\"\"<\/a>Hiya.<\/p>\n

My name is Jeff, but I’m basically Cousin Oliver.\u00c2\u00a0 Or Ben-Gali.\u00c2\u00a0 Matt, Sarah and Chris decided to bring me in to ‘sex up’ this blog for younger readers, what with me being ‘only 30’ (as Matt puts it).<\/p>\n

You may already know me from my own blog<\/a> or my contributions to the Elvis Costello blog<\/a> I co-write with Matt and the world-famous Dazzler Fan Blog<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 If you’re a discerning reader (and between you and I, I think you’re pretty discerning), you might have seen my name in the pages of Grok<\/a>, our humble<\/span> amazing ‘zine.<\/p>\n

Now, I’m going to back out of here quietly.\u00c2\u00a0 I still feel like I’ve broken into someone’s house or hacked Sarah Palin’s email.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
