on the bathroom object: love them when they don't give me terrible headaches, any kind of vasodilator (baths, alcohol, viagra lol) is a migraine trigger for me; on the musician: i fell in love all over again with romaplasm this autumn and that was such a joy, it is the perfect album to be in giddy love to; on bath, the place (i will never get used to England in the 'state' position i would always just put UK. weird fidgety annoyance with usually Americans writing UK place names): it is a bizarre city that i take trains through very regularly so im reminded of its architectural weirdness all the time. beautifully picturesque setting, magnificent stonework, absolutely dead inside. Bristol makes much better use of all that bath stone, we have a local vernacular style where they use shale or cobble for walls and finish details, cornices and important facades with bath limestone. it's called Bristol Byzantine, it's very odd and Orientalist but very distinctive. im a big fan of seeing it around my home so much.
