Sawaddee Gang of (1)4(30), Thai Fact (but maybe fiction): Today was Khao Phansa, the first day of the rainy season, so if you had to go out I hope you were all very careful not to step on any little growing shoots or tiny creatures that the rain might have brought forth.

Search for "Isobel;leg;love;paper;Brad" and you'll see that there can be no more ardent suitor than Brad.

Not only because a couple of lovely listees get thanked on the cover, but also because of the beauty of the songs and the clarity of the recording, which makes it sound like they're right there playing in your car/front room. Vaguely reminiscent of the Incredible String Band too - must be the bowed double bass. (Or sawing cellos, if you're Honey :) ) "Like Belle & Sebastian with farting noises" thelastresort/James Moore Oh, and the band are nice blokes too. I trust that new girl Magda had to spend the requisite time in the nursery before being allowed to post - welcome. Poxendale looked older than I somehow imagined them to be on the Pyramid stage on Saturday. Stuart looks cute in Time magazine, doesn't he?
