Sometimes I'm a jammy fucker. Managed to lose my phone on a 1 min walk/30 sec sprint to the tram in Edinburgh. Only discovered this on tram so had to get off at first stop and go back.
10 minutes of sheer terror since it wasn't at station or on path but someone had handed it in to reception.

If you're interested in original post-punk, hints of Wire, the Three Johns and Flying Nun, yet sounding not quite like any of that, it's available via Bandcamp now

Don't imagine my picks for #5debutalbums1014 will make much impact.
This one by four ex-Petrols really should have made a splash but somehow fell between the cracks.
It's still worthy of investigation although only through Bandcamp.
