this came from last.fm when i was listening to malcy last night:

"In 2002, while in between Arab Strap albums, both he and bandmate Aidan Moffat pursued different solo projects, Moffat's being the ambient Lucky Pierre. Malcolm, writing lyrics and singing for the first time, recorded the cathartic 5:14 Fluoxytine Seagull Alcohol John Nicotine which dealt with the emotional fall-out of his relationship with ex-Kenickie singer/DJ/TV Presenter Lauren Laverne."
