My neo-migo #2 is the Drake-Adele guy from the Grammys

Vividly recall this from the rack at a Borders,
yours for "best offer" or "$9.99" on e-bay.
Fruitless hunt thru NR archive yielded 298 unique hits for "anglosphere", still exotic to me conceit i'd falsely recalled emblazoned before the grinning 'migos but sad to say retained from a peep inside.

Gorgeous in the aesthetic sense, essential in the educative. Thanks for the memories.

if you can stand a detour thru pedant town, probably AP was reluctant to objectify, however sympathetically, his recently died (in '51) very best friend, the famous in his own right Constant Lambert (curiously pastoral name) ; his portrayal apparently the truest to life of the lot (I believe it )

jarred too by Casanova's shift from strictly linear to leapfrog reminiscence, moreover because Jenkins-Morelands' expansive tete-a-tete position the latter as a lodestar for a sensibility chum in the Stringham, Templer, Barnby, Widmerpool line (all of whom established by vol. 2) ...

Any love here for synth-phase Mitchell? I'll recommend "I'm a Lucky Girl" and "The Reoccurring Dream" ; oh, and please do give a listen to "Good Friends", a decidedly un-famous duet from 1985 which lifts its bass-line and backbeat from "Billie Jean" and its Michael McDonald from "On my Own"
