 | Blur The Universal - Damon Albarn has another musical project in the form of the Gorillaz - “Gorillas in the mist” is a famous film starring Sigourney Weaver - Sigourney Weaver shares the same surname as Nicky Weaver, who plays for Man City, whose famous fans include former Radio 1 favourites Mark and Lard - “Lard” rhymes with “Chard”, which is a town in Somerset - “Somerset” shares many of the same letters as “Marmoset”, which is a type of small hairy monkey found in Brazil - Brazil is the birthplace of goofy footballing genius Ronaldo - Ronaldo plays for Real Madrid, as does Michael Owen - Michael Owen shares the same surname as Sid Owen, who is most famous for playing Ricky Butcher - A butcher is someone who specialises in selling meat - “Meat” is an anagram of “team”, which is a word associated with sports - “Sports” was the title of an album by Huey Lewis & The News - Huey Lewis contributed much of the soundtrack to “Back To The Future”, starring Michael J. Fox - Michael J. Fox is Canadian, a bit like Avril Lavigne - and Avril Lavigne made up part of the all star bill at last years One Big Weekend in Derry, along with Keane, Franz Ferdinand, Kelis, Ash and of course Faithless, who also came to my birth(day) party, which they thought was great - Which links us to Faithless and We Come 1
- FLAWS: - Seamless probably. It’s a Friday so I ain’t checking. |
TRACK INFO: - Released June 2001
- Got to number 3 in The UK Top 40, spending 10 weeks in total on the chart.
- MC FACT ATTACK: - Undoubtedly a fine record, but it is a part time player on the R1 Playlist.. so I was slightly disappointed Dave didn’t go for Insomnia or an older dance tune. Always reminds me of Radio 1’s One Big Sunday in Leicester in 2001... I mean I never went or owt but I just remember it. Fact.
- ALBUM DETAILS: - You can get it on “Forever Faithless”, their new Greatest Hits CD, which entered The UK Album Chart at number one last month.

 | Blink 182 All The Small Things - Blink is what you might be forced to do if you got a bit of grit in your eye - “Eye Of The Tiger” was a 1982 hit for Survivor, and was taken from the sountrack to Rocky starring “Slyvester Stallone” - Slyvester Stallone’s mother Jackie was a guest on the last series of Celebrity Big Brother, along with Bez - Bez was a non musical member of the Happy Mondays, who were fronted by Shaun Ryder, who then went on to form Black Grape - The black grape will often contain a seed - If you add the word “lightning” to the front of seed you get “Lightning Seeds” who had a 1992 hit with “The Life Of Riley” - Riley first name Lisa used to be in Emmerdale, which is where you’d now find Patsy Kensit, who used to be in Lethal Weapon 2 - Lethal Weapon 2 also starred Mel Gibson and Danny Glover - If you swap the G of Glover for a C you get “clover”, which is a type of spread - Spread is what you might put on toast for breakfast - Breakfast is apparently the most important meal of the day and can consist of anything from bacon and eggs to fruit or cereal, such as cornflakes or All Bran - and All Bran is an anagram of “All barn” - Albarn of course, first name Damon, being the lead singer of Blur - Which links us to Blur and The Universal
- FLAWS: - They didn’t check due to Dermot being on, but yeah:
*If you add the word “lightning” to the front of seed you get “Lightning Seed” not the Lightning Seeds. Picky but true.
*Patsy Kensit “used to be in Lethal Weapon 2”. What - as opposed to the people who are in it now?
*I’m also not sure about the All barn - Albarn link. Phonetically granted yes, but Dave didn’t mention that for a second day in a row...... hmm I’ve just realised I have far too much time on my hands. |
TRACK INFO: - Released November 1995
- This awesome track deservedly went in top 5 (peaking at 5), spending a further 8 weeks on the chart.
- MC FACT ATTACK: - Not a fact, just a bizarre choice by Vitty. I mean I love this record, but when Chris played it on Buzz Off last year I remember Dave buzzing it off immediately and calling it “dull”. Seems like he has seen sense at last eh?
- ALBUM DETAILS: - You can catch it on November 2000’s “Best Of” Blur compilation, along with the usual favourites.. Parklife, Song 2, Country House, There’s No Other Way, Beetlebum etc.

