LeLoup est mort, vive Leclerc!

OK it's been a while since I've really gone off and wrote about ... art, food, music, city life and other mental stimuli ...

Currently in the ScienceBlog forums (as well as in posts such as this), and under a variety of such non-descript titles as "The Search-Spammer has been Banned..." there is much discussion about music, good and bad, and how life is part of it. I'm a big music buff, less so now perhaps with the…

His face is way more pasty than 10-15 years ago, too.

From John The Wolf to John The Clerk is a big change...
His more recent music reflects that change as well; it's sad to say, but he's lost a lot of "je ne sais quoi" since Les Fourmis. Let's see how Mexico is...
