    Meanwhile...

    Seasons Greetings to one and all.

    Here's an idea I've been playing around with off and on for a few days. It was actually inspired by a small wooden sculpture I saw in a museum in Krakow (Poland) earlier in the year.

    It's called, "Keep holding on - with novelty reindeer antlers".

    That's fantastic Egg and very apt. Only yesterday I was left hanging in a looped message for 15 mins with no position countdown.

    not sure about that, but burk'n'ead band half man half biscuit wrote a song about them; it's a satirical take on merchandising; if you lookaround google you may get some interpretations on the lyrics that strive to be insightful, meaningful even, but if you listen to it, its a pi**take

    Ahhh, I knew I recognised 'Joy Division Oven Gloves'.

    Although I'm reasonably familiar with HMHB (via the days of John Peel) I don't think I've made it through one of their albums in one sitting yet. They've recorded some great tunes to whistle along to, but I find you have to be careful as they can become persistent earworms. I'm thinking 'Deep House Victims Minibus Appeal' - "Said the public sector leader, At the pre-launch breakfast briefing, Get your cheque books out..." (I'm humming it just writing this!)

    (pretty tasteless when all things considered - Joy Division + oven gloves)
