    Byrne does come across as a sneaky enough character when it comes to acknowledging credits to tunes and stuff. Brian Eno also comes across as a bit of a dickhead with his eventual carry-on towards the group, there's a good a bit to sink your teeth into, especially for a big TH fans. And for...

    any of you read that Chris Frantz biography, Remain In Love ? Read it over the summer, enjoyed it, had some great insights into the dynamics of the band and their tours etc but overall he comes across as a bit of a prick.

    in the last week or so have lapped up Renegade : The Lives And Tales Of Mark E Smith and also The Big Midweek - Life Inside The Fall written by bassist of 20 years Steve Hanley. Both brilliant. Smith's one is hilarious. Hanley's less so but offers a much better, more truthful insight in the...

    What Book Did You Read Last Night???

    finished Irvine Welsh's Dead Men's Trousers. not too impressed. enjoyed it but bit of a ridiculous affair, even for the Trainspotting crew. Had forgotten that The Blade Artist was a book about Begbie post Porno era. Only realised it when reading a few reviews of DMT now. Will obviously give a...
