The next issue of Word will be with you next week. Attached to the cover is the usual "Now Hear This" CD featuring Chris Difford with "Come On Down", Flogging Molly with "Paddy's Lament", Devotchka and "The Clockwise Witness", Was (Not Was) and "Your Luck Won't Last", Thomas Denver Jonsson and "You Were The Holiday", The Black Keys and "All You Ever Wanted", The Grid and "Closer", Jesse Malin and "Stray", Steve Pilgrim and "Lover, Love Her" and Eleanor McEvoy and "Shame On The Moon". Which just leaves:

Jaymay playing "You Are The Only One I Love" outside the Albert Hall;
The strangely fascinating Amy LaVere...

... and "Killing Him" plus Stephen Emmer doing "Passengers"...

....with Lou Reed on recitation.

Take out a sub

or the kitten gets it.
