I was not aware that Chaka Demus and Pliers covered Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic. I can imagine what it sounds like, mind.

You've got me looking for my copy of Shine 5 now. In the meantime I found this, from the cover of Vox all the way back in 1997. Geneva were pretty good, I've still got their album on tape.

Back at university, a couple of friends told me this book was on their syllabus. I said, "Oh, I've read that, it's that Poe story where it turns out the killer is an orangutan."

This might have been the first Onion headline I read, nearly 26 years old and it still cracks me up.

Yeah, I could listen to it all day. Whether it's their *best* song is a different debate though. Exhausted is really good. I discovered through repeated listening that if you turn the volume up during the fade-out, the song actually ends rather than just fading out.

I love this album and Oh, George is still my favourite Foo Fighters song. But yes, the lyrics are pretty nonsensical for the most part.
