    sometimes it's the most banal issues that are the knottiest - google Norm Coleman for background if you need to.

  • Hard News: Listen to the Music,

    for mine it's kraftwerk vs stereolab, and not in a good way.

    all a bit twee for my ears. I think I'd done my dash with understated kiwi shoegazers quite some time ago.

    it's cos I'm black innit...

  • Hard News: Rain on his parade,

    Thought an eyewitness acct might be useful - I went up to where the protest assembled outside the comedy club. Maybe 100 people. Dunno what they were thinking but the sight of people lined up as far as they could see was bloody intimidating. They marched to a chorus of 'show us yer tits' the occasional round of boos, and a couple of lobbed drink containers. Heard one crazed woman in a tree seemingly supporting rape as freedom of expression, but also heard some geezers debating the nature of porn which was interesting. Got a very strong impression that most of the crowd were curious sightseers. And not as many as past years - well it is just down the road. Crow's input continues to be tawdry beyond belief. I struggle to see any appeal outside of the freak show factor, but then I've never understood those who enjoy getting their jollies in large groups. Still, kinda facinating to behold.
