Ruth MCCurry asked: "Does anyone know anything about Michael Head and/or The Strands? I don'twant to rush out and buy it if it's some Blue Nile crap. " Michael Head is a true genius. His tearjerking story is told in a remarkably frank interview in today's NME, so I won't bore you all withit here. Suffice to say, everything he and his brother have recorded (as The Pale Fountains, Shack, or The Strands) is fantastic. They're nothing like the Blue Nile. Can you really think the Blue Nile are crap ? I think they're gorgeous. Ho-hum. Cheers, Adam. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
