I just caught a clip of The Proclaimers "I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)" is a Visa commercial on FX. It used about half of the chorus, but the hint of a Scots voice is all I need to go haring off to Google...

I've never heard of them before, so many thanks to Visa for introducing me to them. More about them from Wikipedia. OK, so they've been around for 20 years, and I'm just learning about them. This is par for the course for me and music. :-)

Yup. Makes it all the more of a pity that the most recent CD sucked.


Still, when you have a back catalogue that good one poor showing is quite forgivable.

I actually enjoyed the last one quite a bit! It grows on you...

*many* things may grow on you

elsewhere I just discovered Sepulturas new cd, 'Dante XXI', is brilliant. This is worth mentioning as I haven't liked any of their Derek Green era stuff 'til now :)
