The Gavle Goat goes up again... Feel slightly more human this morning... fucking cold though. Can't wait to relax in the sun on one of Sweden's more exclusive beaches... we're going to die up there aren't we? By the Sunday Jess and I will be sat with just a single flare left between us as John Carpenter plays us out. Some Swedish goat burning news made the BBC. More here:

The strange history of the G�vle Goat began in 1966. A man named Stig Gavl�n came up with the idea of making a giant version of the traditional Swedish Yule goat of straw and placing it on (Slottstorget) Castle Square in central G�vle. On 1 December the 13-metre tall, 7-metre long, 3 tonne goat stood on the square. At the stroke of midnight on New Year's Eve, the goat went up in smoke...

As Johnny pointed out in the previous comment, there's a lot of interesting music escaping from that part of the world... Once I've got these films out of the way I'll have to work out if anyone insane is playing Gothenburg while we're there... [Music: off]