 | Ce Ce Peniston Finally - Ce Ce Peniston’s “Finally” was first released in 1991, although it didn’t make it into the top ten until March 1992 - 1992 was the year that the Euro championships were won by joint host nation Denmark - Denmark is famous for its bacon - Bacon can be cut into rashes, which shouldn’t be mistaken for rashes which you sometimes get on your skin, and need to treat with cream - “Cream” was a hit for Prince and The New Power Generation - Generation X were the band that launched the career of Billy Idol - Billy Idol shares the same surname, albeit spelt differently, as Eric Idle from Monty Python - A python is a type of large snake, several of which used to be owned by Slash from Guns 'N' Roses - “Slash” is a slang term for a wee, which is also a Scottish term for small - Small first name Gladstone, is a famous cricketer from yesteryear who has a very small neck, a bit like comedian Sandi Toksvig - Sandi Toksvig shares the same first name as golfer Sandy Lyle, who is Scottish, a bit like Runrig and Travis - The band Travis are made up of Fran, Dougal, Andy and Neil, however there is another Travis in the world of popular music, and that’s Travis the drummer from Blink 182 - Which links us to Blink 182 and All The Small Things
- FLAWS: - Seamless according to Dave, but:
*Sandi Toksvig only shares the same first name as Sandy Lyle phonetically, which Chris is usually very picky about.
*Also, I’m pretty sure Euro 92 was only held in Sweden, not Denmark as well. I was only five years old at the time so If I’m wrong I have good reason to be. |
TRACK INFO: - Released March 2000
- This track spent 10 weeks on the chart and got to number 2, only kept off top spot by Geri Halliwell’s abysmal “Bag It Up”. Urgh what an awful record that was.
- MC FACT ATTACK: - Last play for this on Tedious Link was November 30th last year. Fact (short and simple).
- ALBUM DETAILS: - From their March 2000 debut “Enema Of The State”, which spent 32 weeks on the Album Chart and got to number 15.
Tuesday 14th June 2005 Link (MC) [Posted Friday, June 17 2005 by MC_]
 | The Clash London Calling - London Calling was released in 1979, the same year that “I Don’t Like Mondays” was a number one for The Boomtown Rats - Rats spread disease and are therefore considered vermin - “Vermin” sounds a bit like “Vernon”, as in Vernon Kay, who’s now on telly in America as the host of Hit Me Baby One More Time - “Hit Me Baby One More Time” was of course a big hit for Britney Spears - Spears were always the weapon of choice for the Zulu’s - “Zulu” was the title of a classic film starring Michael Caine, who also starred in The Italian Job - The Italian Job was based in Turin, and was parodied in the “Pick A Part That’s New” video by Stereophonics - Stereophonics feature two original members, both with the surname “Jones” - “Jones” is also the surname of our very own team members Rachel and Aled - “Aled” is an anagram of “Dale”, as in Dale Winton, the former host of Pets Win Prizes - The single form of prizes is “prize”, which is what you might have to do to your finger to release it from underneath a huge rock, if it had become trapped - “Trapped” was a 1985 hit for Colonel Abrams - and the word “trapped” consists of exactly seven letters, the same amount curiously as the word “Finally”, which was a big hit for Ce Ce Peniston - Which links us to Ce Ce Peniston and of course Finally
- FLAWS: - Nah, just Chris and Dave debating when this was released (see below for track info). |
TRACK INFO: - Released originally October 1991. then re-issued in March 1992
- In two chart appearances has spent a collective total of 15 weeks on the countdown, peaking first at no. 29 and then second time around at number 2..
- MC FACT ATTACK: - This is a gay anthem. Supposedly. Not that I’d know cos I’m not gay or owt. Mind you Aled told Dave he was gay for choosing it, so who am I to disagree.
- ALBUM DETAILS: - Available on the album “Ce Ce Peniston: Essential”, which you would think would only be one song long... but no, there’s actually 16 others on there too. Wowsers.
