Arab Strap disband...The Pet Shop Boys reform...ah, the perpetual cycle of of no-talent musical artists...it's truly a wondrous wonder to behold.

Some of the best music ever made was by people with no talent. Never, ever discount the Shaggs.

"No-talent" was not a fair modifier, but rather an emotional one. Neither Arab Strap or The Pet Shop Boys are the bottom of the barrel, but I can't say I'm any kind of a fan of either.

This roommate of mine years ago told me about how when he was a small child that one of his first memories was making two lists, that I suppose were based his on experiences at recess during kindergarten. Recess...where the outside met the inside and the body said hello to the brain...anyway, he told me about how one piece of paper was chronicle of names of classmates deemed "good and on my team" and the other one was an enemies list titled "bad and not on my team."


Bravo!
