Street Late ‘80s is not an overtly nostalgic album, or a particularly coherent one.
