May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
I didn’t see the point of SMOG. I mean…the posting thing? I’m not concerned for myself. I don’t feel I have anything much to this group to contribute to be honest. I tend not to with any of the SM groups. Not posting to them myself anyway. Not very often. But I comment on posts…

Supporting The Anchoress for her London and Cardiff gigs is She Makes War. I really like the sound of what I hear and I’m looking forward to seeing her in a few weeks time. The Anchoress’s London date has sold out, but there are still tickets available for her Cardiff show on September 21st. You…
Don’t care how pathetic it seems…I miss the sexy beast!
