RT @cogentanalysis I just ate a huge plate of nachos but somehow I’m still lonely

Finally, if you’re in Melbourne with nothing to do this Saturday night, cancel it! You’re going to want to head to the Workers Club in Fitzroy to see up-and-coming singer Esther Holt launch her debut single Countless Verse. She’ll also be debuting the music clip for the song, which I made. Esther’s an amazing songwriter and performer, and there’s no doubt in my mind she’s going to be a huge success, so get in early! Details can be found here.
