Greetings, earthling… I am here and so are you. Howling into the void.

Januaries tend to be a clenched fists and gritted teeth situation over at Shelby HQ, this past one was certainly no exception. Here is a sequence of tracks that kept me company:

Cut Me Open - Um Jennifer?

Where Do I Go from Here? - Caroline Rose

Sylvia - Julien Baker & TORRES

Mr. Marketer - Haley Heynderickx & Max García Conover

Muck - Annie DiRusso

Blowing On Embers - Bellbird

Wreck - Neko Case

Tears Through a Sunrise - Daniel Romano & The Outfit

Small Changes - Michael Kiwanuka

But Can You Dance In Water? - Cedric Noel

Some notable glimmers encountered last month: writing new music with my dear friends of almost 20 years, receiving the year-end Paternoster Listener Alliance package (a project that I find endlessly inspiring), learning drums.

Befriend your neighbours. See you soon.
