Hello from Helsinki! It’s very groovy and, inevitably, I’ve found a record shop and ended up buying another copy of Love and Dancing but it is in a different sleeve. Yaroo!

Love Hangover by Diana Ross is the sound of the diva getting fucked in her kitchen and bent over the sink in her mules, smoking a B&H.
