The glass bottom boat of the cultural press
Body, my mother disgusts me. A fool, a screw, anything for you. A stupid child takes a dump in the middle of a New York stage. It[base ‘]s ugly in here. It[base ‘]s cold. A coward for the hanging. We[base ‘]re your servants. Folding slabs of sound. Clang, thrum, blanch. It[base ‘]s about time someone put this record on CD.
