First heard this track on a Darla Records compilation that Saloon were also on, back in 2002(?). Nice to finally be able to play it!

Really enjoyed watching him beavering away in Logic, tweaking the stock reverb plug ins.

I'm hoping that's to see a fully-reformed Beatles.

Was it Mitch Hedberg that said, "I don't wear a watch because I don't want one arm heavier than the other"?

That one is truly stuck in my head.

New single from the mothership out today. Really proud of this one - felt like a really decent thing right from when those chords (in open G, nerds) were very first strummed.

A little love letter to all our favourite indie pop. Sing it to your shy friends.

I keep seeing people on TV saying very earnestly that you can't stop kids using AI because they will miss out key skills and that knowing how to use this tech is going to be the cornerstone of their working lives. What a load of absolute bollocks. I hate it.

Sadly, the shoegaze bus crashed because the driver... well, you get the joke.

(The school I went to was actually in Oxfordshire, so there might have been a sneaky Swerver or two there without my knowledge.)

Genuinely, if you live in the UK you should so the consultation just to find out some of the unbelievable details of what's being proposed. Even with their spin and obfuscation it's shocking

A parody of Wes Streeting's Guardian article with the headline changed to "Ignore the smears: I was never a close friend of Dick Dastardly. And I never wanted to stop the pigeon - Wes Muttley"
"I knew him but not well, and worry now that he thrived in the Vulture Squadron. It was not just failed vetting: there was a failure of moral seriousness."
