Bonaparte Shandy's latest activity

'My Early Burglary Years' is the only one worth bothering with, mainly on the grounds that it contains the majestic 'Nobody Loves Us' -...

Interesting idea. Lyrically, he's basically a one-trick pony. When the inspiration came from his experiences as a stick-thin layabout in...

We see what you did. Right there. Ooooh, you're a bold one, aintcha?

A little bit self-selecting ain't it Guv? What about songs that would (or have) driven you to the bar? Meat is Murder Black Cloud Life...

Not ONE mention of 'Black Cloud' (as far as we can see). God, what a terrible, terrible dirge . . . and that hysterical overwrought...
