I just want the bathtub.
do you know how much I love you
I’d like to buy you the world’s largest bathtub
but I put my hand so deep in my pocket
I found some lint some burnt matches
and a couple of ticket stubs….

for Unreliable Narrator, born 30 March 1969

Here, gentle reader, are two samples of copy which make me clutch my temples and hoarsely mock-whisper, like Gene Hackman in that Elaine May-penned knockoff of La Cage Aux Folles: “I feel like I’m insane!” (Though the Brujo points out, it’s really I who am, however unrepresentatively and temporarily, sane, and the world which seems […]

fabulously incoherent franglais…
not inevitably the pop one
Monday 23 October 2006 | I like a cookie
From the three young musicians of D[r]iving with Andy, whose new “disc” October in May is your average world-millennial retro-pop, hipster to the hilt—this via the Google translation service. One is super different! With a history of lunching forgotten.
