THE CASE FOR CDs

If we'd been using CDs for 40 years and somebody suggested we should scrap the idea, and instead press a groove into a lump of soft plastic and play it by dragging a diamond through it, we'd all think they were nuts!

Vinyl was an amazing achievement - amazing it worked at all - but now it's old technology. Let it die peacefully.

NO WAY! We'd miss the crackles!!

 

ALBUM REVIEW: HIGH LAND, HARD RAIN by AZTEC CAMEERA

Released on the Rough Trade label when "indie" music was still independent, this was Roddy Frame's finest hour.

Opening with the classic Oblivious, the album contains some delicious melodies which blew away the post-punk cobwebs.

Roddy not only sang, he wrote and arranged all the songs at the tender age of 16.

Nick O

Yes, a truly great talent...

A SHORT, WEIRD POEM

Some people think I'm weird
Some people think I'm strange
Some others say I'm "different"
I just think I'm afraid

The world is a mad place
Because everyone is scored
We can't settle our differences
So we turn our fear into hatred

We need to face the demons,
then Can we live in peace

Dayv *M*, A Weird Place

You're INTO being weird!

THERE'S NO WEIRDNESS ONLY DIFFERENCE
