Once you've determined that it's bogus, click on the link and fill out the
form, carefully. Even as we speak, there are several Russian phishers out
there trying to sign onto my eBay account as "Osama B. Ladin".

His latest, "Surf", is probably one of my favourite releases from last year.
Just Roddy and an acoustic guitar make this a bit different from the Aztec
days but this is definitely a grower. There's also a version with two bonus
tracks which I found to be the best of the bunch.
And following the whole Beatles tribute thread from a while back, there was
a version of "In My Life" recorded for the John Lennon covers CD attached to
the October 2002 Uncut which was truly sublime.

You left out "vocative".

Except he'a apparently gone into hiding again. No website, no response to
e-mail requests, pissed off at the world (?).
Haven't we seen this movie before?
