Just when I’m thinking it couldn’t get any worse, the date creeps on me and I realize there are people who have suffered in much worse ways, like having to choose between jumping to a certain death and incinerating in an office building. So perhaps I shouldn’t sit here and feel sorry for myself anymore.
Not saying I’m giving up completely, but…

“If I Should Fall From Grace”
This is a documentary about Shane MacGowan about what a lyrical genius and an unrepentant drunk he is, and it’s just f’ing awesome, I must say. Cameo appearance/interview segments with the fabulous Mr. Nick Cave abound. There’s a bonus sing-along feature and an interesting little outtake of Shane peeing in the bushes. Klassy with a … Read more
