interesting. Given that everyone I know who owns it already had an import copy from the UK, that's pretty phenomenal.

Apparently it's pretty likely they'll be playing here in a couple of months.

Is there much truth in that rumour? Has our contact in the 'biz been told.?

new zealand is not the world, in fact it represents 0.000000000000000001%
of the population, in humans that is, sheep is 88%, and damn tough to
chew too, what are feeding the little bleeders?

I heard that from Bryan at the Salford lads Club gig ... apparently Sony are bringing them to Australia in June, and the label execs here are very keen on getting them here. This was before anyone here had even really heard of them, so I guess with the records' success it's even more likely.

Here's hoping, anyway ...

Sounds hopeful. At least it'll be cheaper going to see FF than it will be to go see Sonic Youth. $62, for the cheap seats. No thank you.

Could be genius, could be 90 minutes of white-noise art-wank. You can never tell with Sonic Youth
