Yesterday I picked up Colin Newman's "A-Z" (I hadn't been able to find
it earlier because it was filed in the "Wire" section).  It is a truly
excellent album!  Run out and buy it.  Experience the joyful pain and
painful joy!

P.S.  Just to annoy people who are sick of hearing about Kate Bush, I
heard of Colin Newman because someone threw a couple of his songs onto a
tape of otherwise Kate Bush bootleg stuff.  Which just shows you what
great taste Kate Bush fans have!
