Entertainment For Lively Minds
Today's corrections
The singer-songwriter Robin Stratton, mentioned by Stephen Duffy in the new issue, may be found at http://www.myspace.com/robinastratton and not the address shown. It was Stephen's own mistake and he offered to correct all copies with Tippex but we thought this way was easier.
The second-placed entry in the caption competition was mis-credited. It came from Mr Mark Ward, not Mr Tony Batty.
The Stackridge album which provides the track Long Dark River on our CD is called A Victory For Common Sense, and the Panics album is called Cruel Guards not Get Us Home.
And, unforgivably, we ran a picture of the wrong member of The Blue Nile on p. 72. It's Paul Buchanan, not Robert Bell. Unfortunately this is an occupational hazard when musicians shun the spotlight. We never get Jason Orange mixed up with Gary Barlow.
Apologies all round.

Robert Bell

If we're looking for corrections. I did notice that you review an album by a Sigur Rós offshoot called Riceboy Sleeps by Riceboy Sleeps. I think you'll find that the artist should be 'Jónsi & Alex'. It might be a recent name change

Very good it is too...
Mr Hepworth goes on holiday...
...and the quality control goes out the window. Is there any way I can retract my http://www.wordmagazine.co.uk/content/the-new-issue-the-word-its-splendi... thread?
I blame the holiday 'relief'
that Andy Kollins bloke ;D
bargepole refers you
to yet another poor reviews section, and wonders if the reviews editor actually does anything other than put them in alphabetical order.
Bargepole accepts that this isn't the greatest time of the year for scintillating new releases, but surely something better than this can be produced. maybe the old adage 'quality not quantity' should apply, but what thinks The Massive ?
This Member Of The Massive
Wishes no offence, but sincerely wishes you would drop the continued third person references. I'm sure some people find it delightfully quaint, but it seems to annoy many others, so I'm not sure why you persist with it.
Bargepole
ploughs his own furrow.
He certainly sounds
like the sort of chap who would if he could.
nigelthebald wonders
whether bargepole realises who the reviews editor is...
;-)
It pains Bargepole
greatly to say that indeed he does, but then again Bargepole endeavours never to mix business with pleasure.
Another error?
I may be missing a joke and showing myself up terribly here, but in Mark Ellen's foreword he refers to a picture of Grace Jones "slinging a pink hula-hoop for the entire length of Slave to the Rhythm" and goes on to say "there's a photo [of said performance] on page 115".
I turned excitedly to page 115 only to find that it's the inside back cover, the one with the photo caption competition...
If this is a joke it went way over my head!
EDIT: found the photo! It's on page 111. At least I now know it wasn't a joke...
