Post Everything by Luke Haines (Auteurs/Black Box Recorder)

Having previously read Bad Vibes by the same author.

Particularly entertaining if you were around for, and had any interest in, brit-pop.

Haven't read an honest to goodness novel in ages.

I think I have gone beyond merely observing art.

To being a living work of art.
