Away

I'm kind of 'on holiday' from blogging right now, trying to finish the third issue of Ultraskull (not work safe) and rehearsing for the upcoming tour. I have written an article about the state of live music in the UK; it will feature in the November issue of Plan B magazine.

Homework

Exercise 1 a

For more on drug regulation strategies read the Transform FAQ.


Exercise 1 b

Can I just answer that in a world without drugs we wouldn't have photos like that?

In fifty years time when you can buy McDrug Burgers at the local fast-food outlet, you'll have to get used to sights like that all the time. Not particularly because of any promotional circus figures hoping to give you an obesity problem but because you'll just want to dress up like a clown. A fucking clown. It'll be around about then that you think about trying to fight a war on drugs because, let's face it, only a clown would think that could work.
