Burning Up Time - The Stranglers and Hugh Cornwell Unofficial Forums

Went out for a Chinese last night. When I asked the waiter for the Specials, he brought me too much foo yung.

I saw some of The Cure's set, didn't do much for me but then I don't really know their stuff. The first four or five songs just seemed a bit slow for a festival headline set to me.

I seem to pretty much hate everything I hear on the radio these days! I used to, but I find a lot of it is growing on me. I listen to Radio 1 while I'm working on the car, and it's surprising how much they play that I don't dislike. There's still a lot that I do of course, but plenty of it is quite...
