well quite. Which is why i didn’t suggest THIS behemoth which would probably sound good played with a rusty nail for a stylus

There are two come to mind, and part of it is the packaging, because it’s nice when what’s on the vinyl record sort of matches the sleeve, isn’t it? Introspective by Pet Shop Boys. Early limited versions came out […]

Indecent proposal came out when i was in first year in college and i remember us chatting one day about the plot and Ger says that when his aunt heard it was about somebody sleeping with Robert Redford for a […]

Social engineering, innit. I mean, so much stuff we see of hackery etc, and what we think of hacking, computers’n’all…it’s a drop in the ocean. The *real* hacking is David’s brand of inveigling

I bought the first album on the strength of this I ought to go back to them.

nail head, there, (except maybe in 11.23.63 where the ‘monster’ is the Obdurate Past) His ear for dialog and deftness in drawing characters is second to none. Now, if he could stop quoting second rate AM radio […]
