Selfish Bastard		The text of which is here and, in case the title didn't give it away, this one has swearing. Lots of swearing. It's not even vaguely safe for work (unless you have headphones on).
Farrago Entry September 09		Performing “Driving me Crazy” and “Glass” at the Farrago Autumn Slam in September 2009. It was very cold (sitting in the draft) and I had food poisoning. Recording by Richard Frost
