Hello readers! Now we are very aware that some of you are less dedicated than others to following our dear website. In an ideal world we’d just glue you all face first to our RSS feed with only a copy of Slanted & Enchanted on repeat for comfort.

Still we’re both going to Glastonbury and we’re very excited. Carry on…
