Morning all!
I just want to boast that I visited the amazing Tayyabs last night with the fabulous Monty and Wanderlust. Dry meat FTW!

I am now totally hungover and have a load of work and a 300 mile drive in the snow and ice.

Contrast your good/bad experiences here my people!

Alt Q:

What's for breakfast?

I know it's a fucking awful track, but the best example I can give of this problem is a track from a few years back - Jamelia - Beware Of The Dog. It used the tune of 'Personal Jesus', but gave it some bass, and a bit of agression.

My latest find is a 70s obscurity called Leaf Hound and their sole LP 'Growers of Mushroom'. It's a kind of Free/Zeppelin/Purple kind of heavy rock record, with lovely vocals* and some decent guitar/organ workouts.
