We are dealing with simply unfathomable levels of derangement.

Very fine writing, and depressingly on the nail.

RIP Gilson Lavis First came across him as I fell in love with Squeeze & he was their drummer but he played with Buddy Holly & Jerry Lee Lewis previously. Anyway, here’s a perfect kitchen sink pop song. youtu.be/RQciegmLPAo?...

At Home with Maria, exclusive by Barry Eager: ‘her fragrant tears clear a path through the ornate landscaped garden to her private chapel & sacrificial altar; we pray together but alas when we open our eyes, Connolly is still President and I am still ginger’
