It’s fast approaching 2pm on Monday here in Barbados (6pm in the UK) and I’ve had a quick check to ensure that folk are able to vote in the ties that make up the last 16 of the ICA World Cup. It’s going well – 25 comments to this stage which is a bit down on the usual, but then again there’s twice as many ties as usual to take into consideration….and interesting also that some folk won’t commit either way on some of them. As things stand, the biggest lead is 14-9 while one match-up is locked at 12-12. Keep them coming…..
I also found that another of my guest contributions has popped up over at No Badger Required.
So….if anyone wants to read my thoughts on why Trapped and Unwrapped, the 1984 debut (and only) LP by Friends Again, is nearly perfect, then feel free to click here.
mp3: Friends Again – Swallows In The Rain
A track produced by none other than Tom Verlaine, whose band Television, is currently battling things out against Terry Hall in the ICA World Cup.
THE NEW VINYL VILLAIN 
I bought this and Welcome to the Pleasuredome on the same day when they were released.
