Sometimes archaeology is so dull. Data entry day as part of the Northampton deposit modelling project. On my second listen of this fine episode for my sanity!

Episode LXII is live as of yesterday evening! I have just recently gotten my vinyl and CD collections back from where they were stored for 6 months (thanks Crispo!!), an event that definitely makes itself felt in this episode. campsite.bio/firedrawnear X

Anyone who was lucky enough to see Andy the Doorbum at the Grand Social knows him as an 8-foot-tall Cthulhu-like demon of radical empathy, but here he is being a folksinger with @firedrawnear.bsky.social - he's the missing link between Woody Guthrie & Alice Cooper

As ever, fantastic show! I especially loved Cormac Begley & Liam O Connor's "Ryan's Rant" and Junior Brother's bloody brilliant "Welcome To My Mountain".

Thanks to @lglpalmer.bsky.social for this great review of the One Leg One Eye gig in the Cube Bristol last week! www.bristol247.com/culture/musi...

Review: One Leg One Eye, the Cube - 'Eerie and electrifying'
