It's @bandcamp.com Friday... apparently

Another month has passed in the blink of an eye but the Leaf treasure keeps flowing. Is there no end? Apparently not!

That's your lot. If there's nothing there to excite, we can't help you.

You'll also find @snappedankles.bsky.social, @cravenfaults.bsky.social and Decius on tour before the year is out. Snapped Ankles are selling out various venues on their run and Decius are about the sell out the Scala in London! Not bad. Not bad at all.

There are still some Form/Fade (The Basement Tapes) cassettes available on Sick Man's Bandcamp if you can't make any of the shows, but they're moving fast.

Don't just take our word for it. @godisinthetvzine.bsky.social also had a nice time: www.godisinthetvzine.co.uk/2025/10/02/l...

“a kind of kosmische Scott Walker” is going on all future press releases

LIVE: The Sick Man Of Europe – The Attic, Leeds, 01/10/2025 - God Is In The TV

It is a mighty long way from the Ottoman Empire of the early 20th century to the present-day city of Leeds. But there is a line connecting both of these times

We saw @thesickmanofeurope.bsky.social with our own eyes in Leeds this week. Word is spreading and miserable dancing ensued. TSMOE are in Glasgow tonight before heading to Newcastle with their first EU dates shortly afterwards.

HEY! It's the 20th anniversary of the release of Murcof's Remembranza. Big and also huge!

There are some copies of the Bandcamp exclusive 'Correos Red' pressing of the album available, at a special price for Bandcamp Friday.

I'll drink to that.

We have no idea why we received a test pressing on splatter vinyl because that's not something that ever happens. Still... bit of fun eh? Noteworthy even. You should buy it.

The treasure is mostly test pressings, but who doesn't want to own a piece of quality control history?
