After the flurry of comments left about yesterday's entry, I'm kind of inclinded to keep posting photos of half-naked surf gods. Hopefully I won't alienate anyone by writing about a book I just finished reading. It's by the lead singer of Franz Ferdinand and is a collection of columns he wrote for a U.K. newspaper about his food adventures while on tour with his band. Having worked in a variety of restaurants, he turns his culinary experience and a truly experimental attitude towards food into witty, insightful essays about life on the road and the food that he encouters along the way. Things like pufferfish in Japan which will kill you if not properly prepared and bull's balls in Spain which, I have to admit, made me a little squeamish when I was reading that particular entry. The book is kind of a back stage pass to what life is like when the band plays their final encore on stage and how they fill their time until the next show in the next town. A fast fun read.

Is Kelly related to A.C. Slater?
Do you like Iggy & The Stooges? They are coming to Boston (The Orpheum).
The greatest opening to any movie and it's soundtrack is Trainspotting where they burst out onto the street, and "Lust for Life" starts playing. It's awesome!
What about the Andrew Sisters? Are they still touring with the USO?
Steve, you're showing your age. My grandparents were fans of the Andrew Sisters.
