“I wish I could hit upon a pleasant track of thought, a track indirectly reflecting credit upon myself, for those are the pleasantest thoughts, and very frequent even in the minds of modest, mouse-coloured people, who believe genuinely that they dislike to hear their own praises.” - Virginia Woolf 'The Mark On The Wall'
@d0minic I wondered where they found that name. And 'The Atrocity Exhibition', there seems to have been a late 70's plague of JG Ballard inspired music :)
Thanks @stevekrohn glad you like it, it's my favourite of theirs. And a big thank you for following too! Hope you like the other book jams to follow :)
@Dominic If the are in this genre, I am sure I will love them. Pardon my complete ignorance on this one, but could you explain what book jams means or what it is exactly. Thanks
#BookJam - the inspiration for the name of the band is rather lovely. Off the top of my head, apart from the aforementioned Swans Way (sic) on my page, I immediately think of Elbow.

no worries @stevekrohn quite simply Jams that are either inspired or take the name of the song or the band from a book.
