Pearlfishers (band)

The Pearlfishers are a Glasgow-based rock band fronted by the singer and songwriter David Scott, who have been described by acclaim.ca as "one of Scotland's best-kept musical secrets".[1] Other contributors include drummer Jim Gash, Dee Bahl, Brian McAlpine, Mil Stricevic and Duglas T. Stewart, also of the BMX Bandits. The band's 2007 album, Up With the Larks, was named one of the top albums of 2007 by the Sunday Mail music critic, Billy Sloan.[2] and their 2014 release "Open Up your Colouring Book" drew favourable comparisons [3] to the work of Paul Simon and the Beach Boys.

gollark: PRAISE THE ACTOR MODEL!
gollark: I have fixed it using the actor model!
gollark: I'm just going to add a hard cap of 20... somethings... executing at once.
gollark: Fun fact: the new version does *not* handle it better.
gollark: I spammed it with a few thousand requests in a few seconds, and:- in the old version it just ignored two increments at once (node.js has a weird single-threaded event loop model...) (the ignoring did come with extra disk/CPU load though)- the version I took down would basically just spin for ages as all the transactions were queued- the new version should have a longer delay and work less badly
