Related, but not musical

We're going to wander slightly away from music for a moment to plug our new sister blog, the war ticker, which - while not attempting to be comprehensive - is setting out to offer a slightly sarky perspective on the In No Way Inevitable war on Iraq, and related wars on terrorism, drugs, civil liberties and firefighter's right to strike.

While we're wandering off the topic totally, we'll also give a quick heads-up to mmmexchange, which is a fledgling online community dedicated to uniting people homesick for foodstuffs. So, if you're in Ohio missing Marmite, it'll hook you up with an expat American in Barnsley yearning for Reeses Peanut Butter Cups. Its a great idea, and we'd think that even if we weren't married to the person who thought of it.
