Weirdness. One night a few weeks ago I accidentally caught _Top of the Pops_ (a bit like catching clap these days only more embarrassing and painful) on TV and there was yet another of those girlie threesomes, this one doing a truly execrable r'n'b-talk-rap over a largely untampered with backdrop of Gazza's _Are Friends Electric?_ (sans Gaz, natch). Incongruous to say the least. Scary. A couple of nights later I switch on and there's _TOTP_ again and there's Gary hunkering down (with a miraculous rug regrowth) apparently transported (complete with regulation issue axe hero grimace) by some nasty overdriven block chords he was excreting out over a vapid piece of bombastic sub-metal toss. What next? The Ultravox revival? Destiny's Child gyrating to their new take on _Vienna_ (This means nothing to me, boy, yay yay yay...). Bring it on (NOT!) alan/beyond...sound Quoting N3O OUIJA <neoouija@hotmail.com>:
