Well, what did anyone expect Blacklisters debut album to sound like? If you’ve seen them live, the only worry you could have is that the visceral live show would not translate to a recorded full length, but by the 14th second of opener ‘Clubfoot by Kasabian’ (a note perfect cover, by the way), any fears … Continue reading »

The reason the Pentagon in Arlington, Virgina has so many toilets is because when it was built (1940), the state of Virgina still had segregation laws requiring seperate toilet facilities for whites and blacks. Fact. Continue reading »
What’s that? Tango?
It’s proving difficult to write this blog this evening, as all I really want to talk about it sausages. Oh, the sausages.

In the last post I mentioned that Slovenia was possibly the most important country I have ever visited in my life. In a way, this could easily be misconstrued as some usual Bills hyperbole. ‘Aw, it’s the best ever!’, ‘it’s my favourite!’, etcetera, etcetera.
