Cast a spell 6. Fall in love 7. Sleep with your peanut butter toast 8. Carve a pumpkin 9. Scare your friends! 10. Dress up as a Jesuit and ride a golf cart

→ GOSSIP RAT Did you ever have someone kiss you in a clammy sewer? I have. Or I used to. But now I lie awake in vermin and disease, in sweat and in heat. I stare at ICC walls until they speak back. I twist in my burrow and pray that I’m not—right this minute—about to make some fateful relationship mistake. If this is what love feels like, I don’t want it.

If I have to wallow in my pain, so do all of you. I’m very proud to announce my latest studio album, Midday. This is a collection of shrieks made in the middle of the day, a journey through Leo’s and frat houses. The floors I pace and the humans I face. For all of us who have swagged and slayed and decided to keep the rat loins lit and go searching—hoping that just maybe, when Healy strikes noon, we’ll smash on Vittles’ shelves. Meet me at Midday—and say goodbye to your Marriage Pact lovers.

xoxo, Gossip Rat
