had a dream there’s a genre of speedrunning beatles (playing beatles songs as fast as possible). beatles hated it and even played a normal tempo song about how it sucks & you shouldn’t do it. some speedrun band challenged paul that he can’t do it, so he speedran a response & accidentally enjoyed it

Babygirl: Beyond Villain or Victim of Desire
Dark desire, angels don't fuck, Eros with a machine gun, and why repression doesn't work.
