Happy belated! Sorry, I was drunk.

Think I'm going to go to the Winchester, have a nice cold pint and wait for all this to blow over.

Yup, snapped awake in the middle of the night and didn't know why. A few seconds later, the shaking started. Believe the effect is due to the p-waves preceding the quake? Anyway, weird, and please notice that Brent had cleverly flown out beforehand to maintain plausible deniability.

The Streets -- A Grand Don't Come For Free One of those classics that you forget about and then every time it comes up on the playlist you are, like, OMG I can't believe I haven't listened to this for this long!

Robyn Hitchcock — S/T This was right up there in my top albums of the year. A sprawling, pitch black humored, power pop treat.

Dug my old Mark 1 007s out of a packing crate today and spent a few hours listening. Not much wrong with those!

Born is the king! Happy Birthday!

Hopefully.

Happy Birthday!

Also fuckin' ace.

Up for this Optimuff. Steve, can I have your share too?

Problem is, as Biggie says, no one really knows. Stax works in mysterious ways!

Sorry Knucks. That is a long life!

Also the 80s sometimes.

Well, our taxes will be going up about 1/2 a Porsche per annum (don't know what this is in BAI anymore now that he's all upwardly mobile) under the new Fuck The Blue States regime -- so that seems like a fair start on the biscuit misery train?
