When will Talk Talk/Mark Hollis get a biog?

Pleased to see that there is at least something being published about the Blue Nile, regardless of its quality.
Where is the equivalent for Talk Talk? Have I missed it? Or is it time for me to write it? (yeah, right)
There are some great tales to tell there, surely...

There's also been a good article
in the other magazine that rhymes with Dojo.

Oops
Just corrected the title for this one: I meant a BIOGraphy, not a weBLOG.
I assume there has been nothing in print on TT? Can't find anything anyway.

Thank you for starting this thread, bogl.
I have just come back from a four night work stint in Euroland. One night we were in the Euro bar of a Euro hotel and somewhere between the Human League, Howard Jones, DJ Loxy Loxy ft Jix, Dev and all of that noise "It's My Life" came on and just cut right through it all. Utterly wonderful.
I've just gone and bought the "Best of" because of this thread. I probably own most of it already but somehow i just thought I ought to because of that moment in the Euro bar.

Glad to hear it...
..just what this blog should be doing!
I take it that's Natural History, The Very Best Of Talk Talk? What do you make of the second half of their career, where they become the "godfathers of post-rock"? I like both halves personally, but the latter more.
