Absolutely brilliant – thank you. My personal tutor in 2007/8. (I don't recall studying any of these stories on his short story module. 😆)

Stay strong (/rest and recuperate)! Glad to hear that you will be home soon. Hope you have continued to have a productive time creatively speaking while you've been away.

Just brilliant, isn't it? An incredible closing song. How could you possibly follow it? There's only one song I would allow to follow it - from an album whose cover appears to be a very strong tribute to one of yours.

Choose 20 albums that have stayed with you or influenced you. One album per day for 20 days, in no particular order. No explanations, no reviews, just covers.
Yes, I know, I broke those rules. So, for the final one, obeying them. Just covers. 😉

Twenty albums that have influenced me. I mean, in a way, this didn’t influence me, because it didn’t serve as a gateway to other punk bands. But that in itself is an influence, right? That’s my logic for this superb album.

As a companion to the above, another album that influenced me to get the entire back catalogue of albums as quickly as possible. Being a huge fan of the festival, if I'd known about the song 'Knee Deep at ATP', I would’ve been a fan from the start (and seen them live many more times, grr!).

Twenty albums that have influenced me. Halfway there. This album, which I got for Christmas (I'm thinking in 1996, after I saw them at Phoenix Festival), influenced me to get every Cocteaus album as quickly as I could.

Twenty albums that have influenced me. Leaving my formative years for the first time. Ignoring the 'covers only' rule, because I feel like a robot just copying and pasting.
Remember buying this in HMV in the Trafford Centre.
Sorry. So dull. I should've stuck to the 'covers only' rule.
