I saw 1100 springs in Texas must be 10 years ago now at the worlds largest honky tonk. Only average at the time it has to be said.

I'm completely in love with that Dylan LeBlanc record. Traces of 'Heartbreaker', Fleet Foxes and Ray LaMontagne. Absolutely stunning. Speaking of which, the new Ray LaMontagne album is also a great return to form

Expecting to Fly - Bluetones.

I was feeling nostalgic after going through some old diaries and might treat everyone in work to a Britpop day today.
