Showing how far behind the curve I am as usual:

In other news, when I was home, I was presented with a box of sweets from IKEA - presumably imported from Scandinavia. In one of those "probably not for sale in English-speaking countries" naming mix-ups, I am now the proud owners of two types of Skum
Oh yes, one other thing:

While I was at home, I recorded onto mp3 a handful of albums I've never managed to find on CD. One of them was the first (and possibly only) studio album by Instant Sunshine, dating from 1976.

Those who like Tom Lehrer and Flanders & Swann would probably enjoy Instant Sunshine, though they are not quite as good as either of the preceding. They write entertaining musical pastiches, for the most part, with often very clever lyrics. I now have several of their songs going round my head, especially the one about worms.

Needless to say, having finally got this (spectacularly scratched) LP onto mp3, after wanting to for ages, I now find they've released the bloody thing on CD (it's the first of the three on that page).

I would definitelty recommend trying them out...

I also recorded a couple of the early Billy Connolly LP's, which are a real test of my schoolboy Glaswegian.
