#LarkinPoe #Blues #Rock

Willenslos bei #ArteDE nach bratziger #GutMukke gesucht als Begleitung für brachiale Mega-Äktschn der »#Aposimz«-Lektüre — einem eleganten Meisterwerk von #TsutomuNihei in für ihn neuem dollem Winterwelt-Stil mit viel Weiß und Hellgraunoten — und zack, bei #LarkinPoe gelandet. Kannte ich bisher gar nicht. Tennessee/Georgia-Bluegrass-Damen rocken den Roll. Was ne Gaudi.
