Morrissey – Viva Hate (2012) – took off ordinary boys and replaced it with a demo, and it sounds like a demo ‘treat me like a human being’. He had also messed with Southpaw grammara a few years previously. very strange.

More Frankie, with added Gary Moore. Completely over the top with an added kitchen sink.

1. Wilco – Summerteeth
2. The Bluebells – Sisters
3. The Bathers – Lagoon Blues/Sunpowder/Kelvingrove Baby

No problem at all, ‘Wrong Train’ is one of my most played tracks this year. Hope they’ll be able to tour someitme in 2021