Monday 13th June 2005 Link (MC) [Posted Friday, June 17 2005 by MC_]
 | Bizarre Inc Playing With Knives - Knives are what you might find in a kitchen, along with pots and pans and a kitchen sink - “Sink” is what you hope doesn’t happen to you if you’re taking part in a round the world yacht race - “The Race” was a 1988 hit for Yello, who I think were from Austria - The capital of Austria is Vienna - “Vienna” was a 1981 hit for Ultravox, who were of course fronted by Midge Ure - “You’re The Voice” was recorded by John Farnham - “Farnham” is the name of a town in Surrey - Surrey is a county that plays cricket, and in that respect shares something in common with Warwickshire, Worcestershire, Yorkshire and Lancashire - Yorkshire and Lancashire are the two counties that took part in The War Of The Roses - “The War Of The Roses” was also the title of a 1989 film starring Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner, who also starred together in “Romancing The Stone” - Stone first name Joss was brought up in Devon, however she was actually born in Dover - Dover is approximately 80 miles from London - and when you think of London in the context of great records by The Clash, you think of course of London Calling - Which links us to The Clash and London Calling
- FLAWS: - Just your one today:
*Yello are apparently from Switzerland, not Austria. No one really gives a f*ck though do they frankly. |
TRACK INFO: - Released December 1979
- This classic punk anthem got to number 11, spending 10 weeks in the UK Top 40.
- MC FACT ATTACK: - The album this track came from (see below) was voted Best Album of the 1980’s by Rolling Stone Magazine, and The Clash were inducted into The Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame in 2003, the year after Joe Strummer’s death.
- ALBUM DETAILS: - Taken from The Clash’s third L.P, also titled “London Calling”. The front cover has become a classic image in rock and roll history... a t-shirt favourite.
Friday 10th June 2005 Link (MC) [Posted Saturday, June 11 2005 by MC_]
 | Tone Loc Wild Thing - Tone Loc is from California, as is Gwen Stefani, who’s married to Gavin Rossdale from Bush - “Bush” rhymes with “push”, which is one of two directional options on a door - A door is what normally provides your escape in the event of a fire - “Fire Woman” was a 1989 hit for The Cult - The Cult now consist essentially of founder members Ian Astbury and Billy Duffy - Billy Duffy shares the same surname as Stephen 'Tin Tin' Duffy, who had a 1985 hit with “Kiss Me (With Your Mouth)” - “Mouth” is a word that is often associated with the seaward exit of a river - River Phoenix is the name of a now sadly departed actor, who starred alongside Harrison Ford and Sean Connery in the 1989 film “Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade” - If you add an R to the end of crusade you get “crusader”, which is a model name of the last batch of Ford Cortinas - The Ford Cortina was replaced by the Ford Sierra - Ciara is a mate of Missy Elliott’s, who also probably knows Eminem and D12 - D12 is the rap collective that includes the musical talents of the fat dude at the back called Bizarre - and if Bizarre decided he wasn’t good enough to make it in the world of music, and wanted to set up a company that manufactured ink and fountain pens and photocopiers and stuff, he might call his company Bizarre Ink - Which links us to Bizarre Inc and Playing With Knives
- FLAWS: - Like none.. |
TRACK INFO: - Released November 1991
- Originally reached number 43 in March 91, but when re issued got to number 4.. spending 8 weeks on the chart.
- MC FACT ATTACK: - Released at the peak of the rave era, "Playing With Knives" is widely seen as one of the most important records of its genre, and is totally indicative of the time. Bizarre Inc were the headline act at all the major venues of the day and this was the record that crossed all mainstream boundaries - being played by Carl Cox, Danny Rampling etc. Tis a fact kids. Ta.
- ALBUM DETAILS: - From the 1992 album “Energique”, which never even made the UK Top 40 Album Chart. Bizarre Inc hits are available on all sorts of dance compilations, and this single still available to buy via Import on Amazon.co.uk > Click here for the link.

 | Reef Place Your Hands - “Hans” is a popular name in Germany, the birthplace of Boris Becker - Boris Becker plays tennis - Tennis is a sport you’d associate with Wimbledon, which is also the home of the Wombles - Wombles have big noses, which was also a characteristic of the Romans - The Romans were responsible for building lots of straight roads in Great Britain - Great Britain is who Zola Budd used to run for, even though she was actually South African, which incidentally is also the nationality that Patsy Kensit’s character was in Lethal Weapon 2 - Lethal Weapon 2 is a film that provided the now classic cinematic quote “diplomatic immunity!” - Immunity is what you should have if you’ve received a vaccine - The word “vaccine” comes from the Latin word “vacca”, meaning cow (educational) - Cowhide is used to make leather sofas - “Sofa” is another word for a “couch”, which is a word often grouped with potato - Potato is a good vegetable for making soup - The amount of letters in the word “soup” is exactly four - and Four Weddings And A Funeral featured the Wet Wet Wet mega hit “Love Is All Around”, which was written by Reg Presley from The Troggs, who also had a hit with “Wild Thing”, which was also the title of a 1989 hit by Tone Loc - Which links us to Tone Loc and Wild Thing
- FLAWS: - Not really:
*Some texters were saying Zola Budd was actually born in Rhodesia/Zimbabwe, but my research tells me otherwise. So bravo Dave. Fine record too... |
TRACK INFO: - Released February 1989
- Along with B side “Loc’ed After Dark”, this charted at no. 21 and spent 8 weeks inside the UK Top 40.
