I would love to get some label interested in giving this album a home

Been hard going but this really is a super heavy kosmische record. We are very proud of it

Thanks once again to @vinylsanta.bsky.social for organising again this year. Unfortunately the stereo has been compromised somewhat this year but some excellent listening to be done in the New Year #vinylsanta

Time to clarify something. When authors say β€œUnbound haven’t paid me” that makes it sound like Unbound had some money, which they used to buy authors’ writing.

Unbound had no money. The authors did: we had raised that money. They were holding it in trust.

Unbound stole our money.

Nice piece about Spurs cup win, the last two paragraphs are pretty much how I feel.

Last Ride is a distillation of the surreal beauty of the Western sprawl. The record exists in some intangible haze; a bakelight bridge to the past that reverberates in the V-hold flicker of home videos from forgotten desert expanses. bit.ly/44Mw2ru
