Quick musical recommendation, and tribute to my powers of Amazon special offer spotting: Alabama 3's first two albums (Exile on Coldharbour Lane and La Peste) are now available at just £6.66 from Amazon as part of a 3 for £20 sale (though 6.66 multiplied by 3 actually comes to 19.98) so go and buy them, if you don't own them already. They've also got a new album out (Power in the Blood) but the fact I failed to notice it until today can be attributed to the fact I was abroad when it came out. Even though they're behind the theme music for The Sopranos, America has (perhaps unsurprisingly) failed to clasp them to its musical heart. Not that Britain has either, of course.
