That Bon Iver EP is outstanding. I am so grateful he released it, I only wish it could have continued in to a full LP.

So good eh Joss? In interviews he's talked about how it was a tentative return, so hopefully he's building to something bigger (and another tour - still in my top five live shows!).

Have you read this interview with him? https://www.newyorker.com/culture/the-new-yorker-interview/bon-iver-is-searching-for-the-truth

What a mad 2024 - loved the regular pings of musical awesomeness in my inbox. You've introduced me to so many new tracks and artists this year - some have become my new favorites (Mannequin Pussy - great name, even better band). Can't wait for what you get up to in 2025.

Thanks Ants - love that and so happy you’re part of this! Just had a swim in the Mount Maunganui surf, sun’s out, got a coffee on the way - feeling magic :)

Thanks Chris, hope you have an enjoyable night tonight. You’ve introduced me to some new stuff this year which I wouldn’t have otherwise heard and of course it’s led me to take an interest in what the next generation are listening to (and how they sometimes suffer trying to see their favourite artists!!). Keep up the fight and will correspond in 25. Cheers
