Kris Roe has always been one to work outside the box, but this is pretty impressive even by his standards. A ‘Complete Demos: So Long Astoria’ is up for free on the Ataris’ Bandcamp page – it’s a 54 song compilation of demos for songs that ended up on the album, plus rough mixes and all sorts of treats that got cut at quality control originally. Now absolutely free. Donate if you wish. All you need to give them is your email. Ataris fans will love it.

It’s Valentines Day, so why not buy your lover / husband / wife / significant other / partner a ticket for a present? Flowers are shit. Here’s what you could be getting them today.
