Another tormented genius has gone. New drugs and new music, perhaps. But the same old story. The torments are actually carried out on the broken bodies of women and gay men. “Troubled” masculinity kicks down, always down. Into the darkest places of all.

    Heh!

    I'm partial to a bit of reggae, at least it's usually tuneful!

    I've been busy moving house. I finally got my desktop out of mothballs a few days ago. It's good to be back. Thanks for missing me. :D
