No need to wait.  You failed everything.

I'm just glad it's over though. I don't have a job this summer either, so it'll be complete free time.

I won't know what to do at certain points I imagine.

The Doors were essentially a roots rock/pop rock/blues rock (at different times) band which brought in half a million psychedelic elements but still kept very much in touch with the visceral essence of rock. I hadn't really thought of them as self-indulgent, for some reason, combining alcohol/drugs with rock music isn't self-indulgent , and The Doors aren't often particularly obtuse or difficult to understand. That's a pretty good argument. But still, self-indulgent doesn't mean bad.

*nods agreement*

Impressions of TAGM listen 2:

• It does sound like a VDGG album, even without the sax, overdubs or organo-massiv.
• The love songs are generally a shade better than the unusual psych ones.
• Despite this, I can remember the second half better than the first half.
  
• The title track is hilarious
• Ferret & Featherbird is probably the best thing I can remember, but it's still half as good as the one on In Camera.

I'll be drumming and composing, don't worry.

All I know is that it's some Hammill solo album.

Today sucks.

I'm going to get the mail.

Read about your adventures today; I hate crap like that.

WRONG!!!!

The Aerosol Grey Machine was originally recorded as a Hammill solo album with the presence of the members of Van Der Graaf Generator at the time, including Keith Ellis, Hugh Banton and Guy Evans. However, it was released, via a deal with the record company, under the VDGG name, thus making it their debut album.

Also, you needed to know that

Oh, that album.

I have that album around here somewhere, actually. Probably only listened to part of it.
