"Only LFD would choose Matt Berry over Slayer to soundtrack our slide into the abyss"

"Yeah but Gary, Berry's version of the Blankety Blank theme choon IS the sound of a nation sleepwalking into fascism. Rainbow IS a pea green boat capsized by a sh****ck torpedo of forlorn longing and regret - by the way I've heard Ridley Scott might be using it as the theme for his remake of Threads, how's that for an endorsement of the abyss? - Wildtrak is a Ballardian bongo driven hellscape, and that cover of the World In Action? Christ, it's a heavy as f**k, scorched earth indictment of every single f**king thing wrong with Mankind. Tom Araya would give his left nut to write something so devastatingly succinct."

"So what about that Sorry theme tune? A bit lame innit?"

"Gary, are you kidding? It's the sound of the mutant rabble picking through the ruins of civilization! When the ska trombone kicks in? That's the Two-headed Calf howling at the moon cos he's seen his reflection in a broken window!"

"Oh no! The poor little Two-headed Calf!"

Limerence: ...is a psychological state in which a person becomes obsessively preoccupied with another individual...

Last couple years I've made a conscious effort to read more female authors. I don't know why my personal book collection was 99% male when I've stocked so many great female writers in the shop.

Alice Evelyn Yang's A Beast Slinks Towards Beijing is my book of the year so far and I'm really enjoying this one too.

Hello, Limerence is a punchy, funny, ever so slightly twisted, filthy as heck finger in the eye of the salaryman patriarchy.

Dildo's the one on the left.

Duh Duh Duhhhhhh STREETWATCH!!!!
Live from Wyle Cop, give it up for your host... El Eff Deeeeeeeee!!!!!!

"Monday's always a weird one on the 'Cop.
Most of the shops are closed so on the one hand there's the assumption that no one is out shopping.
On the other hand, I've counted 300+ people walk past the shop today (admittedly around 50% of them are kids from the college) so there ARE plenty of people around.

Of those 300+ people, 4 came in the shop, and of those 4, 2 spent a little bit of money. Remember them numbers kids when you're reading the Obits!"

Highest new entry on the LFD s**tlist:

PUNKBABYMAN. 60+, grossly overweight, everything stopped growing except their belly in 1979. S**t band t-shirt, confuses s**t manners for 'attitude'.

I won't miss 'em.
