For now I'm offering a fan-curated mix tape of sorts by one of Dunedin, New Zealand's finest, The Verlaines. Not an official release by any stretch of the imagination, this 17-song set focuses on deeper album tracks, b-sides, alternate versions, and even Graeme Downes solo material. If you're unfamiliar with the band, particularly early halcyon-era albums like Hallelujah - All The Way Home, this is an enlightening, if a bit haphazard spot to dive in. Enjoy.

I'm sorry to hear of the health issues and I do wish for a speedy recovery. Please don't put yourself out on our behalf.
That said ... F ing A on this post. It's fantastic. They're one of my faves raves since they came out and this collection truly has some great obscure little chestnuts.
Thank you,

A real sweet nugget offered. Thank you!
Sorry to read about your health problems.
As a person who also deals with a lotta health issues - not to mention the bizarro-mind-fuck of the American health insurance system - I can empathize.
Be well my friend,

First and foremost, take care of yourself. Anything extra on here is just gravy at this point.
Best wishes on the health front. Make that priorities 1-100, & maybe - maybe - posting here comes after that.
As always, a hearty thank you! But, focus on your health first - wishing you a quick recovery.
Take care!
