Amazing stuff, don't know how many different nominations there were but that's a lot of counting. All five of my pics through to the next round so looking forward to seeing them up against new competitors from different eras

My shopping list for tomorrow: slippers and the new Brian Eno book. There's a Venn diagram in that somewhere

Damn, the thing about catching up with other people's lists is realising all the albums you forgot about. In this instance, the fabulous Charlotte Hatherley album

It's music business day! I mean Bandcamp Friday! Where your favourite musicians tell you about their wares, & I have compiled a special release of every track from 'A Year of Lore - Series 1' So you can listen in a whole evening! 12 EPs = 39 tracks. ❤️ Laura brawlrecords.bandcamp.com/album/a-year...
