HELLO!? Good morning...Yeah so, shit's packed FULL.

And now, they've returned from their tour, added shedloads to the box and Gareth has dressed up all nicely, put on one of his two ties, and given you the instructions on how to WIN WIN WIN.

Right, got that? So, to work out the list of bands who were mentioned in each entry but do NOT have any material in the record box, you're going to have to visit their blog and do the hard work. Nobody said it was going to be easy.
