If you like Sonik Kicks By Paul Weller...
...then head over to www.yeproc.com/stash, register, then go into stash area and enter WELLERSONIK, then scroll down to "Sonik Kicks Stash Bonus" . You'll get a download of a free track called the Piper which is ace and hasn't been released in the UK as yet (it's from the b-side of the US 7" of Dangerous Age, only available for Record Store Day in the US).
If you don't like Sonik Kicks By Paul Weller, then you could still download it I suppose, I'm not bothered really.
This is the track...
Small Faces Deluxe Editions...
...Finally out in May.
"Small Faces (Decca, 1966), From The Beginning (Decca, 1967) and Small Faces (Immediate, 1967) will appear in two-disc format while their 1968 masterpiece, Ogdens’ Nut Gone Flake, has been expanded to three discs. Each album has been remastered and will contain both the mono and stereo versions of the original tracks alongside a clutch of previously unreleased bonus material."
Quite excited, me.
Bowie "lost" TOTP appearance unearthed

Any other lost tv things you wish would show up?
Rolling Stones Brussels Affair & Some Girls & Live in Texas DVD
Can any of you good folk help with these Stones related queries:
Can we in the UK download the Brussels Affair official booot from http://www.stonesarchive.com/
Has anyone bought the Some Girls reissue-are the extra tracks worth it?
How's the Live In Texas DVD-is the cd with it a cd of the whole show?
Should I go crazy on any of these, or can I give my credit card a rest?
The Smiths are the only band...
...who got better with each progressive studio album.
Strangeways is better than the Queen is Dead, which is better than Meat is Murder, which is better than the debut, which is still great anyway.
Any other bands that can match this trend? (And I know accepted wisdom seems to be that The Queen is Dead is the one, but you get the point...)
Quick Ipod Touch/Iphone technophobe query
What's the easiest/best way to get a piece of video filmed on an ipod touch off the ipod and onto the pc? Sure it should be easy, but tried various ways but no luck. Video file is quite big (15 minutes of video)so not sure if that's the issue? I open this query to the massive for help, I thank you...
My online edition mystery
Apologies if I'm being thick. I've been a subscriber since the days when it was ok to like Hard Fi, I get the "Something For The Weekend" email every Thursday, but I've never received the email with the link for the online edition since they started. Are these separate emails? Do I need to log in somewhere to activate getting these? Any help appreciated...New look issue fantastic (in paper) by the way.
Super Deluxe Editions-taking the mick?
Looking forward to new albums by Hot Chip and Midlake next week. Usually buy cd's, recently buying more lp's again, always like a ltd edition if there is one. So for £115 on Monday I could get these two:
http://www.roughtrade.com/site/shop_detail.lasso?search_type=sku&sku=322...
and http://www.thevinylfactory.com/shop/index.php/hot-chip-limited-gatefold....
Or just pay £18 for the 2 standard cd's. Decisions, decisions.Is this a wallet-worrying new trend?
The Online Copy..
.. How do we access it again? I'm a subscriber and have the new issue, but wanted to look at the online version. Anyone remind me how (apologies in advance for the no doubt obvious solution). Cheers!
Spotify For IPhone-Worth a punt?
It's been available for a few months now, and as a recent IPhone purchaser I'd be interested to know what the Massive think of the Spotify App.Does it work ok and Is it worth £10 a month? How much music can you have available via spotify when you're outside of a decent wireless signal? Thanks.
FLAC query (another one)
I've recently downloaded a FLAC file off "the internet" but none of the programmes on my PC (Itunes, Media Player etc) can open it. Any techno savvy massive members recommend something I can download to play this, or convert to MP3 etc so I can stick it on my Ipod. Cheers!
How chuffing much!!!!

Surely some mistake...

A freudian slip?
Richard Gere-Primal Fear?
Is this the only example of film rhyming slang, where the movie star and title make a lovely little rhyme. It's almost a "cinematic haiku" (isn't that a Cocteau Twins track?) Sorry,but it's been a slow day as I consider if I should leave work early to avoid getting snowed in.
