This is the position I’m in now. I’m about to move house and looking at my possessions collected over decades and having to ask myself tough questions about whether they truly bring me joy. What purpose is that fifth copy of the vinyl serving?
What ‘day’ are we saving these things for? When’s it coming?
And could we be happier with less?
MSP could probably write a song about artist gaming the chart if they wanted to
