An extract from the biography of Richie Kavanagh, "His songs have often been a topic of controversy due to his explicit and risque lyrics, such as "A Ride On A Tractor", "Mickey's Buckin Ass", "My Girlfriend's Pussy Cat", "If I Didn't Get A Ride" and "My Wife, Johnny's Morris Minor". He has also had hits including "The Mobile Phone", "Stay Wut Her Johnny", "Chicken Talk", and "Mobile Phone".

This is really good, Irish short story fans.
Oh no!
The worst thing about having a job teaching hundreds of young adults in a fairly small town is that you can never go to a gym, bar, sauna, even supermarket etc without significant jeopardy.

Feels like we don't factor in enough how much US public culture is just generally invested in sadistic fantasy.
Yes, agreed. Though also maybe the final death blow that academic publishing needs.
I mean, one of them is half octopus and also a DJ.
<5yo looking up suddenly from gabby's dollhouse, a show he has been watching religiously for two years> dad, have you ever noticed all the cats in this show are really weird?

Congrats!!
It;s Mixed Feelings, which I confess I have not read, but I generally liked the Depression book (?!)

Wouldn't you LOVE to have me on your podcast/radio show/other modern communications thingy? Tales of the Suburbs is out next week, and it would be smashing to get word out as far as possible over the next few months via the medium of chat. Slide into my DMs or www.johngrindrod.co.uk/contact x
shame *in* the cybernetic fold, ugh [now experiencing shame]
