    Theres still shoe under the shine if you look harder. Ignore the Justine Bilbo b*ll*cks with his "baby baby baby oooo" (how original), I tend to find good stuff by looking at the music forums frequented by musos. Or just go on youtube and click on music vids until I fnd somethig I like. :)

    momentarily from the herd and thinks for himself.

    S'funny, I was on my way up to Coed-y-Brenin on Friday and had the ipod on shuffle and in amongst the stuff that came out was Whip It. So I immediately put Duty Now For The Future on, closely followed by Total Devo.

    My sons wouldn't have it that the bloke that did the music for Rugrats was the same mad bloke at the front of Devo :)

    And then I got to C-y-B and the bloke parked in the van next to me was listening (post-ride) to Peter and The Test Tube Babies!! So a quick bit of punk nostalgia and then I was off.

    Nor would it be credible that it's the same Mark that is the drawing guy on Yo Gabba Gabba.
