Right now I actually consider the Placebo cover of 'Running up that Hill' equal to the Pet Shop Boys version of 'Always on my Mind' - that's how good I think it is.....

You know you got a good thing going fashion-wise when Kim Behnke scowls disapproving at your jacket as you pass him on the street....

and two reminders:

a) Today is the international Talk Like a Pirate day, so remember to greet all ya shipmates with an 'ahoy' or simply 'arrrr'!

b) Tickets for the The Black Rebel Motorcycle Club gig at Voxhall went on sale today - be there or be left behind the NWOAC (that is New Wave of American/Alternative Country)
