Thats very interesting, thanks. Hmmm... it sounds a little outside of my
interests, but they are such an incredibly creative bunch of guys that I
will check it out in any event. I really like "Laika Sex Machine" even
though its not (too) surfy either.
I think I heard that Local Warning got reviewed in Guitar Player magazine as
well. Anyone seen that review?
Thanks,
BN
