I've been offline for a few months but I had to return to post those important lists about The Killers because “All These Things That I’ve Done” was released on this day in 2004 (22 years ago!)

Here's a poem about my least favourite lady, Miss Pellings...
EVIL MISS PELLINGS Miss Pellings can come at any thyme Especially when you’re trying to rime She’s hear and their and everywear With clause as sharp as grizzly bare It’s quiet likely that you’ll see her In rythm, scism, onomatopeaia You may think she’s gone, breathe a sigh of relief But no, here she is, back to cause you more greif – Addam Sharpe

My previous agent, Jo Unwin, quit agenting a few years ago, and the agency that represented me after that just closed down (I swear neither were my doing). So if any agents are reading this (ideally with plans to stay in the industry long term), please feel free to get in touch.
