Lovely stuff, and to nick a phrase from the vintners, that sentence has fabulous mouthfeel.

In the New Forest -

That's just what I wanted to listen to right now 👍

Dylan Moran said "Running a second-hand bookshop is a guaranteed commercial failure", and as a teenager I spent most Saturdays in Old Milton's version, the tall grey haired proprietor had the air of Christopher Lee as good Saruman, they were salad days.

Great interview Jon, thank you. First time I saw Rachael with them was on the Watusi tour in 2024, and I particularly remember the treatment she gave Click Click & Catwoman - a coruscating psychedelic experience, it was fantastic.

Really like the look of that, looking forward to a listen. Love rocket, they released Marlene Ribeiro's stunning solo album. I find chatting about music does wonders to balance my mental health so I'm already more buoyant than before, cheers DS 👍

Enjoyed that, very charming, very baroque, thank you. Unable to prevent myself from suggesting another not dissimilar French psych record from last year, if you haven't heard it. I love the 60s p bass tone. And I hope you're feeling better this week.

Could have been one of the whistle test new years? They were great.
