Yes, the big news today was I was sent out of work at lunchtime to buy some 'Roman themed wrapping paper', which I was pretty sure didn't exist before I trawled the town centre, and am now most certain it doesn't.

Hence a track by the Holy Roman Empire. I don't know much about them, apart from they come (or came) from Oxford and that this is a splendidly naive piece of pop, which reminds me of a slightly weedier Pulp (Especially the enthusiastic ad lib of 'go on' about 3 mins in). I spent many years having no idea who the topic of the song was, so if you don't know I suggest you don't bother finding out as it's far more charming if you just assume it's just another random girl the singer once met. Just don't go reading any papers tomorrow.
