Agreed.

Listened to The Woods today. Some crackers on there. But AHOTBO is the right one to kick off with.

slight digression - melbourne musician laura macfarlane played drums on the sleater-kinney self titled. her band ninetynine is responsible for one of my favourite australian releases:

\*once you delete the songs that the drummer sings.

also, they’ve started playing occasional shows again. don’t know what they’d be like these days, but they were always fun to see in the mid 2000s.

Yeah it’s working, but one of the outputs is a bit dicky. Will pull it apart when I get time. The stereo itself though, is rad.

One side of it sounded good (the left, depending on which cable was plugged in). Didn’t really do it justice, so it’s waiting again until I fix the outputs. Sounded promising though.
