Wow, thanks for this. Kiln are gods in my house, and I didn't even know this existed until now 🤘

Definitely the number one shoegaze act that fully deserved a decent revivial. Awesome comback live shows too 🚀

Really, David? I respect and love your opinions and recs, but this one? I find it over=hyped and, I hate to say it: boring. It sounds like a bunch of people had a laugh making something that is nowhere near as much fun to listen to.
Really, truly, why do you like it? (not bait, a genuine query)

Not complaining though, eh. Just saying that her grinning fyass ad infinitum down my bluesky feed is puke inducing. Keep up the good work, brother.

Tom, I sympathise with every damned penny you've lost, and I hope you claw every one of them out of Boundless' cold dead hands. Worst part of this for me though, is every time you post and re-post, I get this dead-eyed stare and smug shit grin all down my fucking feed. Makes me bawk!

Your dad must have been going bonkers. Longest mine has disappeared for is 3 days, and I didn't sleep for any of it!

But then this puts the value of the car itself at a higher point than the value of the symbolism of the action and its image. I'll go with the latter as the most valuable, personally. 🤘

That's a great album to start, and if you've never heard them, you have a brilliant backwards voyage of discovery ahead of you! Enjoy. Unwound = true legends round my way 👊

I'm only up to chapter 5 myself (ghost artists), and I'm with you - bleak, and as eye-opening as it is also totally unsurprising. Trying to get all of my still-using-Spotify chums to read it now...

Hi Tom, I'd love one; but while we're at it I'll take a hardback copy of 1983 off your hands too, to make it more worthwhile. Just....how are we paying you? I don't have / use PayPal, so I hope that's not a blocker!

No one mentioned communism, until you did. The other poster mentioned free homes as an analogy, not as a literal life goal. You get that much?