- MC FACT ATTACK: - Tone Loc’s real name is Anthony Smith. Fact. MC wins.

Wednesday 8th June 2005 Link (MC) [Posted Saturday, June 11 2005 by MC_]
 | Chad Jackson Hear The Drummer Get Wicked - Chad Jackson shares the same surname as Kate Jackson, who was one of the three main stars in the original series of “Charlie's Angels” - “Angels” was a number 2 hit in 1997 for Robbie Williams - Robbie Williams supports Port Vale - “Vale” is the name of a ski resort in the state of Colorado - “Colorado” is also the name of an American river, a bit like The Mississippi and The Hudson - Hudson Hawk was a 1991 film starring Bruce Willis - Bruce Willis shares the same first name as Bruce Hornsby, who had a hit with “The Way It Is” in 1986 - 1986 was the year that the World Cup was hosted by Mexico - Mexico borders the southern part of the USA, while the northern part borders Canada - Canada is famous for its geese - Geese are vicious and can be used as an alternative to guard dogs - Dogs can be used to lead blind people and sniff for drugs - Drugs are on the list of things you’re not allowed to bring into the country, as is honey - Honey is sweet, as is cider - Cider is popular in the West Country, as are Reef - and when you think of Reef, you think of their biggest record to date which made it into the top six in the year 1996, it is of course “Place Your Hands” - Which links us therefore unsurprisingly to Reef and Place Your Hands
- FLAWS: - Plenty of flaws today flaw-fans:
*Angels by Robbie actually got to number 4 in December 1997, not number 2 as stated.
*Geese are in fact used to sound an alarm, not to attack people like guard dogs
*Cider can also be dry, which is of course the opposite of sweet. Like dur Dave you div. |
TRACK INFO: - Released November 1996
- Lasted seven weeks on the chart, reaching number six.
- MC FACT ATTACK: - One of only two top ten singles ever for Reef, the other being “Come Back Brighter”... released two months later in January 1997 (it got to number 8). Their biggest (and best) record of relatively recent times, was August 2000’s “Set The Record Straight”, formerly used as the theme music of BBC1’s Football Focus.
- ALBUM DETAILS: - From the number one album “Glow”, which debuted in the top position upon its release in February 1997. It was on the chart for the subsequent 31 weeks...
Tuesday 7th June 2005 Link (MC) [Posted Saturday, June 11 2005 by MC_]
 | Robbie Williams Lazy Days - Lazy Days was taken from the album “Life Thru A Lens” - If you remove the last letter of the word “lens” you’re left simply with “Len”. who had a 1999 hit with “Steal My Sunshine”, while “Sunshine On A Rainy Day” was an earlier hit for Zoe - If you know somebody called Zoe, it’s likely that they will be the last name in your phone - “Phone” rhymes with “loan”, which is something you might get from a shark - A shark of a different type is what you wouldn’t want to see when you were swimming - Swimming is something you might do in your trunks - “Trunks” is also a word associated with elephants, which never forget - The English word “forget” is spelt in the same way as the French word “forget” (MC - phonetically “forge ay”), as in Guy Forget, who was a famous name from the world of tennis - Tennis can be played on a number of different surfaces, including grass and clay - Clay, first name Cassius is the real name of the boxer we know as Muhammad Ali - Muhammad Ali isn’t the only famous Muhammad because Gus in EastEnders is played by the actor Mohammed George - “George” is a name that connects soul legend Benson with former US president Bush - and it was George Bush who was in power at the time “Hear The Drummer Get Wicked” was a massive, monster hit for Chad Jackson - Which links us to Chad Jackson and Hear The Drummer Get Wicked
- FLAWS: - Only Aled’s flawed knowledge of music:
*He didn’t know that it was James Brown sampled on the end of the track. He thought it was Pete Tong. God help us. |
TRACK INFO: - Released June 1990
- Got to number 3 in the singles chart, spending 10 weeks inside The Top 40 in total.
- MC FACT ATTACK: - Mr Jackson, or Chad to his family, is apparently a world renowned DJ and producer, the ex Technics World Mixing Champion and DJ at the Hacienda. As an aside, this track used to be used as a bed on the Joe Ferguson Show on Radio City 96.7 in Liverpool. Joe used to be my 2nd favourite DJ behind Moyles, but after leaving Radio City in 2003 and Belfast’s Citybeat this year, he is no longer on the radio. Shame!
- ALBUM DETAILS: - You can get it on disc 1 of “Back To The Old Skool 2”. Mr Chad Jackson only ever released one single (i.e. this) so therefore never recorded an album. F-fact. Oh wrong section, balls.

 | Bass-O-Matic Fascinating Rhythm - “Rhythm” is one of the only words in the English language that doesn’t contain any vowels - Vowels and consonants are what are handed out on Countdown by Carol Vorderman - Carol Vorderman is from North Wales, as is Lisa Scott-Lee, who used to be in Steps - Steps are also known as stairs, which are the recommended safe route out of a multi storey building in the event of fire - “Fire” was a number one chart topper in 1968 for The Crazy World Of Arthur Brown - Arthur Brown shares the same surname as June Brown, who plays Dot Cotton - Cotton is a good material for making t-shirts and handkerchiefs - Handkerchiefs are a good idea if you’ve got a cold, like what we have - “Cold” rhymes with “mould”, which is what you might find growing on cheese and bread - Bread is made by a baker - Baker, first name Cheryl, used to be in Bucks Fizz - Fizz is a character in Coronation Street, which is produced in Manchester - Manchester is the city where Take That were formed - and one of the original members of Take That, before he left to pursue a successful solo career, was of course Mr Robbie Williams - Which links us to Robbie Williams and Lazy Days
- FLAWS: - Seamless, although I have thought of another word without a vowel:
*and it’s....... “my”. Wow, I know. Dave could only think up three himself - “lynx”, “sky” and “gypsy”. |
TRACK INFO: - Released July 1997
- Robbie’s 3rd solo single (after Freedom + Old Before I Die), this got to number 2 and spent 11 weeks on the chart in total.
- MC FACT ATTACK: - This song is called Lazy Days and today is a lazy day. So therefore I couldn’t be arsed looking up a fact. Fact. Or is it? Hmm. I’m confused.
- ALBUM DETAILS: - From the number one album “Life Thru A Lens” (released 10/97), which spent a huge 123 weeks (thats 2+ years thickos) on the UK Album chart.
Friday 3rd June 2005 Link (MC) [Posted Friday, June 3 2005 by MC_]
 | Talking Heads Once In A Lifetime - “Once in a lifetime” is the way you might describe the opportunity to attend a special and intimate gig, by let’s say Coldplay - Coldplay are about to release their new album which is called “X & Y” - The letters X & Y are often found in any discussion about chromosomes, and interestingly are also the first two letters in the word “xylophone” - Sir Patrick Moore plays a xylophone, and is a big name in the world of astronomy, which shouldn’t be mistaken for astrology, which is the business of Justin Toper and Russell Grant - Grant is the name of Phil Mitchell’s brother, who was played by the actor Ross Kemp - Ross Kemp shares the same surname as fellow actors, brothers and former Spandau Ballet types Martin and Gary Kemp, who starred together as the Krays - The film “The Krays” was released in 1990, the same year that “Nothing Compares 2 U” topped the charts for Sinead O'Connor, who’s famous for shaving her head, a bit like Natalie Portman is in Star Wars: Revenge Of The Sith - “Sith” ryhmes with “pith”, which is what you might find in fruit - Fruit and vegetables are the staple diet of healthy yoga type celebs such as Madonna - Madonna has worked on several of her records with legendary producer William Orbit - and before he started working with Madonna, William Orbit was the man behind many fine records, including the fantastic “Fascinating Rhythm” by Bass-O-Matic - Which links us to Bass-O-Matic and Fascinating Rhythm
- FLAWS: - Just the obvious one today:
*The BABE that is Miss Natalie Portman hasn’t shaved her head for Star Wars: Revenge Of The Sith. She’s shaved it for her role as Evey Hammond in the upcoming movie “V For Vendetta”. |
TRACK INFO: - Released September 1990
- Got to number 9 and spent 11 weeks on the chart.
- MC FACT ATTACK: - It’s a Friday so lazy fact time. This track was last played as a Tedious Link on Friday 27th February 2004, when the team did the show live from Southampton.
- ALBUM DETAILS: - Taken from “Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Bass” by Bass-O-Matic, which sadly never charted in the Top 40 album chart back in October 1990. It got to number 57. Ah well, lifes a bitch. You can buy it via Amazon if you’re desperate though.
Thursday 2nd June 2005 Link (MC) [Posted Friday, June 3 2005 by MC_]
 | Salt-N-Pepa Push It - “Push It” is what you might be forced to do if your car had broken down - Down is one of two directional options in a lift - The past tense of the word “lift” is “Lifted”, which was a top 4 hit in 1996 for The Lighthouse Family - A lighthouse is something you’d find by the sea - Sea lions are very intelligent mammals that can balance balls on their head - “Head” is a word you’d associate with shoulders, while “shoulders” rhymes with “boulders”, which can be a hazard during an avalanche - The plural of avalanche is “Avalanches”, who had a top 18 hit in 2001 with “Frontier Psychiatrist” - A psychiatrist is who you might have to go and see if people thought you were mental - Mental As Anything are an Australian band who had a 1986 hit with “Live It Up”, which featured on the soundtrack to the film Crocodile Dundee - Dundee has a river called The Tay - “Tay” rhymes with “hay”, which is highly flammable when dry, therefore it’s easy to burn - and “Byrne”, albeit spelt differently, is the Irish surname that links baldy news buffoon Dominic, scouse music industry legend Tony, and skinny singer/songwriter David Byrne from Talking Heads - Which links us to a bit of classic Tedious Link action, Talking Heads and Once In A Lifetime
- FLAWS: - Nope surprisingly. Seamless this morning. |
TRACK INFO: - Released February 1981
- Got to number 14 in the UK Singles Chart, spending 10 weeks on the countdown.

 | Manic Street Preachers A Design For Life - A Design For Life reached number 2 in April 1996, the same month that “Ooh Aah... Just A Little Bit” became a number one chart topper for Gina G - Gina G is a good example of a celebrity whose initials are both the same letter, like Angry Anderson, Joan Jett and Gary Glitter - “Glitter” rhymes with “litter”, which should be always be picked up and put in a rubbish bin - Bin Laden, first name Osama is probably the most wanted man in the whole world - “World Party” was the name of the band which included Robbie Williams’ former writing partner Guy Chambers - Chambers are what you might find in a dungeon - “Dungeon” shares the same word ending as “surgeon”, which is the type of person who might perform an operation on you - “You” rhymes with “boo”, which is what you shouldn’t say to a goose - Goose out of Top Gun was played by that baldy guy who then went on to star in ER, although I think he might be dead in that as well now - “Now That We Found Love” was a 1991 hit for Heavy D & The Boyz - Heavy D was born in Jamaica but raised in the Mount Vernon area of New York City - and New York is also the city that gave us the hip hop girl group Salt-N-Pepa - Which links us to their very first release from way back in 1988, Salt-N-Pepa and Push It
- FLAWS: - Seamless, bar Dave getting his words muddled up around “Glitter” and “litter”. He is however hereby forgiven (mmm nice alliteration). |
TRACK INFO: - Released June 1988
- Now coming up to 17 years old, this track peaked at number 2 and spent 13 weeks on the UK chart back in 88.
- MC FACT ATTACK: - Salt-N-Pepa were rappers Cheryl “Salt” James and Sandra “Papa” Denton, plus DJ Dee Dee “Spindarella” Roper. Ha no really. They are also the most commercially successful female rap group of all time. Fact.
- ALBUM DETAILS: - From “Hot, Cool & Vicious”, Salt-N-Pepa’s debut album that’s now only available via import on Amazon. Well I mean, it’s not like you were gonna rush out and buy it or anything, but I just thought I’d let you know anyway... thanks.
