Now what shall I use for a bat deterrent?

One of the good things about my eldest daughter going to college is that she's taken her entire MC collection with her (and I do mean entire - including nearly every single from the US and Aus too. I introduced her to the delights of the Record Fair).

Although I could out-muscle her bedroom stereo Ms Swoopy-Woopy's voice could cut through just about anything I played like a diamond drill.

$28m just to shut up and go away. Phew.

I'd never even heard of her 'til yesterday.

Sounds like it's just as well.

It shouldn't be Phil and it shouldn't be you, it should be me. Assuming, that is, we're still taking $28 million...

I would gladly turn down $28M if it could somehow stop all the boybands and new-soulers "singing."

All of them, perhaps, but it seems as if that much is only enough for a single scalp. At least it's one of the worst offenders...

"New Soul: it's like Soul, but without any Soul!"

I'm less worried about boybands, at least they don't generally have illusions about being Artists and I find the music merely pointless and disposable rather than actively bad for my head.

She must be laughing all the way to the bank. $20 million for doing nothing!!!!. Certainly explains why record companies are in so much trouble by signing such ridiculous contracts which never had a hope in hell of paying back, the REM contract is another example.

Absolutely, how about Sting as well.

Oh! That's singing is it? I wondered what it was. I thought there was just some intereference when Radiohead recorded instrumentals.....
