Listened to The Tubs on Thursday, it was gorgeous. Thanks for the rec!

- Totally confirmed my love for BPM.
- Panic Shack are charmingly punky and gloriously Welsh.

I'm on call until 31/12. We are heroes / very silly.

I am very guilty to say I'd not even heard of the Iconocasts album until a couple of weeks ago.

I'll give it a whirl this weekend!

I am quite surprised at the number of people going full-on for Geese in end of year lists. I didn't realise until this weekend they were in their mid-twenties! I just don't think it's something that's AMAZING.

I loved the last Ethel Cain album, I've just not listened to the one from this year. 💀

And we are the ones who have created the situation where they have neither.

I agree, but then you're also back into my logic of (a) actually needing to spend the amount of money that we used to spend on news as individuals/society, and (b) stop demanding and reacting to it on a minute-by-minute basis.

We need news staff who are paid well, and have the time to do their job.
