The decline of....is the only one I own after your recommendation, very interesting live act...

Have you seen them live on your travels mate, they sound good live ?

Saw them live early in their existence at Reading, didn't finish the set though and didn't really stand out

Yes mate, saw them at a small festival last year, they were good, the shenanigans on and off stage, ie a 9ft polar bear walking through the audience adds a different dimension.

New album due from Calvi in the next few weeks

A pity her songs (jokers) received few votes in the Mega Song Contest, I suppose we are the only two on here who appreciate her albums, shame because Anna is a real talent

Something from Doctor Wind by Dub Garden ...maybe this one

Apart from minimal chart success in the States, Babe Ruth struggled to gain popularity in the UK

Some nice little tunes here



This song is a journey well worth taking. It's a pity so few do
