Life According To Lubka

Hedonistic, Niravax popping, sexually exploitative finder and creator of urban music bands like the Spam Javelins and Lime-Twist she is suddenly demoted to World Music – “the Mojave Desert of Comet Audio,” for who she works.

“Not me Dave, I do cutting edge not cutting corn. Hip-Hop not crones,” she tells her boss. Now in her early 40s, she is past her sell-by-date in an ageist industry.
