[kj] Black Hole Chaos

[Darth E. Vader]

Well I missed the TV broadcast as I was at a Red Panda
gig in Liverpool.

I have Joanna Newsom on the stereo for the first time
after thinking I might end up being the last person on
Earth who hadn't heard her - harp music witch seems a
mellow antidote to Europe. Of course Europe is also a
KILLING JOKE song.

Hey, isn't this where we all began??????
