Howdy,
Here are some recent photos, including one of the lesser spotted Executive Producer Robson in what can only be described as a coquettish pose. Hang on to your hats, kids

Some dude in America is selling his entire record collection on eBay - The collection contains over 6 million titles spread across 3 million records and a boat load of CDs, cassettes and 8-track cartridges. The seller will only let it go as a whole and will not let buyers cherrypick.

Sluts, Faggots and other Christmas Traditions

Wednesday, December 19th, 2007

 
It won’t have escaped anyone’s notice that it’s nearly Christmas. So by way of wishing you all a happy time here’s a tune we recorded for Christmas in 2001 or 2002 (I can’t remember exactly). We didn’t write the song, but the Spacemen 3 lyric is all our own work.
