The Band concerned are called Multiplication Rock, and their "Three is a 
magic number" (much better than De la
Soul's, I reckon) is so good that whenever my mate Robin makes me a tape 
(of old funk and hip hop, mainly) he
insists on putting this song on yet again. Apparently, "Naughty Number 
Nine" is the other hit off the record,
but I've never heard it. I can try and get Robin to tape me the album if 
you like?

"A man and a woman had a little baby, yes they did - they had three-ee-ee 
in the family"

Also, is children's TV the only subject which really stimulates people? 
While I've been subscribing, Kafka,
Galaxie 500 and sodding Mysterious cities of gold have been the most 
popular threads, but enough is surely
enough. More importantly, me and a friend are working on a sitcom, but 
the "sit" bit is currently missing. I
would like YOU - yes, you! - to try and help us think of an amusing 
situation our characters could find
themselves in. Chew on that, my friends!

Gott a go bed - back in the studio in benighted Bow, East London, by 8 am 
tomorrow...

Love you all,
Marky C.

P.S Trousers - glad you appreciated the gesture. Gerard thought I was 
being an arse. There's no pleasing some
people!
