"In reality, I’m probably just going to listen to The Gun Club’s Miami on repeat until the first release day in January. "

Same, but New Order Technique.

I lied, Kevin, it's actually going to be the Manics' Holy Bible... because why would I start listening to old music that's new to me? I need to listen to records I already know by heart.

An incredible choice for a new music detox!

Thanks for the Miami push. It’s been too long for a record that was so important to me as a mid 80’s teenager in far away Brisbane town

Thanks for all you do, Gabbie! Enjoy your time off and don’t worry about us - you’ve set us up with so much good listening with everything you’ve put out already! Loved the podcast interview.

Also I have tickets to three - THREE!! - shows in the next several months (they’re all at least 3 hours away - the joys of rural life) and this Herculean effort by a true introvert is no doubt thanks to your efforts to reinvigorate my musical imagination!

this is amazing! I need to get out to more shows myself. I'm terrible at it and don't have many people who want to join me. I'll have to make a concerted effort in '25!

It's Summer in Australia, so I'm still in my summer jamz era and listening to the new Father John Misty album. Maybe our graph looks the opposite in the southern hemisphere?

I know what you mean about Miami! Fantastic album by an ace band! Cool page you've got here too:) Anyhow I thought you might like a listen to this new album by Newcastle uk band SKULL ISLAND SIDECARS. Any feedback would be much appreciated. Thanks:)
