Would you like to take me to a movie Linus?

I was psyched to see this make it's way onto YouTube after having missed it on the telly over 15 years ago. I had several HB records before I even knew what they looked like, still have them too.

Brighton rarely produced anything good and even thought it looks dated now this was sick at the time.

For chaos, obscurity and desolation.

L.A. part 3 - the opening night of the show.


French and I had done a couple of interviews during the day...

...then it was Sam's turn! They asked him how come he was there and he said he came in over the back fence!




With projections you're inevitably gonna get shadow puppeteers.





Mr and Mrs Nate. Good lads.







Das boot.




The joys of Venice beach.

Our hire car number plate - amazing!

These coffins represent the death of some innocent american civilians like waiters, electricians and school teachers who were killed totally unexpectedly in a war they weren't paid to be involved in and didn't volunteer for. Oh, wait a second...

Santa Monica pier.




Seeeeaaagullls!

Live Undead.

L.A. part 2.

Brunch and Derek down the Mandrake.

Beer-Henge.


Dethkills. Cheers for the Aleister Crowley badge.



I haven't laughed as much as this moment in a long time.


Stolen beer.


All back to French and Sam's room at the hotel, complete with randoms from the bar.





Venice.






We talked to this guy for a while. I didn't understand most of what he was banging on about but he kept repeating that he was "a very serious christian". Nobody's perfect eh?




The new Venice beach park.

Comes with stinkbugging kooks as standard.

I asked Zoltar to make me big.

I just got back from L.A. with Rachel, French and Hastings Sam.

This pipe was about 2 blocks from our hotel.

The point of the trip was the Scion installation that had a video we made together as Funeral Fog. French had some merch shipped over for the gallery shop - the box contained a surprise from Stu the screenprinter!

"Alan's is this big"

Sam had the worst wallet in the world - it nearly got thrown out when somebody thought it was rubbish lying around.

Our hotel.


That was bullshit - In 'n' Out Burger was rank.


Didn't get to skate the Supreme bowl (the shop was open) but went for a look anyway.


Yeah right!


Just think - The Beach Boys were in there once.

I only took photos of 2 stars on Hollywood Boulevard - this one and Destiny's Child - what does that say about me? I couldn't find Ozzy's.

Friday Morning.

On tape, the format of Kings. Bargain.

Big Sur.

Camarillo, CA. 9.20am

So we left LA last night and headed north on highway 101. We stopped at a motel instead of falling asleep at the wheel, probably a wise move.

LA was really good fun, the show went well and French's mates showed us a good time. Cheers to all at the Scion Gallery, the security who kicked us out of the full pipe for being cool and not performing wrestling moves on us and all the drunks down the Mandrake bar for dancing with Sam.

Today we're starting up the Pacific Coast highway stopping to gawp at anything we like the look of - hopefully including monster waves crashing off the cliffs of Big Sur, migrating whales, diners with waitresses called Missy and signs that say "World's biggest Donut, next left".
