Why do my eyes seem so unfocused?

This is a must read; I have it bookmarked so I can keep going back to it and reminding myself of the value of the good fight and the nature of creativity.

This has been going on since Sunday with no sign of improvement: fever and severe achiness.I don't have time for this.

My man Edgar. 🖤

Nell Davies: The End of the World or Whatever A blog about music. The good stuff only.

Part riot girrrl, part pop artist, Nell Davies attacks her material with a hammer and a smile. Look no further when in need of a song telling people to fuck off. This kind of ramshackle catchiness is irresistible.

I can cope with eggs if they're overcooked (scrambled maybe, omelet by preference if compelled), or combined past recognition in something. In theory they seem so lovely, but not for me.

And perfectly pretty. 🖤

Please note that I stopped and stepped away from the pedestrian traffic to type and send that text.

Salem seems to like Cate Le Bon's new record (I already do but this is his first listen).

😮

Sadly it wasn't a feeling of prolonged enjoyment.

The desk (actually a converted table) where I am sitting now.

May the good health spirits smile upon you as that would be an excellent way to get through December.

What are the crows digging out in the first clip? Dead gophers?

It began to seem endless several months ago here. September itself seemed at least three months long.

I did not know this existed and am now curious!

Then I will give 1989 a listen!

I bought Folklore (and Evermore, the only TS albums I own) on the basis of that column, so you can tell your mum that.
