Been listening to the LTM reissue of Section 25's "Love & Hate in the English Countryside" this afternoon. Forgotten what a great album this is - very overlooked. "From the Hip" is the S25 album to start with (superb Barney production) but L & H is a hidden gem. Any band that has the imagination to cover Erik Satie's "Gymnopidies" is OK in my book.
Hey, got my copy of Nothing a couple of weeks ago, and tis a very, very good read indeed, thanks for the recommendation; I was wrong about it being published here in the US, though. I'll check out the S25 album pretty soon, but I do seem to recall that a certain Gary Numan did a cover of that Satie piece that Bill Nelson termed 'blasphemous' for a b-side, not being a Numan fan, I couldn't tell ya though.

Geez, I've got that album, haven't listened to it in at least a decade, all I can recall is the wistfulness of My Shuttered Palace.
As for myself, the only things I played today was Mayors Of The Moon by Jon Langford And The Sadies, and Dragnet by The Fall, and I was reminded of one of my fave MES lines: "Do all these musicians have a social conscious? Well only in their frontrooms"
