Need to share this news and rub it in my 15 yo’s obnoxious little face. The other day she had the nerve to tell me none of my music makes any sense, proceeded to sing PiL’s “rise” and asked “what the hell is that???” Little twerp. I love her.

I am very pleased to announce that Phil King/@junkshopper's 'Lush: A Far From Home Movie', is now on YouTube for all to see.
I very much enjoyed appearing with Phil last year at various events, at home abroad, discussing the film with him and the audience.
