@arratoon I'll get to it! *looks at book pile* At some point. 😆
@arratoon I haven't but I should as I've been listening to them and seeing them live for over 15 years!

Oh, it's World Day For Glaciers!

Here's an appropriate song from the mighty Sea Power (British Sea Power as they were when they recorded it).

@julianlawson I am! Also excited for The Beths! And Charlotte Church, The New Eves, Sprints, Jessica Winter, Haley Heynderickx, Anna Calvi, Sparks, Flock Of Dimes, Tricky, Panic Shack, Cat Power, Tamikrest, and a whole heap more! They've really knocked it out of the park this year!
@nigenet Yeah. Really hoping they get a shuttle service together. If enough of us contact them they might. It would be a major step backwards if they don't.

Think @nic will like that one. 😉
