The Normal - Warm Leatherette

Its a slow news day and I cant seem to muster the energy to write anything of substance. Plus its the weekend, so I thought Id throw some random tunage your way. Theyre all so good that they… (in post Fever for cowbell from Rock Sellout. Download this at Amazon iTunes)

Forget being stranded on a desert island, its almost the end of March and it feels like it's the middle of winter, its blowing a blizzard outside, its freezing, its too cold to leave my warm home without a good reason. I guess I'm kind of stranded indoors.

So here I am sitting looking out the window at this miserable Scottish weather wishing I was stranded on a beautiful and warm deserted island, {somewhere in the Caribbean would do very nicely}. So I thought why not create my own version of that well known radio show My Desert Island Disks.
