Hey,
The only way is up for Streatham...and I'm at the palatable Common 
end....nice and green, not too many junkies and crackheads - so it's still 
£20...possibly  worth it for Rodney's ode to his Moped .

i've never been able to decide with rodney whether he is faux-naif or 
just... well.. naive. In isolation sometimes they are the perfect palate 
cleanser to gerard's stuff - i've very very soft spots for worry beads & 
disney head.

but a whole albums worth of wide-eyed simplicity? Does being knowingly 
simple make you very post modern or just toss? Frightened at night was 
played at xmas and i still couldn't work out whether it was meant 
seriously 
or not - anyone with me?

Phil you're a brave man. Streatham these days by the way - so I'll be 
round 
your house with £1.50 for it.
