      It's Crying Time

      Nov 15, 2023

      I was about 13, on a sofa in front of the television on a wet Saturday afternoon. I was carelessly able to do that once – sigh. I was watching a black-and-white film. Or maybe the TV was black-and-white – probably. It was a story about a nanny caring

      After “The End”

      Oct 10, 2022

      I walked down the road with a hunched back and a wet cigarette in my mouth—the fire had died a while back. My hands were tucked into the pockets of my jacket, and my hair fell over my face, limiting my sight. But I wasn’t really seeing where I was go

      St Vincent: ‘At A Certain Point, We Are All Culpable. Just Don’t Be A S***ty Person’

      I’m good,” says St Vincent brightly. “I’m better than last time when I was a royal dick. So apologies for that, again.” “Royal dick” is pushing it, but my last encounter with Annie Clark was definitely frosty. In 2017, off the back of no sleep, too m

      Charlie reached down with a stick to stir the embers. He was already a little stinkoed from the wine.
