Vladimir PUTIN Do you want to save the EU or should I?
Barack OBAMA Go ahead, I can\'t afford it
If Simon Bent Hedgehog Hair were to hear me sing, there is no doubt he would say “Its very karaoke”. And he would have a point, as if he, or indeed anyone else, were to hear me sing, it would be because they were in Karaoke Box. Of course, I have to question what the [...]
Following on from the Gavin Bryars post, which can be found here: https://roomyverse.com/?p=12116, I started thinking about other long, experimental pieces of music that could fit alongside ‘Jesus’ Blood Never Failed Me Yet’ and Paddy McAloon’s 22 minute “I Trawl the Megahertz” seemed like the perfect match.

If you’re seeking a worthy charity to supply your christmas cards this year then please stroll along to The Knock On Effect, a website run by the wonderful Rosie Kilburn. There are all kinds of gifts to buy – shirts, bags, jewellery, tea towels, as well as christmas cards, obviously - and every penny goes to a cancer [...]
