Strangely I didn't see them at all until years later with a solo Roddy tour.

Yes, Cartridge World. You need to take out a mortgage to buy direct from the printer company 🤣

Live rendition of 'Seat' from free EP 'Shoulda' (blokeacola.bandcamp.com). Acoustic guitars can be dangerous. Always wear a helmet:

Oh I loved that too. Also loved the 1992 EP the Pastels did with Jad Fair for This Could Be The Night. Much lovelier than Jad's solo version ❤️

I never read the manual. I just press buttons and hope for the best.
And the walking is ace! 8-)

Such a good cover. I prefer it infinitely to Linda Ronstadt's version or Mike Nesmith's original.

I buy printer ink in sets, so how come I always have so much magenta left. Why doesn't it use all 3 colours at the same rate?
Think I need to print the Loveless cover out more...

There's a kind of bleak hope in the "I'll take you in my two weak hands and I'll throw you so high". A heart-stopping beauty of a song.

Western Sky

Similar to Last Harbor, hard for me to separate. The end of California is devastatingly beautiful.

Maybe an homage to Nick Drake's Northern Sky? Eitzel has less hope here and compares to the dying sun.
