You know you all want to go to this with me. Joan Collins is one of the 4 celebrities that I would have to break the New York “ignore the celebrity and keep cool” rule for if I saw her, so I might get a little nuts.

Jesus fuck. “One above and two below.” Good lord.
There’s a lot we could say about this, even without getting into biography. Autobiography, though, is a different story. For instance, I could talk about Matthew’s distinction between 90s indie as emotionally reserved and cerebral and 00s indie as emotionally open and visceral. For me, this sorta explains why I...
