After a shocking week of exhaustion I treated myself to something in the Resident sale. Mostly so I can get down to Brighton when it’s ready to pick up and see some friends.

I finished this recently (my to read pile is stupidly tall) and it was so moving while also using humour to engage with difficult subjects like loss. The characters weren’t just believable, they felt like old friends from the get-go. A free copy is a ridiculously good offer.
Author wrote best book he's ever written.
Publisher disintegrated/fucked off with author's earnings.
Book was finally published by new publisher.
Author has bought two hardbacks, for full price, to give away, signed.
Please repost/reply if you'd like a chance to win one..

Wow!! Doesn’t time fly?!
It’s soon to be the 18-year anniversary of the first time that we ever played with our pals, the Felt Tips.
The year was 2007 and indiepop was all the rage.

Was splendid. Actually, it was fucking brilliant. Very much looking forward to the gig in Glasgow on 22nd with The Just Joans in support.
Me and the other Felt Tips had such a great night on Saturday at The Betsey Trotwood in London. Thanks to @indiepophalloffame.bsky.social for the photos and to everyone for coming to see us celebrate the reissue of our debut album on @unspunheroes.com
A couple more photos from The Felt Tips last night - tagging @patsbus.bsky.social which I neglected to do yesterday. Take a bow one and all 👏👏 @unspunheroes.com

Home now. New medication, the side effects of which do not make for easy reading.
Anyway, enough of my personal health battles, it's dull. I'll post music stuff from now on. Need a cuppa first.
