spatialrealms Had the pleasure of seeing Jimmy live last week. He played Rat In Bin 3 times in a row and we got him to play it a 4th time at the end. Wonderful experience. Thank you for your tepid applause. Also he played BPD on his phone upon request. lmao absolute legend Favorite track: Rat in Bin.

Dean. Just. Dean. Come from the titular song that will make you laugh in random places at visualisations of. Stay for the sixty-one and a half minutes of "tributes" to The Cure. I think Jim's misery is really just a matter of perspective. Not many people are capable of urinating on Butterflies. Congratulations, Jim, you actually accomplished something! Favorite track: I'm Writing Love Letters at McDonald's (LIVE).

dionysis koutavas "I Urinated on a Butterfly" is the album My Bloody Valentine always wish they had written but ultimately got too distracted chaining overdrive pedals. Thank you Jim E. Brown for saving the day at just 19 years old. Favorite track: The Queue at Greggs.

Beautiful instrumentation, arrangements, production, and everything in between. The lyrics demonstrate how idiotic, vain, and simply arrogant the narrator is in a manner which can be reinterpreted in different ways, making each listen entertaining and highly emotional at times.
