I Heart James Blunt

Honestly I do. Not because of his shitfilled, castrated, whiny, cockblocked yearnings he calls music. But because of this.

stories from the (shop)front #1

He may not have been wearing a three-piece suit with a watch chain and cardigan, but such was the impression he gave that this is how I remember him. He was your typical grandfatherly type-the sort you’d expect to slip 5 cents in his grandson’s pocket and whisper “don’t tell your mother, buy yourself [...]
