I had a much appreciated visit from @jacklondonexile.bsky.social at the weekend, a fantastic afternoon crate digging in Chester followed by pizza and beers and more music into the small hours, I’m still recovering 😂

#np I was going for Traffic then decided on this. Mind you, over half the tracks are co-written with Capaldi and Rebop appears on few.

"It started as a shit idea" to strengthen the local community. This is "cowpat lotto", as invented and played in northern France, near Azincourt (*the* Azincourt) where three lucky winners share the loot if their cow (goats also accepted) drop their load on their selected square.

Andy Partridge - Fuzzy Warbles This is an incredible catalogue of work, some excellent songs that never made it on to an XTC album as well as some demos of songs that did. Considering it’s Andy virtually alone the production is amazing. There’s about 150 tracks here some quite humorous 🙂
