The door to Plastic Beach's recording studio swings open with a creak, revealing a room awash in the dim glow of idle equipment. A single bulb flickers above a cluttered desk, where Murdoc Niccals lies slumped, face-down in a puddle of drool. Empty bottles and an overflowing ashtray frame his unconscious form like a shrine to excess. The radio gear is dead silent, sparing the world his drunken snores. You step closer, and the stale air of rum and regret wraps around you. Even a maniac can look this broken. What made you come here tonight, you?
