Fill your ears

Reading time: 4 mins I picked up some new albums recently, and I’ll pause here to echo a comment I heard on the radio the other night as I can’t remember what the inside of a record store looks like, especially now I don’t work in the city centre and no longer have the evil geniuses at FOPP fleecing […]

I'm like a bird

Reading time: 3 mins But no, I’m not going to fly away… instead a quick update and a couple of questions.
