Summary
The Asphalt World was a song about a bisexual love triangle, written from the point of view of the jilted man. This story is a creative re-imagining of its narrative, written from the point of view of the queer women.
Back in 1993, Margaret MacConnor (yes, of My Friends Told Me About YouTube) played in a minor Camden scene band. Her best friend Suni's little sister turns up to a gig, and introduces them to her boyfriend, Brett Surbiton, the singer of Swayed - currently the biggest band in Britain. An unstable and shifting love triangle unfolds around the couple, and the bands are torn apart by bitter rivalries, both between Swayed and their arch-nemeses, Slur - and between singer Brett Surbiton and his own gifted but troubled guitarist, Bernard Barnet.
As Margaret's life becomes entangled with Swayed, she has to navigate the difficult currents of both the cut-throat British Music Press, and the difficult Queer Politics of early 90s London.
(Yes, this is part of the Deep Field Universe, so comedy names for famous bands are all part of the fun.)

Summary
What might have happened if Jarvis happened to interview the girl he lost his virginity to in the 'Do You Remember The First Time?' film, who happened to be Deborah from Disco 2000... confusing?
(It wasn't, I'm pretty sure, please don't hold me accountable for details of the lead singer of Pulp's private life.)

Summary
What might have happened if she had actually been won over by the song, which, to be fair, any sane person would - or should - be.
