Having a Suede singles day, these 4 singles are all outstanding - a side, b sides and sleeve artwork all amazing

Wow, didn't realise it was that many!

Enjoy the Amsterdam gigs Veerle! I've never been to a gig in Amsterdam, I must go sometime. Flights every day from Cork so I have no excuse!

I love the second record as well, The Package was an unbelievable opener!

For some reason I've always struggled slightly with this one, but I absolutely love Tigermilk. Was really tempted by the Dublin dates but they are both sold out!

We should shoot them into the sun, if we put them in the sea they might get out 😂

He seems like a really decent guy, but his music is just 🤮🤮. I swear some of these guys have sold their souls to the devil for music success, doesn't seem to be any other plausible explanation for why this mediocre music is so popular! See also Ed Sheeran!

Happy birthday Alex, two absolute classics there!

Find The River

Hugely emotional song with some of the best lyrics I've ever heard, it's been my number one since practically the first time I heard it. Thanks to @tansleyjames.bsky.social for a really great challenge
