These almost fit together as intended, into one big scene. I think with a little more work I can do it.

It's alright for some people...

I'm not going to do these top five albums of 80-84 sorry. I just hate lists ranking music because I don't agree with them in the slightest.

Longpigs "I Lied I Love You" or Pete and the Pirates "Washing Powder"

Do you ever get any KEFs second hand?

John Bloor Printmaker @johnbloorprint.bsky.social · 1d

Why are people not humble?

John Bloor Printmaker @johnbloorprint.bsky.social · 1d

Definitely! We had them play our little festival a few years back.

John Bloor Printmaker @johnbloorprint.bsky.social · 1d

Made the mincemeat. Enough for 108 mince pies.

John Bloor Printmaker @johnbloorprint.bsky.social · 1d

Yeah they did a lot of great albums and then became quite bland.

John Bloor Printmaker @johnbloorprint.bsky.social · 1d

Such a great album! My favourite of Calexico.
