Some purple finds from a record fair yesterday...

NEW REVIEW I was lucky enough to catch a screening of the Paul McCartney & Wings documentary, One Hand Clapping, last month at the Showroom Cinema, and was thrilled to write up some thoughts about it for Now Then Magazine! Link below for those who are interested.

NEW REVIEW Really enjoying Chuck Prophet's new album featuring QienSave, Wake The Dead, and wrote up some thoughts about it for Now Then Magazine! Link below for those who are interested.

this is what yall voted for btw

So, I think I'm done here. I no longer wish to use a platform operated by a man who bolstered and supported the re-election of a right-wing, fascist, wannabe dictator. If anyone wants me, I'll be on Instagram (dbpmccarthy). Take care.

Popping back into this hell hole with lightning speed just to note that the opening line of this ("Squeeze my cherry baby, so the juice can run down my leg"), has its roots in Robert Johnson's 'Traveling Riverside Blues'.
