From The Desk Of The Lilac Time’s Stephen Duffy: Joss Sticks

Stephen Duffy was the first singer in a little band called Duran Duran. He left them in 1979 and began a series of other musical projects before settling into the Lilac Time almost three decades ago with brother Nick. The band’s latest album is No Sad Songs. Stephen Duffy will be guest editing magnetmagazine.com all week.

Duffy: The big daddy Satya Sai Baba Nag Champa Agarbatti, manufactured by Shrinivas Sugandhalaya 8th Cross, Magadi Road, P.B. No.2318 Bengaluru, 560 023, INDIA. (No street view on Google maps.) They make other great incense, too: Sunrise, Midnight, Rain Forest, Celestial, Blessings, Fortune, Jasmine Blossom (I’m burning this right now), Sandalwood, Patchouli Forest and the frighteningly named Satya Super Hit. Jasmine and Sandalwood take me back to my bedroom in Birmingham, wondering whether I should invest in some of George Harrison’s latest works on Dark Horse. Back to the hours spent looking at the cover of the Incredible String Band’s Relics album. Joss Sticks poster-boy album. Back to the books and the quiet hours of page turning.
