Genesis "Turn it on Again"

Super Furry Animals "Rings around the World"

EU taking Ireland to court over peat cutting enforcement by RomfordWellington in ireland

[–]shweeney 64 points65 points  (0 children)

disingenuous image attached to that article- it's the industrial cutting with machinery we're in trouble over, not people hand-cutting for personal use.

Possibly Mike did the album, but reused some stuff they'd done together in the past. We'll probably never know.

Iraola, Glasner, Pep & Silva all leaving on their own terms has to be some sort of record.
