In need of black strap

Enjoying a fun book about searching out all the ex-members of The Fall. Probably an attempt to gain indirect insight into that wonderful and frightening world. I'm happy that I'm still totally entertained by the antics of Mark E Smith. And I'm happy to share one of his more poppy numbers.

Back from LA. Operation Breathe Deep and Mellow Out a near-complete success. I have decided I actually like driving around the place, though I still can't get used to the phrase "it's not far from here" referring to a 20-minute drive.
