Just a cheap pen thing, £21. I always hated it when I tried but it turns out the wife rarely changes her coil (stop it) and it's actually okay. I'll probably only need it when I'm drinking (same as cigs for the most part).

First time I heard A Sailor's Guide to Earth I hated it. I don't think I've ever changed my mind on and album quite so much as it's now his best for me, and therefore one of my favourite all-time records.

I'm not sure about the blaze foliage. Ideally yes, but realistically no. I'm down to one a week on average anyway, I still love a wee toke towards the end of my drink (hash only these days). Cigs would be maybe four a night at home - again, Saturday only - and [however I type the infinity symbol] if I'm out. If I keep tobacco in the house to roll a joint with I'd eventually smoke it too though, but the Dynavap thing I bought gives quite a heavy hit that I wouldn't describe as mellow. Maybe I'll start eating it

So I wasn't in a bad place with it all, 95% of my smoking was confined to one evening a week or the odd one here and there on a dog walk, but I want to knock that if I can. Tomorrow is two weeks, no tobacco no puff.

Ah I've listened to Sailor's Guide a few times, but it lacked the juke-joint stompers that I love (or at least it seemed to). I'm in no rush though, it's not like these albums are going anywhere.


Re. the cigs, I'm fine if I'm with the missus; I don't even use my vape if I'm with her. I've gone near a week before without any craving or anything. The difficulty is when I'm alone, or at work (which is uber-stressful recently); I'll very easily tab away repeatedly. Plus I tend to always have green in stock, and get through a couple a night on average (I find it better for me than boozing, which is what I'd do if no bud available).

I have a problem with addiction, basically.

Anyway, this ain't the thread for that, will get on that Sturgill this weekend. Hope the vapes go well for you, chief; we should have some sort of meet up at some point. I own a bolo tie, don't you know.

My vape just arrived.  Managed to survive the pub without smoking earlier, only had 3 drinks but I've been twitching all evening.

Also, my Original Album Series Little Feat box set arrived in the same package.  5 cds for £9.99.  WIN

My Sturgill Simpson can holder arrived in the post last week, just in time for a music festival I was going to on Friday.  

Lost it almost instantly.  Wasn't even drunk.  Pretty sure I just threw it away when I binned my first drink of the day.  So annoyed with myself lol.

Isobell song is great.  Time to dig out That Much Further West.

Such a great week last week was

A typical example of Todd Snider.  Cracking preamble followed by a half decent song.  I love him, he's recorded some really good tracks, but the whole shebang is where the fun's at:

ZOMG

HERE COMES THE HAPPINESS

Bloke's a genius

Just look at them all



Travelling Wilburys eat your almost as wonderful collective heart out.

Bah gawd, what a track!

he aint got laid in a month of sundays, i caught him once and he was sniffin my undies

He really does have a way with words hey? 

Have just been listening to his first album, for the first time.  Great stuff, and had no idea Spanish Pipe Dream was his song.  It was covered by Australian country legend Slim Dusty back in the day, never knew it was a cover til now.  In hindsight it’s clearly John Prine though!  ‘I knew that topless woman had something up her sleeve’ haha
