Just to let you know that The Face have reviewed the new record. This is from memory, as I'm not fashionable enough to actually buy the magazine. The title track is the Bay City Rollers recorded in a church hall. Seymour Stein is a country lament to the record company executive, and Is It Wicked Not to Care casts Isobel Campbell as a sixties folkstress. Sublime AND ridiculous. Pithy AND pissy, I'd say. Went to see Armageddon on Friday night. Don't bother! This film will give you a headache. I watched half an hour of it with my eyes shut because I couldn't bear to see any more stupid special effects. On to books, if any of you still haven't read The Wind-up Bird Chronicle, you are being very silly indeed. Another great one is Eucalyptus by Murray Bail, an Australian writer. It's a fairy tale and is totally lovely. XFM seem to keep playing the same three songs over and over again. Have they been sent a copy of the whole album, or just a selection of songs. I really want to hear Ease Your Feet... on the radio. The way that Stuart sings 'curl your toes' is the cutest thing I've ever heard.
