        Fantastic magazine, keep up the good work.

        • Based on the article in Plan B

          I now have the Duchess Says album, which is terrific. As is the nice note from the band.

              I had no idea Hauschka was now on fat cat.

            • That'll be t'Rank Deluxe mixing shit up.

              Hmm. Probably not really my thing, that CD. We'll see.

              • go go go go

                Throats Throats Throats!!!!!

                • "they

                  chunder their anger into song."

                  use that on a press release if you like. i'm like a perpetual quotation machine.

  • DATBLYGU???

    THIS HAS TO BE BOUGHT!!!

  • This sounds pretty awesome

    The FatCat Cd looks good too, espeically with Twilight Sad, Ten Kens etc.
    Anyone from the fair city of Nottingham know where it's possible to pick up a copy in the gun crime capital?

    • Selectadisc

      Pile on the counter downstairs... Waterstones sometimes have it as well

      • Ta very much

        That was surprisingly easy- ask a question, get a coherent reply...
        I'll probably have a look on me lunch.

        • WHSmiths has it

          i just bought it. and finally after 4 months the CD is attached!!!!!

          • this is because

            we've started nailing them on. with nails.

  • .

    Really great to see an article on Emanem, well written too.

    • and

      nice sleeves.

      am proud we're on a counter someplace. if anyone has a local rec shop where we're not sold - but shd be - lemme know.
