I think I may have a new all-time favourite Guided by Voices album. This new one is utterly exceptional.

In 2023, Rhino issued a vinyl-only test pressing version of Todd Rundgren's Runt LP. It featured the songs Baby Let's Swing, The Last Thing You Said and Don't Tie My Hands in full (they were later edited into a medley). Two years on and I've still not heard these complete tracks. Can anyone help?

The heating is on. It hasn't broken down yet. Hey, maybe it won't.
Mouse seems to be doing OK.
The dental hygienist was less upsetting than usual.
I did have to spend a chunk of money on all this, but that's to be expected.
Carry on.
