Literally why the English civil war happened.

I’m loving the whole album. But my weirdness is liking her adopted persona in Father Figure—and the chorus makes you want to get up and dance.

I’d also love to hear what the chiefs locker room will have to say to Travis after listening to Wood 🤣

And worse, I *think* he committed suicide? “We’ll never know why” she says of his death

I was just thinking today of how she picks the perfect specific detail and the fewest words. This is a perfect example

In The Manuscript there’s the French press, the dartboard on the back of the door, the eating kid cereal in bed etc etc

I’m happy to start with appliances and wait for a great flip phone—although I know folks who have decent ones.

Not everything needs to be reinvented. Just find and *stock* analog appliances and electronics all in one place
