It's not a foolproof plan but every political debate from now on should be a Normal Guy competition. Ask them to describe grocery shopping in detail. Talk about what it's like to have a friend
Mega pleased to have made a 2-colour screenprint for Pile's UK/IE shows starting next week. Their latest record ‘Sunshine and Balance Beams’ has been in constant rotation since it came out this summer and is 100% up there for my album of the year. cc. @pile.bsky.social /@sooperrecords.bsky.social
Getting @pile.bsky.social as the opener for Mclusky is a real “dreams do come true” bill
