This really is your last warning to grab one as the window closes in three hours and I’m about to go to bed. 💤
Totally forgot to mention it here! But I’m reprinting some of these! Only three days left to order one!

I really should make some more of these! Need to write another book first though.
If
@eddieargos.bsky.social would make some more of these, I'd be stoked. Would also make a fine train-ready book cover.
It’s the last day to grab one of these, and then they are GONE

theeddieargosshop.etsy.com/listing/4313...I can taste the treat and write a review too if you like, a bit like I do with the album paintings. If it contains gluten though I won’t be able to swallow it.
My plan was to start doing lots more writing, so I don’t know how I ended up making a bunch of paintings of my favourite snacks today. I am terrible at compulsion wrangling.
I took up sweets when I gave up smoking, and then even more sweets when I gave up smoking the second time. I don’t know how to give up sweets. Smoking won’t work I’ll just become a heavy smoker that eats loads of sweets.
A pleasure to review the 2nd Art Brut compilation for LTW.
Nearly 4 1/2 hours of music including demos, bootlegs and covers bringing things up to date...
Plus an essay from
@eddieargos.bsky.social and a signed print too!
I wrote a Substack about how I was importing the Art Brut mailing list and then afterwards couldn’t actually figure it out 🫠. I also wrote a little about what I’ve been listening to now I’m not compiling 10 CDs of Art Brut songs.

Art Brut: Sorry That It Doesn't Sound Like It's Planned!
Art Brut release their second boxset, comprehensively completing the retrospective of the art-rockers recorded works between from 2009-2020.
Melting Pot 100
Melting Pot reaches the millstone of 100 official "proper" shows. If you inlcude In the Mixes, Festive 20s and all the "specials", the number is actually 209. One thing for certain, we are now 4 years...
*UNLURKS* Hey it's a new ep of I Formed A Band with Dunstan Bruce from Chumbawamba! It's a good one! I accidentally compare Dunstan, an anarchist art prankster, to Kier Starmer!

The only way this season of Reacher works is if everybody involved in all of it is monumentally stupid. Are they going to reveal at the end it’s all been taking place during a gas leak? It’s like the A Team with blood and swearing but way less fun.
I mean I’ll watch it, but I’m not proud of myself.

Huzzah! Second Boxset! Sorry It Doesn’t Sound Like Its Planned (I tried to call it Why Would You Want to Sound Like U2? but wasnt allowed)
artbrut.lnk.to/compilationThe prints for the second boxset have arrived. That’s the first one done, just 999 to go.
After discovering Minder, I might now just watch all the things that were on past my bedtime as a child to check them out. What’s the deal with Boon? It’s like Minder but they used to be Firemen?
I’m now cured from the Flu, I hope Minder is still good now my brain is working properly again. Either way I’ve now added ‘Sure as guns are Irons’ and ‘Pull the other one it plays Hey Jude’ to my vocabulary.
I think when Kurt Vonnegut said
“Somebody gets into trouble, then gets out of it again. People love that story. They never get tired of it”
He should have added.. ‘go and watch an Episode of Minder and you’ll see what I mean’

I’d never seen Minder before, but I’ve been in bed with the Flu since Wednesday, and in my fuge state have now watched 10 of them back to back.
I’ve started painting other peoples favourite albums again (over on my Instagram). Don’t worry I’m not going post them all here, but I really really loved this one so wanted to tell everyone.
I think I’m probably going to e d up posting them all here. Love this one too. Like a chat with a straight talking eccentric.
Should also probably say if you want your favourite album painted, and sent to you with a review the order link is here

Saw Art Brut in Leeds back in October. First band me and my wife ever saw together. (Also in Leeds).
They were phenomenal as always.

@eddieargos.bsky.social
I have one of these left, I should probably write another book so I can print some more.

#RTFO No song, just something cool my last entry with
@eddieargos.bsky.social and
@artbrut.bsky.social brought to mind. The coolest bookmark ever, but one I don't have. Eddie, do you think you could run a few more?
Just found out every song is going to start with Grogu shouting ‘Obi-Wan 2! 3! 4!’
My son told me this morning he’s starting a band called Grogu and The Frogs and all the members are going to have real names based on Star Wars names, like Bob Affett & Mandalor-Ian. Is this something I’ve done to him or is it genetic? Nature or Nurture?
#ThatAppleDidNotFallFarFromTheTree
My suggestion of having an older guy in the band called Grandad Merle Thorne has been declined.
