A statement regarding Unbound/Boundless.
Ha perfect!

There's a bunch of records I went right off of for a while but I've gradually found my way back to them.

Looking forward to his 5 night residency at Cafe Oto with Steve Beresford and Evan Parker
I would jam with this little horse.

It was a really important record for me and like many of the best ones I fucking hated it for the first handful of listens.

No pressure but if you don't buy one of my Valentine cards it's clear to me you don't love your partner. marswasrubbish.etsy.com/uk/listing/4...

For local friends ( #Devon, #Dartmoor, #WestCountry UK), Chagford's annual Wassail takes place on Saturday. It's a free, folkloric, family-friendly event and all are welcome.

The beautiful art on the poster is by @matpringle.bsky.social.

I had that one and it never quite landed for me so I sold it. I suspect it was one - of many - mistakes I’ve made in this cursed life.

The one I’m holding is well worth having a listen to. O’Rourke makes Tweedy much more palatable/less dull.

So good! Van Heflin is such a complex character.

Ha I’ve got the Ride Lonesome Blu-ray lined up!

True. I guess Gregory Peck is likely to bring a quiet dignity and respectability to any character he plays so maybe that’s on him.

I’m pleased you have the Big Country in there! I know Rick is a little indifferent to its charms.

Ooh I think that version is on the DVD I bought. Excellent, thanks!

I watched 'My Darling Clementine' last week and my favourite bit was Henry Fonda idling on the boardwalk, leaning back on a chair, switching his weight between feet on a wooden post. A brief moment of absent-minded play before the inevitable show down.

I saw them play at Smugglers Festival last year on a small stage in a woodland setting and it was just beautiful. I cried quite a lot.
