Phil should be doing a phone interview at some point during the show. We hope to have a download of the interview some time soon.

The cover image of their single 'Boys' is a spoof of Roxy Music's Country Life album cover. One of the 'girls' is none other than Noel Fielding (he of "The Mighty Boosh" and "The I.T. Crowd" british comedy TV series). Note that Robots In Disguise are two women performing electropop, and have nothing to do with The Transformers. [in case Lee Sullivan, one-time penciller of Richard Branson, gets confused. ;-D ] The Sounds - "Rock 'N' Roll". From their album 'Living In America'. Nice song, references Bryan and includes the line "jump up, bubble up" partways through it. . . And on an unrelated, but beneficial note, The Replacements, one of the best bands EVER, have just released a greatest hits compilation with TWO new recordings on it! Value add - that's the way to do it. Seriously - if you appreciate *excellent* rock songwriting (and I guess the Avalon audience does) coupled with passionate singing and playing, then get "Don't You Know Who I Think I Was?" by The Replacements. Paul Westerberg is in an elite club of super-talented lyricists/musicians (alongside Ferry, naturally). Buy This NOW! 8-) Over and out, - ---joel Tired of spam? Yahoo!
