Highways of Gold.

I just got home from a month in Europe with Jaguar Love, the tour started in Sweden.


Where the sunsets at 3AM.



And rises at 4AM.

We stayed at a hostel in a very quaint little town.







Quite, Calm, Simple, a great way to start the tour.

I wanna see movies of my dreams.

happy tree friends vs. regurgitate.

Ian Curtis' Gravestone Missing



"It's not really how we want to kick off our holiday weekend, but we just got the sad news that the gravestone of Joy Division's Ian Curtis has been stolen. The headstone simply read "Ian Curtis. 18-5-80. Love Will Tear Us Apart."

BBC Manchester reports that it was stolen from Macclesfield Cemetery sometime between Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday morning; and Chesire police are asking people to contact them if they have any information. You can do so here.

A police spokesperson told BBC "There is no CCTV in the area and there are no apparent leads as to who is responsible for the theft. This is a very unusual theft and I am confident that someone locally will have knowledge about who is responsible or where the memorial stone is at present."
