Firstly, let me apologise once again for the lack of a column last Friday. After trying for a while, I’ve finally found myself a new job. But the hours are difficult and getting myself into a new sleeping routine has thrown the last two weeks into chaos. It was also my birthday a couple of days ago (June 12th), so this week I’m afraid the column will sacrifice my usual writing to bring you the most important stuff: the music. I will say ONE thing though: the Jagwar Ma album ‘Howlin” is an incredible piece of work… Check it out forthwith…
