Pretty proud of this one!

Top man!

Ridiculously it took one year from our Hidden Waters vinyl campaign finishing to us finally having the final vinyl, but we did it, and we do have a few spare vinyl copies, so if you want one... For fans of melodic/weird/nostalgic Brazilian/global/indie

This one took a lot of work to put together, but pretty proud of it, we managed to fit in a lot of interesting artists and stories. And it introduced me to Chief Adjuah, what a guy!

This keeps making me laugh

Even this guy's apology is completely tone deaf. What other business is there which applauds the fact that they're paying the people who create their content "zero"?

Mike & The Mechanics, still flying the flag for contemporary music

Just about got over having to put a £50 Aldi Stores UK turkey in the bin on Xmas Day. Was supposed to be Best Before 26th but opened it Xmas morning and smelt disgusting. Only destination was the bin!
