I get it, it's like the late period Mountain Goats of social media
Watching "BBC 4." Imagine having to turn pages for Martha Argerich. I'd be sweating through my M&S dinner jacket.

John Waters calling the late Katie French "a meteorite of desire" will be in my brain long after the names of my children have dribbled out.

Also, one day the NME review of Klaxons' first album will disappear from the Internet but I'll revisit it annually until that day
