I say the new album is sellout central and really good. Throwaway pop that is methed up Phil Specter or George "Shadow" Morton and makes good driving music. I think Bow Wow Wow's Candy" was used as a template for this one.

Is that Hugh Laurie in that sketch? Nah, it's not working for me as it's only available in the US. I'm getting this message.

Jack T, can't help being curious as to what that book might say about Sweden. Is she enjoying reading it? Or is it a must from school...

Withahip, now since you mentioned it, slight resemblance...

It's for school.

Is she enjoying it? I can't imagine that she is.

The book appears to cover a range of topics including The Monarchy and exports, and has the same sorts of pictures found in my German language textbook from the '80s, in which two European-looking people sit at a table in a Restaurant, or look at a map together.
