Be careful out there. I had this obvious scam in my request folder here. They pretend they are from Bluesky and want to ban your account and give you a link to click. I have reported it, blocked and deleted the chat but I just wanted to put the warning out there!

Although the album came out in 1994, this song was a single the year after. That album was one I listened to loads when I was away at uni.
