Yeah, I had look after posting. Wow.

I was curious because the day before his death he had posted about setting up a commune type thingy. I had wondered if he had suddenly died due to violence or being attacked.

Lots of Lee Perry on GP’s 6 music show yesterday unsurprisingly. Great interview with Dennis Bovell in the last half hour. ‘You’re well, your name is Bovell!’
