NEW YORK SATURDAY 9th October, 2010

WOW! That was a big one! Took me all morning to recover....So, after the heart-stopping sensation that was Madison Square, I thought I'd take the opportunity on my day off to go get my gnarly black mop-top hair cut. It was looking pretty shaggy, and I got something nasty stuck in it when I slept in that skip. I thought it'd be easy to get a trim in The Big Apple. I mean, how hard's it to do my style?. "Just make it look like the Beatles crossed with Keith Richards from the 60's mod era..." Big mistake. I only saw these heads in the barber's window, after I got my hairdo done in this place.

I mean...who in their right mind would put these in the window to advertise their business. I mean...really? Does anyone need a haircut like this? So the upshot is I now look like a Styrofoam version of Kraftwerk. Went straight out and bought myself a new hat to cover it up...Some stupid hipster trilby. It's all I could find since I lent my proper 'skull n' crossbones' cap to the Gorillaz live drummer...the swine.

So next up a quick trip to my favourite skeleton and taxidermy store, Evolution, down on Spring Street. Great place to pick up some pricey dead stuff...the place is stuffed to the gills with all types of oddities and curios.....

a fine place to sit a rum n' rohypnol

So, that was New York, all bashed up Gorillaz-styleee. Nice. Next stop? A breezy Sunday afternoon stroll through Camden, New Jersey. Back on the bus for us lot now. That vehicle's taking on a life of it's own. It looks like something out of Das Boot; a great big filthy submarine, dirty clothes everywhere, rubbish in the gangway and people sick with scurvy on the stinky bunks. And we've only really just begun....More tomorrow then, folks! x
