"She gets the chemo on Wednesday, and once the chemo sets in"--Coulter began to laugh--"for the first week, she gets a little daft from the chemo ... Whenever I call them [her parents], it rings.

My roommates and I have been listening to the pre-release 12” from the Gorillaz and Daft Punk. The new Justus Kohncke record as well as the Bloc Party LP have been on pretty constant rotation since January. Also, grime: anything by Wiley, or anything off the Run the Road comp.
