OK. I’m a fanboy. Yes yes, forgive me. LCD Soundsystem. I love them. Signed to DFA. Hot Chip. Apparently I love them too. Also signed to DFA. More ear worm infectious pop than edgy dance, but still; the sight of 5 geeks jerking uncontrollably in time to their own emissions on Later (that last link only lasts until 22nd Feb 2008, this one doesn’t, nor does this one for the really stand out track) was really something to behold. EMI have finally got an artist of a) quality and b) mass appeal. They may have got them through a licensing deal rather than their own A&R, but hey, Terra Firma may be saved from bankruptcy yet.

2. Surely ludicrous fan activity all over the net with poor quality sound and pictures only increases the hunger for the real deal?

As doug so succinctly puts it: “they are foolish, avaricious, clueless idiots and they deserve everything they get”

This is awesome (well, awesome if you’ve ever seen linerider).  Some people clearly have far too much time on their hands, but hey, props nonetheless:

In the last 5 meetings (over the last 3 years) we’ve only beaten South Africa once. It was at Twickenham and it was only just (by 2 points, 23-21). Our total points difference is 116 against in those 5 matches.

We started the tournament 279-1 outsiders. We’re still 3-1 against as compared to the Springboks 2-1 on. But:

We’ve got Johnny

I’m not commenting on the Rugby until after tonight so, while we’re waiting, here’s Stacy:
