Cheering up

Published 1 Week Ago by, Joe

I'm feeling a lot less shaky now, however I keep myself up trying to think of how I could have avoided the whole affair.

I just received my copy of "Grown Backwards", a fantastic, elegant album from David Byrne. Reminds me of ambient music you'd expect to hear on a seaside market.

Just go and read the journal.
