Franz Ferdinand. If they haven't crossed the pond yet, they're awesome - imagine all those 1981 Glasgow bands like Orange Juice and Josepf K and (yeah) the Fire Engines, with a lot of Wire-y Art-punk, lashed together with Jarvis Cocker's way with a classic song. And they're in the fucking top 5! Angular, dancey, arty - they're the best new guitar band I've heard in about 5 years.
We have to see the chimp playing hockey! That's hilarious! The ice is so slippery, and, and monkeys are all irrational. We have to see this!

t Waves at Jim, whom I haven't 'seen' in a really long while, ignoring my embarrassing lack of understanding too much of his post How are you?

(belated) Congratulations! Yay you!
IIRC, your girlfriend used to work for a museum (but not The British Museum anymore), right?

Now I'm going to imagine her as that blond Watcher who has written her dissertation on Spike in "Checkpoint", or at least with a similar accent.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Congrats, Jim! I hope you and your lovely Watcher are having a wonderful life together.
