  • I believe you have a feature on Welsh band Race Horses. Bought their album Goodbye Falkenbrg in a gig in Camden Saturday night. Sweet sweet pop music, really fine production.

  • what a devistingly clever cover&concept for'PLASTIC BEACH'.I have studied hewlett's work since issue1 of DEADLINE.even then jamie was always droppin'his musical preferences either by having tank girl wearing a cud badge or various obscure l.p covers liberaly sprinked around her&booga's gaff thanks for designing a top draw cover.P.S.IF I WIN THE PRINT IT WOULD MAKE MY ANIMATION COLLECTION/WORLD UTTERLY COMLETE&I CAN DIE A HAPPY MAN,PLUS MURDOC CAN HAVE MY ADRENAL GLAD WHIST I,M STILL ALIVE(WITHOUT ANASTETIC)"that's all folks".
