Happy new year, O SOP followers and friends; I hope you’ve made a musical resolution or two (learn to play the drums? listen to the complete recordings of Showaddywaddy?). Ours is to continue twisting and turning in pursuit of the sunlight (see illustration). How? Well, gigging, recording and blogging might come into it. It’s business as usual. . . .

In the meantime, our older recordings (juvenilia . . .) are still free to download, principally via bandcamp, the most recent addition being this prime number from 2011.
