_Urban Hymns_ was pretty much constantly at number one in the UK album
charts last summer.  I got really bored with the sight of that bloke with
the big nose walking through Hoxton with a bad attitude. :)

See? :)  I really think there's something wrong with getting an anorexic
teenager to wear too much makeup and a school uniform two sizes too small,
and have her singing "hit me one more time".  (But maybe I'm just a puritan
:)

BTW, the Atari Teenage Riot album rocks big-time!  Think Napalm Death meet
the Prodigy and their bastard child gets all the best genes!
