Hyperverse has no tracks and the Nihilist is gone. Maybe he pulled them.

Anyway, it’s a good excuse to post a picture of Dusty ❀️

Thank you to everyone for your support and kind comments! Tin Soldiers, my debut novel is finally out! Launch day wasn't without its traumas and hiccups of course, but it is a moment I won't forget. Now to become a publicist! Any advice welcome!

album and the other from someone coming at it brand new. We aren’t giving each other any opinions beforehand so it’ll be recorded totally as an unbiased chat.

Nic has picked the album for episode 3 and Jamie is hearing it as we speak for the first time so we’ll find out if he likes it very soon!!
