... race divisions of 1960s Washington. The history, the setting and the dialogue are all gripping. David Peace is probably the most similar author, and his Red Riding quartet does for the 1970s North of England what Ellroy did for 1950s Los Angeles.

We expect to see 15-20 new tea varieties arrive in the first couple of years, with perhaps many more to follow.

... that sports fans and Shakespeare fans recognize.

... than 3 and a half minutes. Complexity pop indeed. I recently heard an interview with the author David Peace in which he talked about his habit of copying out by hand chunks of books he admired in an effort to work out how the author had written it - an admirable practice I think, and one I'm tempted to try with "Timer" as I still can't get to the bottom of this song.
