I had an awful day yesterday at a small used car garage.
It's in my latest newsletter, dated 4 August 2023.

Also: Photos, weight loss, and watching old episodes of Top of the Pops.

PWM12 Metal Hammer Vol 2, No 12, (Oct 29, 87) - Female Induced Moshability

Doro adorns the cover of this, the earliest edition of Metal Hammer we own. It's Halloween and there's weird stuff going on though not the kind of weird stuff you might expect.

I've finished going through #Fedivision Entries for #Fedivision2023! My top 5 are (in reverse order - think #TopOfThePops music):
5. A 5-way tie of WSEC / STUB / FUZZ / EVIH / BAJO (probably cheating, but I couldn't separate them)
4. DEOS
3. UCOW
2. BASS
1. SBFL
To work out which these are, you'll have to listen to the entries at https://fedivision.party/ though... 😉
