I bought the album after everyone raved about it, but just can't be arsed
listening to it.  It's just dull dull DULL.

The Delgados are about the only decent thing on Chemikal Underground.
Can't be bothered with Mogwai either.

with support from Dawn of the Replicants who are also terribly ace.
That's how I'm spending my Valentine's Day - at the Ultrasound concert.

BTW, the NME tape that Ultrasound are on is the Oxford Sound City tape - I
raked it out last night.
