Programme for Rush Permanent Waves tour
While tidying up/looking for something that I had lost, I came across this tour programme that @tranquilityfire.bsky.social might be interested in. My first concert as a 15 year old was Rush at the Glasgow Apollo in April 1979. I also have one from the Permanent tour the following year.

Came home last night to a new album from Marc and the Mambas. Recorded live over 3 nights in London in 1983, this version is on red vinyl from Cold Spring Records.
Pictured here with the studio albums from 1982 & 1983. I still love them 40 years later - they call to the sad, lonely teenager in me.
Another piece of my youth has faded away. #Ozzy

Excited to receive the latest collaboration between @jolandamoletta.bsky.social and @karenvogtmusic.bsky.social on @quietdetails.bsky.social. Sea-swallowed Wands is a beautiful, ambient vocal album from two artists with back catalogues worth exploring further.

19.05.2025 08:53 โ ๐ 3 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Simple answer is no. Use the channels you have. If I subscribe to the label on Bandcamp then I expect communications via Bandcamp. I know a number of labels use Discord - I am out at that point as I don't need another thing to check or to overwhelm me with messages.
