I thought it was an album until I saw you vote for a different I Like Trains debut album. Oh well.

Progress Reform is one of my favourite 2006 releases. Cracker

Fab EP and epic exit. Love it

🤣 name of my football prediction team thing this season is something like The Sixth Extinction is being Televised.

Not sure my league friends have any interest in Red Sparowes or Gil Scott Heron. But the length of my team name is easy to spot in a 60 team league.

Maybe they read the book.
