pic is from 9 years ago, but the strap is the same. Badges are Big Star and the trans pride flag (the former survives on the strap, but the latter fell apart a few years ago and remains unreplaced)

I’m ill rn, so I guess it’s appropriate that my preorder of the new The Illness album (ft. @davidpajo.bsky.social on a couple of tracks) came in the post yesterday. I’ve already spun it four times, so consider that a recommendation and support my talented friends*:

One of the great underground rock & roll albums of the 21st century (recorded by Steve Albini, ofc).

Not available on streaming services, soz.

Thanks @timmidyett.bsky.social for bringing attention to the Spare Snare LP the other week. Incidentally, I think they’re having a 50% off sale on Bandcamp today.
