Saved the best till last...

Doing well in League Two this week...

Use bandcamp a lot and but at gigs (but Pains said they won't be bringing merch), but also Lafeltrinelli.it and amazon.it even

Thanks. I saw only on bandcamp, but the postage over to Milan is a killer. I'll keep looking. At least I can find Perfect Right Now over here easily enough and have preordered, so cheers for that!

CD? Really, link?

I'd heard from someone who went to Rockaway that they were a highlight. Still, no gonna allow headlocks...

Mine...

@mikaelqbt.bsky.social thoughts?

My New Years Resolution is to listen to more @merex.bsky.social this year. This will entail either the extension of time, or additional ear implants. Either way, can't wait...

oh, here is the playlist of my 11 choices

This was fun, thanks @indieover40.bsky.social

League 2

@clivestringer.bsky.social grows his advantage at the top to 24 points.

@geebeeman.bsky.social is up to 2nd closely followed by @elhozzo.bsky.social and @stevyk73.bsky.social who has dropped 2 places. Will be tight for 2nd with @darrenmjones.bsky.social nipping at their heels.
