How fast life's plans change. Note to self on Sept 30 "November is going to be expensive 4 WAS gigs, hotels, trains, alcohol, alcohol on trains, let's not spend too much this month." Revised note to self on Oct 2 "leave work ASAP to buy loads of WAS merch cost be damned."

At this point, I should just mail you my credit card and you can do what you will with it.

At last, a cat pin that embodies my preferred vice: drinking cocktails in formal wear.

There is little that makes me happier than spending money on stuff that I probably don’t need but that it is absolutely imperative I have! Fancy cat merch definitely falls into this category, as does WAS vinyl. Purchase made, mood significantly lifted! 🎉🎉🎉

I would argue that everyone needs Fancy cat merch.

This is wonderful news! Can’t wait to see/hear/own/celebrate BTM in November. No “Dance Off”?

Dance Off is my favorite WAS B-side 🥲 but I’ve been waiting for BTM to be reissued for 15 years so this is still fantastic news

I (foolishly? naively?) believed BTM could not get better. Then my favourite ever acoustic cover, Let's See It live at union chapel, is added to its frankly preposterously illustrious ranks.

Please send at least one copy rigged to a spring trap on the outside of the next space x rocket so that it can be sprung across the very milky way and enjoyed by the rest of the cosmos also. Andromeda thanks you.
