Cheese Man ,'Chosen'
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Isn't Skafish in Urgh?
Uh-huh.
Ahh yes. Athletico Spizz. Ooh, I forgot Magazine was in it. The first post-punk supergroup. (Although so many famous musicians passed through London SS that it seems like it deserves some notation even though they never recorded. Half the Clash, Half the Damned, Chrissie Hynde...)
Just back from seeing Centro-Matic. If they were most any other band, I'd say it was a great show, but for them it was just average.
Best thing at the merch table: a scatter chart of all their albums (they have a shitload). One axis ranked the albums from "Home brewedosity" to "Gleaminess", while the other axis ranked them from "Laidbackosity" to "Rawkedness".
