Far out, we’re up to 2020s? I’m about 5 threads in debt at this point. Apologies @swoodley, I haven’t forgotten, just life and all. Still working on the 80s, but will submit 00s, 10s and 20s when I get there.

I blame children returning to school and all that’s associated with that. Either that or I just can’t get my ##$@ together to spend 1/2 an hour collecting my thoughts into something coherent.

Thanks @swoodley , you have got me back into music again. For the last year or so, I’ve just been trying to keep up with podcasts, but now I have a long list of albums to go and listen to again.
Also I’m glad to have found the latest Lumineers album, its a ripper!
