  The Week in Consumption

Overall very Elvis-y, didn’t get too obsessed with it I have to say. My back catalogue was Undertow by TOOL which I never got around to listening to before now. It’s very cool, but got the least attention, so I’m going to carry it over to next week because I make the rules around here.

Some stuff will be terrible, some might be ok. I’ll also try and squeeze in time for some longer stuff that’s already in progress.
