I wonder whether I will be a neglectful mother, or a smothering one, or both. I do not try to quantify the size of my foetus by fruit and I avoid all pregnancy manuals, particularly those that insist on male pronouns.
I dream of giving birth to kittens and ducklings that are resentful of me. I start to understand the particular indignities of big-breasted friends. I go to my favourite reiki healer who tells me my dead grandma wants me to eat more apples, so I buy a bag of Granny Smiths and then forget to eat them. I eat melons, then cherries, then feta by the block. I am three months gone (from where?) and, so far, my pregnancy has unfurled in a miasma of nausea, stricken desires for potato-based products, a destabilising aversion to reading and writing, and a kind of undulating ambivalence that I still don’t know what to do with. Now it is 2019, and I have had sex with another man and, in ways that Roxette’s songs will never warn you of, this has led to me being pregnant. But, ultimately, it was funny because there is very little about Roxette that brings to mind sex: the wanting it, the dressing for it, the having of it. It was funny because, unlike many people I have loved, he rarely misheard lyrics.

It is gratifying that Warner Music will bring all the formats described above to domestic music stores. Of course, black will be available, for lovers of those colors was made an edition of orange-marble. In addition to the 3CD and 4LP boxes, two more vinyls will be available for purchase. But there will still be a little more of those physical carriers. This is also a highly anticipated title for the band’s rock collectors, as they will hear twelve songs for the first time. In addition to alternative versions of singles, it will also offer a few remixes, b-sides of single singles, demo versions, rare live recordings and will be complemented by an extensive 32-page booklet mapping the origin of the entire album. And because there are a lot of those bonuses, the annual version will be available on a three-disc and a set of four vinyls.
