Well, I spent last night compiling a cd of John Frusciante songs to listen to in America next week. The drive to San Francisco from Los Angeles and back down the coast through Big Sur needs some serious tunes and Frusciante remains my absolute favourite at the moment.

This is what I meant to put up in here. Since driving to Lytham St Annes every morning, I've taken to listening to Radio 4. I know that makes me sound ancient, but it's really good.
