Just dug this out of my collection on vinyl, bit of a hidden gem which is still strong today from the purveyors of jingly, jangly alt-pop:

Back from the sales,  mission accomplished- nice cashmere and merino jumpers purchased. 

Moving onto Aliens, objectively nowhere near as good as The Book of Invasions but still contains many great tracks some of which are Horlsips best IMO. Can’t agree with the review Roon retrieves.

Double vinyl released 2018 - On the ‘Lillywhite Sessions’, Ryley Walker and the similarly indebted trio of drummer Ryan Jewell and bassist Andrew Scott Young cover Dave Matthews’ infamously abandoned 2001 art-rock masterpiece of the same name, a record where he and his band indulged a new adult pathos and a budding musical wanderlust. ????

Playing on Compact Disc - Brilliant debut from The Killers.

This reminds me of an old fraternity drinking song:

 

"The results, they were horrid,

All boobs and no forehead,

Three gonies and a purple goatee"
