Vitamin Fuzz

Three episodes in and still brain-dead and rusty. I guess it's how it goes, Rust Never Sleeps when you're rockin' to sounds of the "Six Six Sixties". Vitamin Fuzz greeted May with schizo echoes of sunshine sprinkles and wet shiny drizzles and insomnia clicks and sunrise clanks. Though the first hour highlighted the softer side of the vitamin with freaky-folk-hippie-jams... yes flutes, bongos and all; you can only sniff a hi-lighter so long before the scroking noise and endless delay kicks in!
