Have managed to achieve some kind of reconciliation re: the Mansun situation, principally by playing the albums and then the singles all back to back, rather louder than was good for me, whilst pretending to work.
Situation helped considerably by the arrival of the new Aereogramme album from Chemikal Underground - part of their £6-an-album deal that ran for a couple of days last week (it's finished now, so don't bother worrying about it!).
Also received 'Peloton' by The Delgados - but somehow I'd managed to order it on LP rather than CD, and as I don't own a record player, it's not much use to me. Since I can't be bothered farting around with ebay, and would feel too stupid if I tried to send it back, I am hereby offering it, gratis (except postage), to the first person to claim it. Don't all shout at once...
