On Cue
It’s been a busy month for us at Sells Studio. The boss is breathing down our neck, hounding us for those monthly reports, the relatives insist on having us over for tea, and the dog continues to drop its ball at our feet, begging for attention. All we really want is to sit down, have a drink,  and spend some quality time with our records…
Here’s a list of what’s helping us cope with the poor housing market, the dismal food crisis, unending war, drought, famine, John Arne Riise’s own goal, and prevailing ignorance:
