No, but my dad and his brothers were...

T Green
C Green
P Green

I narrowly escaped being called Genghis: Granny (Gertrude) Green put her foot down.

Who's Hughie Green?

I think it's a reference to barfing up a mountain of gua..gwo.. green stuff.

Hughie. Sounds like someone being sick.

I must try and get a copy of his union-bashing 'Stand Up And Be Counted' single. We used to play it at school and sing along for a laugh

Afraid the theremin's not midi-compatible... or much of a theremin, to be honest.

Hmm. That's not good. Being a theremin is usually a theremin's only talent.

For £40 that's what you get, sadly. Proper analog ones start at £100 minimum.

Firefox is being weird. !"£$%^&*()_

Then there's the porn version:

'Horton Hires A Ho.'

Well, here's an interesting link if you're interested in this sort of thing. It's a thread on a poker discussion board where Steve Albini (out of Big Black, producer of note) fields questions about his career and the Chicago music scene, and comes across as a bit less of an arrogant shithead than he did in the Pixies biography.

Gotta take a ride with these guys. http://www.busmietzentrale.de/tour-home.htm

Steve Albini's not that arrogant- he's a bit full of himself, but I've met worse. Alain Jourgenson, for one. K and I saw Shellac open for Iggy & the Stooges about a year and a half ago or so.

Humph is ill? I assumed he was immortal.

I sent him a limerick.

I'm sorry you're feeling so rough
But I know you're exceedingly tough
And we all hope that you
Return swiftly to Clue
Since you've clearly not suffered enough.

Great new government logo. Turn your head 90º left.

Probably actually very dangerous.
