It’s that time again. Wreckless Eric and Amy Rigby are headed for the USA. They’ll be carrying copies of their brand new “Two-Way Family Favourites” album. A collection of songs by other artists turned out in the couple’s inimitable style. This will not be available in stores although I’m sure that if you run such a thing then something could be arranged. Sadly you won’t be able to pick it up with your groceries as far as I know. I’m perfectly aware that the world would be an entirely better place if you could. So please, make a date in your diary and go to the nearest show. You don’t get an opporchancity like this every day.

RIP - Tom O'Grady

Very sorry to hear about this. I was introduced to Tom a year ago past the recent Record Store Day by Duglas Bandit and was immediately struck by his passion for music. And it turned out that we had a whole bunch of mutual friends and acquaintances. So we spent the best part of an afternoon banging on about this and that. You know, the kind of instances that remove you from the day to day bullshit and that makes everything worthwhile. It's always a trip to meet a like-minded traveller. My condolences to his family and friends.
