Antony Szmierek - Service Station at the End of the Universe.

One of the best things about this time of year is all the best of lists and discovering music that completely passed you by. No idea how I missed the hype on this. It’s fantastic.

Just took my daughter to a guitar lesson and another little girl asked me about my t shirt. Poor thing was probably not prepared for an impromptu 5 minute mini TED talk on the importance of this band and life as a kid growing up in eighties Britain.

They may as well stay in Perth and play the second test straight after. It’ll be done by Tuesday. #ashes

From tears as calls for their fallen brother go unanswered, through to gratitude, hope and happiness - this record knocked me about all over the place as all good art should!

Thanks Dave. Thanks @wearedelasoul.com

@thebetaband.com are coming to Brisbane and I have just about wet myself with excitement and the fact that my bladder is a lot weaker since I last saw them nearly 25 years ago.

My old man would have been 81 today. I recall a conversation we had when I was a kid and spent all my pocket money on records and cassettes. Something like… “Do you think you’ll always collect music?” “Probably, Dad.” “That’s great. I wish I had when I was young.”

One for you, Dad 🤟

@dailymail.co.uk “journalist” uses “they/them” pronouns by the looks of it. Did not see that coming but good for them.

The first time I played this, I came away feeling a bit dazed and confused. The second time - even more so. Reason enough to add to cart. 👍
