Nope. Nice riff(s).

Actually looks uncannily like Ben Whishaw.

It might have been tongue in cheek. 🤷‍♂️ He was also objecting to someone who’d compared Distortion to Lush. Quote stuck in the memory, nonetheless.

Also didn’t make the piece, and it isn’t relevant here, but I told Lee Buford from The Body that I’d learnt how to make my own pizza dough over lockdown and then I asked Lee Buford from The Body “Are you proud of me?” 🍕 😬 (Politely, he was.)

Bit of an overstatement, isn’t it. Might have been tongue in cheek. 🤷‍♂️ Stuck in the memory, though.

Don’t think it made the piece but I put Merritt’s quote to Lee Buford when I interviewed him about The Body’s own distortion-mad record I've Seen All I Need To See in 2021. He was like, “That figures.”

My younger brother was lucky enough to have a Thomas duvet set. The pillowcase featured James on one side and Percy on the other. He would only sleep with the pillow facing Percy-side-up because James was the naughty engine who was always getting into trouble. FACT. 😴 🚂

I understand my digressions might be annoying to some and the style not for everyone but yeah. It isn’t that other thing and nor was it meant to be. 🤷‍♂️
