Good afternoon. Britain today is a cess-hole, held together by bent MPs, phone scams, Matalan pants, and The Sun. Soldiers’ boots are melting in the desert and we haven’t made a car since the Gulf War. But calm down, kidder—this ensemble of fizzy pop, Ceefax dreams, answerphone dance, and indie pellets proves that, despite the words production, workshop, and industry long having been hijacked by the Oxford Showbiz Dictionary, some things do still get made in Britain. We’ve got twelve tiny Tim Roths for you here; handpicked and rubber-stamped to stove off the Rotten Swine flu. Twelve, count them. One for every shilling in the inch, or however they used to measure it.
Love and Monster Munch to all the labels, artists, and PR bods who helped make CMG054 such a belter. Special thanks especially to Mr. John Murphy, who took time out from composing for Hollywood/assaulting lawyers to supply us with our very own character theme.
