With what a revelation it's been finally making a point to listen to Manic Street Preachers and quite enjoying them, I've decided to make a point over the coming months/year to finally check out a bunch of other well-loved bands I've been tangentially aware of for years but never really given much time.

Happy New Year, y'all!

Thanks for making this place a source of more holiday joy than I've felt in many years. Y'all grew my Grinch heart a bit and your excitement was palpable. You're a pretty special lot and I'm grateful to have found you.

Here's to some great spins throughout this next spin! All the best to you and yours.

If my shortlist goes unchanged over the next couple/few days then 3 of my top 4 albums of the year were gifted to me -- 1 by my wife and 2 by members of this forum! -- the other album has not (yet) been pressed on vinyl.

Happy Thanksgiving all my neighbours to the south.
May your day be full of gratitude and food (and football, if that's your jam.)

The 4-year-old's chosen soundtrack for the drive back to Mom's this week was Gillian Welch's Time (The Revelator) and Slayer's Seasons in the Abyss. Makes me feel like I've done something right!
