Here's Johnny!

I sold my soul for rock 'n' roll, but now my wife wants to trade it for a kitchen

It’s all go here at the minute what with the Easter Hols and our (well, Mrs effay’s) decision to equip the Little House on the Flatlands with a new kitchen. Cue arguments, indecision, and interminable visits to DIY shops; and that’s before we even get round to buying it and I have to fit the fucking thing.

Still, it’s not all doom and gloom (although it is in a manner of speaking). Thanks ever so much to the anonymous benefactor who sent me that vast supply of metal via undercurrent. I’m nowhere near working my way through all of it yet, but can already say that Napalm Death are much better than I thought; Godflesh are as good as people told me; Celtic Frost aren’t, but they’re still okay; and everything else I’ve heard so far has been highly entertaining. The Little effay has been dancing to Earth, but looking askance at a lot of the other stuff: All that Coil and Krautrock I played to her whilst in the womb seems to have paid off then. Mrs effay’s reaction has not been favourable, but at least she has lots of kitchen catalogues to console her.

Thanks also to kek-w for my prize which will receive its premiere in the Little House in the next couple of days.

In other news: I found the new Dr Who quite promising, if a little frenetic; it will be interesting to see how it develops. I am currently checking the BBC news about once an hour to find out whether the Pope has died yet.
