Well, I actually think Bewitched and Take Me are two of the best tracks on Bizarro. I think one of the WP's strengths is that (for me) there is no definitive best album - their best tracks are sprinkled liberally over all of them. I think that a "bum" track isn't such a bad idea on a good album...
I think I agree with this - just about every album has its "Death At One's Elbow", "Don't Stop", "Polar Bear" or "Hit The Plane Down". I'm struggling to name a bad track on "Reading, Writing and Arithmetic", but I think maybe the peaks aren't high enough to justify special inclusion (although it...

Come now, Jem, is there such a thing as too much here? If we all club together, we could persuade Gentle Despite to make a half-time pitch appearance maybe, or get Claire to write an angsty column in the programme? I didn't actually list ALL my musical obsessions - just one or two. Could you get...
Accounting and accounting disclosure rules (although anyone claiming this understandably lives in the shadow of El Pres), Franz Kafka, Sarah Records, early releases on WARP records, fairly knowledgeable on all things Sussex, Thomas Hardy, bits and pieces on BHA (of course). Ummm, electric guitar...
