Spoon have unearthed their 1999 demo for “Lines in the Suit,” a track off 2001’s Girls Can Tell , to mark the 20th anniversary of the Austin band’s third studio album. Unlike its polished album version, the home demo for “Lines in the Suit – 30 Minutes Old” finds the track in its embryonic form; as suggested by its title, the track was recorded just half an hour after Britt Daniel conceived of the song, giving the demo an unsteady feel. “ Girls Can Tell was the Hail Mary pass that absolutely no one thought was gonna find a receiver.

TikTok user Katie Charles shared the cringeworthy chat up lines that desperate blokes have sent to her on the dating app. She begins the video with a tamer one, reading it out she says: “Remember that time we met? It was tomorrow night.” However, as she continues the one liners tend to get more and more lewd. “Would I be able to have the honour to blow thy back out?” asked another very forward bloke. In one particular bizarre message, another said: “Wish I could dip my spoon in your macaroni.” Katie was most baffled by the next pick up line, admitting she had no idea what it meant. “If you were a glass of orange juice, I would take five sips and bang you on the floor.” Her favourite chat-up line came from a bloke who attempted to inject a little festive romance into his message. “Might try and be like the Grinch this year and … [Read more...] about Woman shares the most rude chat-up lines Tinder lads have sent her – including ‘can I dip my spoon in your macaroni’
