Episode 3 of my endlessly droning on about cricket is now up. I talk about stuff from recent days. Next week you'll be able to hear the pain in my voice as I discuss a return to the cricket field. Fun for all the family!

This deep dive on bands I have no idea about was fabulous and fantastic. I feel a little smarter today as a result. Perhaps that isn't difficult.
I love this series. So much to experience. I feel heavier, but that could just be the beer I drank...

1. Only black band shirts to be worn to gigs. No other colours.
2. Can't wear shirt of band you are seeing to a gig.
3. All vinyl/cd collections must be in alphabetical order per artist name, and then in chronological release of that artist.

I can hear you both screaming from here! 😄

Another thoroughly enjoyable discussion from this riveting podcast. @americanheadbanger.bsky.social riffs @mozsab.bsky.social pivots, and emotion over bands being seen ensue.
Great points made on albums vs playlists, and metal rules! Looking forward to the next ep.
