To be fair you gave me a nice collection of ‘liked this but ran out of points’ comments - as if that helped!

Such a great cover, loved both songs on this single - saw them at Trent Poly on tour around this time, so good.

Outrageous- I won’t miss either of you then!

Not sure my failure to submit in week 10 was material, so I kept my 100% relegation record! May see @ineeddirection.bsky.social the season after next then! Unless there is a League 6 by then… hope everyone has a great New Year!

No rush to do our league!

Played that Pinkunoizu to death when it came out, need to dig it out again!

Thank you #vinylsanta and @vinylsanta.bsky.social - particularly enamoured with the Love and Money, of course love Perfect Skin, never knowingly heard a Boz Skaggs song in my life, so time to address that - but maybe I should start with WFFrame singing ‘It’s a braw bright moonlight nicht’!

Shall we start our own random bonus points league, I feel I might do better I that one!

And what about choosing (surely) the oldest participant - Mavis Staples at 86 (covering Sparklehorse) - nearly won it too!

Yes I saw that, Nottingham date sold out before I got my act together!

Always the Light is up there with Almost Prayed for me. Such an uplifting song.

Keep thinking I’ve miscounted! Anyone tempted by this…

Ooh, controversial! I’d probably go for Talk Talk Talk or Forever Now, however I did buy the single of Heaven on the day I started going out with my wife, so definitely got a soft spot for this one too! Please don’t tell me how long ago that was…

I have done my #vinylsanta duties - courtesy again of the @oxfamgb.bsky.social shop in West Bridgford. To be honest I was in two minds about keeping at least one of them! Thanks as ever to @vinylsanta.bsky.social for sorting. Roll on Christmas Eve!

I thought The Chills would guarantee me a solid mid table score…!

Nada Surf live just make you feel all is well for the best part of 2 hours (especially when you are in Milan too!). This was the final acoustic encore last night.

If that’s for me, can I put in for a transfer ;)

Where did you see Spectrum? I saw them in Derby at The Wherehouse - I was watching them with Pat Fish (The Jazz Butcher) who I’m sure you know helped them right from the start, who joined them in sax for a few songs.

And whoops, yes Trent Poly (as was)! One memory is them all coming on stage to set up and no-one realising it was them!
