A latent denizen of The Rat Motel since its inception, Izzi Sleep woke in the year 2020 and began to yawn. In 2022, it stopped. “It’s No Use, Mr. James!” was thick doze pop with lyrics and structures at times incomprehensible but always familiar – just like a dream. The length and nature of Izzi’s prenatal slumber is a matter of intense speculation. Indeed, there are some who believe Izzi to be a re-encapsulation of Old Man Winkle, the first patron of the Motel, born long before its doors opened. These people would do well to note that while sleep can do wonders for the skin, it cannot reverse the process of aging.
