Nothing music-related, though I could possibly use an empty whisky bottle as a slide to play some blues.

Nothing music related...But plenty of socks and chocolate...  It does remind me of receiving record vouchers as a kid in the 70s at Xmas though, and really missing those times...  Out of my own Xmas pocket money though, I did purchase the following CDs...  Strange News- Tradarrr. The Visitors- ABBA. Band of Joy- Robert Plant. |

A bottle of Glen Keith whisky, a set of 3 x 25cl Penderyn wisgis, a Guinness gift set - there's a theme here!
And to honour the memory of David Bowie, I managed to consume a box of Heroes in just one day.

Chris Frantz' book Remain In Love.
Psycho Killer was the first song the three of them wrote together with Tina contributing the French lyrics in the middle. There are then some lyrics Chris wrote for a song that ended up on the Heads' second LP. David Byrne tried to take the credit for the whole song which I think was a bit of an ongoing problem in the band. Looking forward to reading Chris' take on such things.
