Really? I think I have that, but it sounds as if I've never played it.

There was that live album "death and night and live" taken from the AS tour wasn't it? Skin Deep is on there and they're clearly using the radio mics cos Hugh says something just before Skin Deep kicks in I think that's the same gig as the "Anomalies" bootleg CD, which lists Ski...

I don't know what any of that means, but the one thing that stands out for me is right at the very end of "Tank", where Jim doesn't do the drum twiddly bit the same as the original.

Barman: That bloke who played the villain in Skyfall came in here last night and started a fight.
Customer: Javier Bardem?
Barman: No, but he's on a warning.

Well, the link is here: http://www.themeninblack.co.uk/gallery/index.php but it doesn't seem to be working. I've an idea that I read that it had been taken down because it wasn't being used, but I can't find where I saw that so I might have imagined it. I'm sure there used to be something that pulle...

JJ could do better financially and creatively on his own as would any other talented and creative song writer. Do you think? I'm not sure whether any solo album he put out now would do all that well for him financially, other than with interest from Stranglers fans, which isn't really a big market....

As I've done with every other line-up change since I first saw them, I'd go along and have a look, and see what it's like. I'd prefer to decide whether they're worth seeing by going to see them than by what some other people I've never met think.

Jesus is up on the cross, and he's calling out "Peter, Peter". Word gets back to his disciples, Peter goes to see visit him but unfortunately cannot get past the Roman guard. He tries, and tries, and tries some more, and the guard gets so annoyed with him that he chops off Peter's right ar...

Are they down to a three-piece now?

Mr Sprats 21st Century Popular Motets, weren't they a barber shop quartet from Bristol? Before my time, but the name sort-of rings a bell.
