Ethel from the TV show Dinosaurs

Not that I think looks matter or anything, but I just realised who she reminds me of. Ethel was less of a dinosaur, though

Fucking Hell.

if 'centrist' commentators want to know why none of their propaganda about the green party, or zack polanski as a person, is landing with voters it's bcos we all hate 'centrist' commentators as much as we fucking hate the labour party.

My album is out today! Feels surreal to have finally brought this two year long project to its logical conclusion. I gave it everything I had. Can’t imagine I’ll ever make another one but who knows. eraserheadmusic.bandcamp.com/album/violence
