Six Songs from a Summer Notebook
Adam here. I finished a notebook a couple of weeks ago. (Field Notes Surplus Green with Hazard Yellow edition.) A few pages feature attempts to draw Wrigley Field and one page is dedicated to this epic sticker.
Here are a few other items I may have jotted down while driving:

Perked up at the Pulp reference in “The Words to Auld Lang Syne” by Antony Szmierak.
“Heaven” by some other promising newcomers
“Summer Wine” by Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazelwood
“They Were on Hard Drugs” by Julian Cope
“Dear God” by XTC
