[kj] OT: Swans recommendation

[Leigh Newton]

True, indeed. Buz also used to be on the list as well. 

Damn, you don't see too many Chrome shirts around.

Speaking of Chrome, one of the Gathering's own has played with them  
(ALEPH!)

I live right next door to a restaurant. Every Saturday morning, one  
of the cooks (at least I think he's a cook), comes out with an iPod  
for a ciggie break. He's usually wearing an Iron Maiden shirt. We  
usually nod at each other or throw the goats or some stupid shit like  
that (he's noticed I frequently sport a `Joke shirt). I saw him this  
week wearing a CHROME shirt, and I had  even more respect for him.
