Television
Adverts only. They tell you so much more about what sort of programme you're watching, and more to the point, who you're watching it with.
Books
Can't stand the things. Good for heating texan churches, though. You only need a medium size furnace to dispose of billions of words. And we all know what words can do. I'm happy with my sticks and stones.

You can sneak up on the audience while they're distracted by somebody's face, and really make them feel it subconsciously. It's occult.

Horribly, some of the half-finished tunes that have been fermenting in the Lo-Fi Larder have evolved semi-sentient life - and are oozing and squirming their way to a gig near you ...
All change in Gronk’s Lo-Fi Larder! 4 new tracks and 2 oldies, all themed around the winter weather that cradles this little island like a cold water bottle … Put your feet up with a glass of mulled whine and sample the latest batch of home-made aural marmalade from my Lo-Fi Larder … Come on in, you’ll catch your death …
‘BURNT OFFERINGS’ is the amazing new EP from CARNIVAL OF SOULS.
Featuring four of the band’s most popular live tracks, professionally recorded, painstakingly mixed and presented with exclusive artwork, ‘BURNT OFFERINGS’ is available for download from the official CARNIVAL OF SOULS site at www. freeyoursouls. net …

Nice one bro. All our tutors are pro drummers. Hence the name. It's all about the Drums and passing on this beautiful tradition and the all of the skills to the next generation. If we don't we all get replaced by Drum Machines and we can't have that. Thanks for your comment. Please spread the word. Take care. From all of the team at Pro-drum

Happy birthday for Friday your holiness! Sadly I won't be making it to The Great Brain Robbery - got rocknroll antics already planned with one of my best friends who hardly ever comes to London, (gutted - I so wanna see the Amateur Transplants!) but have a great time and wish Gus a good event, and the rest of the boys a good gig for me!
