RC 254: It’s Raining Fags And Dykes (aka The Bisexual Flood)
It’s raining, you’re pouting, the old man is flaming… A UKIP councillor think gays caused all the flooding, possibly believing that because we have a rainbow flag, we can somehow control the rain?

Wild Beasts – Wanderlust

RC 184: Quiet Storm
A bumper show of 3 months worth of delayed music. Twas the storm’s fault, you see. A quiet storm…one you could hardly hear, but yet so loud. A few minutes ago every tree was excited, bowing to the roaring storm, waving, swirling, tossing their branches in glorious enthusiasm like worship. But though to the outer…
