Wanted to Hear the B-Side – B-Side – B-Side – B-Side

Next album is decided on I think. Nice to see Green back on the scene. I rushed out and bought Cupid and Psyche ’85 and loved it despite the Rhino-Stopping realisation that the voice on one of the remixes was Gary “Medallion Man” Davies from Wonderful Radio One. Now Scritti Politti cropped up on some giveaway of post punk stuff from then and now with a song someway removed from the slick and dreamy stuff of CS85. Despite my love of this album I never bought anything else and at first I was convinced that the giveaway track had been labelled wrongly. Still, this is the way of great bands – change style and remain ahead.

I think my rant from yesterday that ended with Id and Ego actually should really have been linked to Plato’s Cave and I have the youngest to thank for pointing it out. He decided to fling a book across the room yesterday and chose Rudy Rucker’s Fourth Dimension which I picked up and flicked through where it opened at a description of Plato’s cave. So read the Wikipedia article to get what I really wanted to say – er – I think.

What did we do before Wikipedia?
