Sophie Noel – Hot Nights
If you’re wondering how I’ve been doing this Summer, know that I’m alright. I’ve found a place where, mostly, it rains and the evenings are cool. It wasn’t easy. They don’t make a lot of places like these anymore.

Joe No One From Nowhere – Are You Driving At The Wheel Of Your Life?
There are a lot of reasons why British rock n’ roll was, and is always destined to be, the finest form that this type of art will ever take. In fact, I’ve probably bored a lot of readers with…
