“Like to Rock” Books & Records in the Kura
Hang out in Kura Barn studio with a batch of books and records I keep on meaning to tell you about including NoMeansNo, Mudhoney, Blue Jay Valley, Buffalo Tom, REM & various with usual digressions, ramblings, sidenote and whatnot, and importantly, a blackboard running down the topics (for now and for later)
