Thee Oh Sees - "Penetrating Eye"
And this is stranger sex. Edmund walks into an apartment where the ceiling looks like a tent sagging in the rain, and the only decorations are nail holes and a thin flag. If "alone and awake at 4am drunk" had an apartment, this would be it. Something that smells like wet toast. Something that feels like a begging ritual. Something that sounds like tenderizing meat. And then waking up without having slept. "What are you doing here?" "I could ask you the same question." This was life without May. This was life with a May-shaped hole, gaping and yawning and black and endless. Outside, he wondered when the soonest appropriate time would be to get a beer.

Tomorrow is Record Store Day. There will be many amazing releases, from Sam Cooke to Devo and from Chvrches to Haim. But among my favourite will be a vinyl release of
Scharpling & Wurster's Rock, Rot, and Rule, the very first Best Show bit. Support your local record stores, and enjoy the treasures.
Please post the Edmund chronicle in its entirety somewhere. And after you do so, please let me know where to find it. Please.
Posted by Lease, Preston at April 23, 2014 10:23 PMPlease, post the Edmund chronicle in its entirety somewhere. And once you've done so, please tell me where to find it. And if it is your intention to put it on pages then that is fine. I'll wait a little longer.
Posted by Lease, Preston at April 23, 2014 10:25 PMThank you, Preston. From the start I've wanted to make it a web page with a character map that catalogues all the entries and visually makes clear their interaction, because while it may seem confusing, it does actually all relate. So what I need is: an illustrator, a web designer, and a bunch of either money or time.
