At last! The question I've been waiting for: Tami wrote:
can anyone reccomend some good cheese to me? I like cheese a lot, especially gouda. Is Swedish cheese good, or would I just be wasting my time?
Far from it, Tami. I've had Swedish blue (no sniggering at the back) and I have to say it rules. It's like Danish blue, only better (maybe cos you can guarantee Peter Schmeichel's relatives were never involved in it). There are other kinds of Swedish cheese, you can buy them in IKEA along with maribou chocolate (God's own chocolate, you know), but they're more of your bog standard 'slice them up and stick them on your ryvita for breakfast' variety. I can't remember what any of them are called of course. Elsewhere, I've already sung the praises of Islay cheese. Cambazola rocks. Lancashire smoked cheddar is damn good. St Nectaire, Bavarian smoked cheese...the possibilities are endless. When Pulp went to Sweden, Russell asked the promoter there if he could try some of the local herring. The promoter backed away, saying "No, no, we don't have any of that". It was only later that Russell realised the guy thought he'd said 'heroin'. Jake wrote:

Uncut, eh? Anyhoo, the song's "You and your sister" which is a cover of a Chris Bell (from Big Star) song and one of the best things TMC ever did, apart from "Song to the Siren" (the "famous" one) which is lovely. If you're prepared to wade through a lot of Dead can Dance type nonsense which leans worryingly towards Goth, there's a couple of goodies on the first LP, and the third one "Blood", That's the one with "You and your sister" and a couple of other pretty good songs, which I've forgotten the names of. I'm no bloody help at all, am I? Corpora wrote:
Fantasy cover.... ummm..... I'd love to hear the Roches(#3) have a go at "The Boy Done Wrong Again".
My fantasy cover is a particular Canadian girl I met in Glasgow earlier this year, covered in Swedish blue cheese.
