And dude! it’s time to get the winner of My Next Listen on m’ plate.

-IF- you’re in a decent climate, these can be The Cat Days O’ Summer! They can be Glorious Boy Jules days, stretched out in the sunshine with cool gravel beneath a plushy coat of floofy orange fur.
Me? I’m looking for shade… or, uhm, indoors and AC… so sue me: I’m a delicate orchid.
Happy Maman’s Birthday y’all, and I’ll see y’all next Sunday!
Your Accomplice, Gillian
