The schedule with that Julian Cope album is odd. As with most of his other albums, he released it through his website and the initial batch went in a couple of days. Yet, unlike 90% of his albums, this one is actually going out to distribution and there's a vinyl pressing. I wonder why? It's really good but no better or worse than the accompanying Robin Hood album which was website only and quietly allowed to go out of print...?

Really crap for new songs this week, but it's the time of year innit. I have very little visibility on what's hot and coming up for 2025, I need to dive in and see what's coming.
