Treasured vinyl: My two vinyl copies of The Pixies' Surfer Rosa. I used to work for The Cartel, part of the Rough Trade Distribution network, that distributed 4AD here in the UK, and often got sent test pressings. The other copy is signed by Kim Deal.

I am unbelievably chuffed that the Scottish Men's team, alongside England are qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup. Since childhood I have always loved a World Cup. My childish excitement however is being tempered by what that means in terms of matches being hosted on US soil. With the Trump administration increasingly flouting international law, issuing hostile military threats against the sovereign territory of our close European and NATO ally, Denmark, his increasingly authoritarian and...

I think everyone should be boycotting USA owned social media, and, furthermore, should be treating the USA like we treated apartheid South Africa. That's how I ended up here. This makes me feel like I made the right decision.
