I don’t know how many lists would feature both The Pastels and Motörhead but personally I see no contradiction.

Thanks to @gmessy.bsky.social for the heads up on the documentary. In 2008, my friend gave me a cassette of two Vic Chesnutt albums, not long before my friend took his own life. Here’s to Mark, Vic & my dearly missed friend S. 🖤💔
