You can hear all about the 30+ year career of @darrenhayman, as well as this effort to fill gaps and connects the dots within his incredible (and vast!) catalogue on The J-Card Podcast.

In addition to supplying missing releases from @darrenhayman & Hefner/The French, we thought it'd be good to make some titles available with their original release tracklists.

So, for the four Hefner albums, you now have your pick of the Expanded Editions or Hefner Classic!

[Audio Antihero (Josaleigh Pollett LP Out 7/24) @audioantihero]

Lots of @darrenhayman being added to digital services.

Today we have The Hefner Heart EP!

Some other EPs added:

⭐️ Static Caravan series

⭐️ I Taught You How to Dance (ft. Eddy Grant Roxy Music & Kinks covers)

⭐️ Calling Out Your Name Again ft. Emmy the Great

the line “i want a girl with a short skirt and a looooong…. jacket” reads like it’s trying to set up for an innuendo that it then subverts, but i can’t think of any sexual feature of a woman that could sub in for “jacket”, unless the guys from cake are way cooler than i thought

[Lonely Ghost Records (NEW HEY ILY OUT NOW!) @lonelyghostrecs]

Happy Pride Month! This DIY scene exists because of the community building work of Queer people in alternative music spaces. Now more than ever, we need to support LGBTQ+ communities and protect and EXPAND these inclusive spaces. There is no room for bigots in DIY.

[Rue Defense @ruedefense]

Alexei does not understand a single one of these.

[Audio Antihero (Josaleigh Pollett LP Out 7/24) @audioantihero]

I’ve been trying to amuse Josaleigh Pollett by making lyric memes for their “The Witness” single, and it’s the best.

And now people have started making their own!!! (Mine are still the best ones)
