One of the first reviews of my book was by @andreslokko.bsky.social now HE has a book which is a collection of his writings, and the book review is in that too, so naturally being in Stockholm I had to buy it as it’s all a bit meta and far out. My mind is still bent by all this tbh.

I identified with him more and more as I was finding myself, really. Older was where it all β€˜spoke’ to me and my life at that time. What a man.

Three episodes of All Saints alone would’ve been amazing. You have an actual All Saint there and you still end up wanging on about the bloody Spice Girls

All Saints β€˜were originally signed to indie label ZTT’ could’ve possibly be reconfigured as β€˜were signed to to label that had made Frankie and Seal massive stars’. Also wasn’t an indie.

So anyway I watched Girlbands Forever and while I was quite into it, there were some pointless bits. My findings are thus:
