Sinister: Sweden is the new Scotland

[duke of harringay]

Big thumbs up for Blood Music. The 'Sing a Song Fighter' album is  
delicious and is a highly recommended autumnal purchase. The song  
'Wintercold' is just swoonsome.

And speaking of newspapers, did anyone else see Bob Stanley's piece  
in The Times today about C86? Way to make a guy feel old, and all  
that, but it was pretty cool regardless. I am all aquiver in  
anticipation of the shows next week.

keep the faith
