Hard News: The Velvet Underground Etc., in reply to Graham Dunster,
And talking of reasonable prices, I was aghast at how much Slow Boat and Evil Genius wanted for their vinyl lats time I was in Wellington. RPM not so bad, it all made Real Groovy Auckland look almost reasonable. Certainly won't divert me from internet purchases in the near future.

Interesting post on Stratfor's site examing the consequences of the NATO interference in Libya dealt with in Michael Lewis' very readable article.

Cracker: Bloggers: Pr*cks, Ars*holes,…, in reply to Russell Brown,
I bought the album in Sydney when I was there in 1978 only to discover that the pressings had omitted that immortal first stanza. Never discovered whether the same thing happened here - those were the days when NZ actually pressed lps locally...
