no, that was alistair and paul both of whom belong to the list's old people brigade so you should take what they say with a pinch of salt if you're one of the youngsters. the older people here, as i've pointed out before, have strange(r) tastes in music. i have big theories about this but someone's already had a go at me for mentioning it so i'll keep them to myself. and yeah, listening to things more is always helpful.

And I say: No, no, please tell us what your theory is! I guess I qualify as middle aged in this list's terms (being three years or so short of the duke's venerable tally (dotage? no...), but I guess I qualify as one of the strange(r) musical tastes lot. For example, my record buying at the weekend consisted of reggae (a roots compilation and some early 80s King Tubby dancehall 10"compilation), country music (an album of scratchy bluegrassy stuff by The Country Gentlemen and the See For Miles compilation called Open Country) and hip-hop (the new-ish Latyrx EP). Maybe that doesn'y qualify as strange by this list's standards. The fellow in the shop certainly gave me a funny look.
