recovering rock musician writes book

The Blood Orphans are coming to town, and you will want to read about it. Written by 'recovering rock musician' Michael Shilling, the book Rock Bottom is obviously a must-read. Although why exactly it would be set in Amsterdam eludes me completely.

I saw you join his group on Facebook and was instantly intrigued. I can't wait for publication. It should be a solid read.

... whereas Liesbeth got it from me (I think?) and I got it from Adam. Sometimes facebook can actually be a useful source for information!

Sounds like this should be a fun read... and it's available on the german/austrian amazon. Neat![/b]

T'is a description of the singer's general vim, verve and vigor.

Actually, that question is answered in the book, in an interview with the author at the end.
I finally got my copy and I'll dive right into it once I'm finished with Mr. Arthur C. Clarke.
Oh and here's an interesting interview.

It's important to note, if for no one else but us, that Michael left the band a long time ago. So his characterizations of the Long Winters are valid only up to 2003, if then.

Have they changed for the better, or...?

The co-writer is also "Doctor Diabolicus", frontman for the group "DIAMOND DEAD". Now why does that sound familiar to me?

Something straight-to-DVD?
