Great to see Wet Legplay a cracking set at yesterday’s Tramlines. They were the first band we saw at a festival post-COVID back in 2021 and it’s been amazing seeing them grow into a proper festival headliner. Tracks off Moisturiser sounding particularly strong.
The sound of landfill indie drifting over the rooftops; it must be that @tramlinesfestival.bsky.social time of year once again. #sheffield #tramlines

I meant to buy this in 1987, but funds were not available. Good to put that right 39 years later. It’s been a while since I bought an @alternativetent.bsky.social album, for shame. One for @matthsheff.bsky.social.
Second post of extraordinary music today; Lankum’s reworking of Ghost Town is a rare treat. It starts as you’d expect, then mutates into something akin to Koyaanisqatsi era Philip Glass, then turns into a disco banger. Essential. youtu.be/aLLnF4vxaeY?...

As I'm nice and there's some new stuff on the horizon, I've reduced the full discography on Bandcamp down 80% to just £20 for the next few days. So get 20 years(!) worth of stuff for £20. Bargain! worriedaboutsatan.bandcamp.com
