Ooh ooh goodie, something to look forward to now, have decided to stop
being so cynical about music I hate this year and listen to some new
 stuff
too...will have a trawl through some of the feral stuff you filthy
 punks
have posted, if I can hold my lunch while listening I'm sure it's a
 step
in the right (?) direction...

Okay coincidentally my little bro just texted me to say Toto are coming
 to
NZ, he's all stoked. Sometimes I wonder...dunno anyone else that likes
Pantera, Slayer, and fucking Bon Jovi...TOTALLY violating the fucking
Manifesto.

But I'm not supposed to be thinking like that anymore...now where's my
badger...
