So, I’ve been severely slacking in reviewing albums sent my way, but it turns out losing your mom can be fucking devastating. First I was sad, then I got a tattoo of a unicorn smoking a cigarette, my mom’s two favorite things. Now, since I got it on the inside of my calf, I see it every time I take a shit and can’t stop laughing. Well, I can, and I did long enough to bust out another round of haiku reviews.
