You can get The Idler from Dillons Bookshop as well. I picked it up onnce, following a similar recommendation from McRagtag. It had Alex from Blur on the cover, and (unless I'm very much mistaken) he was having flying lessons. Being terribly working class, all this just contributed to my impression of its crapness. But it's only fair to point out that everything I saw seemed crap on that particular day. It was in Leicester. Funkyseb: Not ska again, please! Mick is a fantastic trumpet player and, no doubt, a great bloke, but ska? No. Sorry, No. I'm very much in favour of ska music. I'm going to get some one day. Quite possibly "The Best of Don Drummond", who murdered his wife. Probably because she said Don was a great trombone player and, no doubt, a great bloke, but ska? No way, Don. 2-Tone is my cup of tea too. Do Nothing. Ska is one of the poppiest forms of pop in pop history. Speaking of wife murdering, the neighbours are arguing. It looks like there's more chance of husband murdering though. Tomorrow we're going to a pre-nuptial celebration in some vulture infested mountains, enabling us to play my favourite form of Chicken - who can lie still the longest. I hope those Liverpudlian ones from The Jungle Book are there. Jake: (Sorry to seem like I'm gloating that I've got the cd, I'm just overcome with joy, and remember GOOD THINGS COME TO THOSE WHO WAIT 3 weeks and a bit) That's okay, Jake. You've just earnt yourself a huge amount of bonus points for liking the unreleased album in a different order to the one chosen by the band. I haven't really been keeping score on the Kudos Kompetition, but there seems to be a flurry of late entries at the moment. Extra points for people who subscribe to the list purely for the pleasure of gloating. When's Sarah coming back off her holidays? I'm looking forward to some nice ink polaroids and the return of her caustic napalm wit. At times like this her absence is a yawning chasm of emptiness.
