Being a Watford fan, I am subjected to the theme tune from 'Z Cars' when they take to the pitch. Some of the chants from the opposing fans can be quite funny though.

David Thomas is one of the great live performers, a man capable of keeping you spellbound with his skills as a raconteur even when sweating profusely and dressed in an apron (albeit an apron wired as a noise-making instrument). Happy to hear that Tom Herman has left the band as I thought he destabilised the sound (I recall a disbelieving thread about this a year or so back, but I stand by this opinion). Very happy to hear he has been replaced by the excellent Keith Moline. But there's unlikely to be anyone other than Thomas in the band from the original line-up. But if they play Non-Alignment Pact, Street Waves and 30 Seconds Over Tokyo competently does it matter? (he said rhetorically).

Also counting Wire's Colin Newman, Scanner's Robin Rimbaud and Minimal Compact's Malka Spigel amongst their ranks, Githead certainly have some heritage to draw upon, and draw upon it they do, with 'Profile' succeeding in taking their early sound, filtering out the self-indulgent crap and leaving an album full of sequestered guitar based songs. 'Alpha' opens 'Profile' with a scene setting (almost Radiohead) plethora of evolving instrumentation and Ian Drury vocals ("It's always one thing or another...") that unexpectedly break free and soar, taking you with them ready or not, a trick Githead successfully repeat throughout. So whilst 'My LCA (Little Box Of Magic)' goes for digitally manipulated pop and 'Cosmology For Beginners' is a baggy trousered crossbreed of The Specials/New Order and shouty Anglo-rap, 'Raining Down' prefers to plunder The Smiths and Mogwai for its kicks, without it ever feeling either awkward or ill-advised.
