Hmm.  Perhaps MuchOnDemand will begin getting a mysterious fax campaign
requesting they play B&S until I see it, and considering I don't watch much
(pun intended) TV, they'll just have to keep playing it until, by law of
averages, I see it.So exactly what day is the Wedge on?  I keep forgetting
if it's Friday or Saturday night, and I always seem to tune in on the day
that it's not on, and get assaulted by the appropriately titled "Loud"
(metal for days).  NOt what I need late at night....
And yah, Sook-Yin's an idiot - though I'm not sure how much is her fault and
how much is Prime Directive from Moses upstairs ("we want kooky!  Slip some
speed into her coffee...").  I remember the one time she interviewed Lush,
and the best question she could come up with was, to Miki, "So what do you
use to dye your hair?".  I'm surprised she didn't get decked, cause Miki was
looking thorough unimpressed in a "let's get the fuck out of here" way.

And on a separate note, I bought "...Seconds Of Light" this weekend.  Mmm,
new B&S.  Happy days.  Also got Sparkehorse, the new Spiritualized live and
the new Golden Smog.  Good music haul.  That is all.
