Try and get your hands on Chris Bell's album, I Am The Cosmos, it's great.

I'd love it if Kate Middleton leant out of the hospital window and yelled "Its eyes! What have you done to its eyes?!" to the waiting world media.

Have you heard What's He Building? by Tom Waits? Sounds like you and your neighbour to a tee.

You got your wish: Mel Smith, British comedian and director of the Mr Bean movies, died on Saturday (or maybe Friday) of a heart attack at the age of 60. Much missed.

I never watched that one anyway. I was a Rockford Files man through and through, though.

Also, after a night's sleep: Air Wolf, The High Chapparral, Bonanza, The Waltons, Cheers, Laverne & Shirley, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, The Dukes of Hazzard …

But - wasn't there talk that the spin-off would go back a few years, to Saul's first dealings with Gus? Don't know where I picked this info up from, though, so feel free to discount it.

I've got Why Bother on cassette, but I make sure I only listen to it about once every 5 years, so it's fresh every time. Although, I don't have a cassette player nowadays. Fuck.

Super Furry Animals.

Info Freako - anyone heard Diesel Park West's version of that? Anyone heard Diesel Park West?
