Four of the eight free range hens and one rooster that reside on my family’s farm. They are free to go wherever they please, whenever they please and put themselves to bed as they choose. There are a few who are particularly fond of human company and they visit the house often. The chickens’ house… Read more »

Kings of Leon at Vector Arena

Posted by & filed under Music, Film & Books.

Holy jizz-in-my-pants, last night was amazing, epic, brilliant, beautiful, magnificent and marvellous, among other things!

One of my favourites at the moment. Makes me want to dance! Featuring Kanye West, Lykke Li and Santogold. ETA: There isn’t an official video for this, so that is why you are looking at pictures.
