Okay, we haven’t had an update in a few days, which usually makes Kip nervous. And when The Chief is nervous, I get nervous. As I have nothing particularly thrilling to write about at the moment, I’m just going to do a little news roundup.
News:

Blog Roundup:
The irascible Mr Toad has two offerings from a great new London duo called Celebrity Chimp. It’s sort of like punk crossed with bluegrass. If that makes sense. [Song, By Toad]

Thanks for keeping things up to date, Sean. I think this is something we should do more of…what’s a good day (and category name) to do an around the blogosphere entry?!

I think Friday is probably a good day to sum up a week like this. As for a title…I’ll have to get back to you.

3 million records? Is this for real? No wonder he’s trying to sell it. Where does one store all that? The collective smell of all that vinyl must be awful. I still have 200 pieces of random hip hop vinyl I’m trying to get rid of. I’d give it away to best offer or free.

Yeah, I guess part of the reason he’s getting rid of it all is he’s gone blind and he’s trying to spend more time with his family. Plus, can you imagine the storage costs involved? It’s crazy!

And Duffy remains as sweet and innocent to all this sudden fame long may it continuexxxx
