… the Best Part …

… of my life. You better not be late to this party, Lauren and Jake are depending on you. The second of ten great albums or E.P.s I discovered this year and Lauren would have loved. They are in no particular order in case you were wondering. ‘Everybody Needs a Hero,’ twists and turns, goes placesContinue reading “… the Best Part …”

Music Was Once …

… such a large part of my life. Lauren has her nails out for the battle, that’s for sure, even though the vinyl black varnish may be chipped, the nails split, and the skin raw beneath. Lauren wasn’t born a fighter. The fact she became one was all the Red Marsh King’s doing. As wasContinue reading “Music Was Once …”

Another Kind of Christmas

Behind us, multicoloured lights hung from lamp posts. Merry fat men in red ho-ho-ho-ed with artificial cheer and reindeer galloped high, pulling sleigh-fulls of ribbon wrapped presents.

In the life before, the time past … … back when I did something I thought I was good at, something I knew how to do, I was pretty good with deadlines.
