I like how the artwork for this Oh Lord Ashcroft LP shows people literally walking towards certain death in the sea when faced with the prospect of staying on the beach with himself and his acoustic.

Saw them on the Red Wedge tour.

It’s a depressing thought, but I believe Three Headless Thatchers would do alarmingly well in the polls.

I just saw someone use the abbreviation “AI;DR” and I’ll be laughing for a while.

Well, yes.

Quite often life reminds you that Nigel Blackwell narrates British life better than anyone. This news story appears to be constructed entirely from Half Man Half Biscuit references.

Also: none of the above was planned.

I spent my 20s and early 30s having a good time. I had a family and got a PhD in my mid-late 30s. I was an academic during my 40s. I’m doing something different now. You’ve got plenty of time to do good stuff and also (just as important) loads of stupid shit.

Lovely stuff Danny. Congrats.

Walking football at times today. 3 points in 2nd gear. Bogarde was excellent, two excellent finishes from Malen. Up the Villa! #avfc

That’s enough Tay Tay for now lads. Thanks.

Lovely stuff at The Bridge. #thefootball

Cole Palmer always looks like his mum is late picking him up from school

Slade are bloody great, innit.

That’s it. That’s all I wanted to say.

You could always order several hundred. You then have the 'going into unrecoubable debt' experience of a major label artist.

The Rat EP, by Independent Country 3 track album

We have a new EP out in a few weeks. Pre-order now, and get our version of Electric Six's 'Danger! High Voltage' as an immediate download, which sees us rip off Patsy Cline AND Slade in the same song.

Fill yer boots, bab.

And - given I assume these are lazer printed acetates (?) - I’m not sure how well a record will perform after repeated plays, but to have vinyl in stock for basically ~£22 a unit and zero faff is quite something.

Be interesting to see if quality/lead times change once this takes off, because I can see it becoming v popular with DIY/small acts. It’s the best (very) short order service I’ve found so far.

Elastic Stage is the service. Packaging is amazing quality. Vinyl is decent. Runs *a touch* fast to my ears, but is otherwise very good. We’ll use it to have ~5-10 on hand to sell at shows, and sell to order online. Very impressed so far. Lead time is about 3 weeks.

Not only that but…

Nice to be back in Rotterdam

No Martinez, Mings, Garcia, Onama, Tielemans, Barkley, Sancho tonight. Elliot only had 5 mins. #avfc

Never happened ever.

Cracking game. Lucky to be level but slowly, slowly we’re cranking into gear this season. #avfc

Tried out a new on-demand vinyl pressing service for some @theindiecountry.bsky.social back catalogue items. Records are made to order and shipped, retailing at £27.50. Minimum order is 1 (one!)

A copy arrived today and it’s waaaay better than I expected it to be.

Witchcraft.
