Art Brut vs Satan and the link between the Pixies and Scrabble

Album Of The Week No 2: Art Brut - Art Brut vs Satan

I can't believe I actually did this feature TWO WEEKS RUNNING. Here's to number 3.

ABVS is the band's third offering and to be blunt it has not moved on at all from the other two offerings. That's exactly why it's my Album Of The Week - sometimes it's safe to know exactly what you're getting.

The album is out this week, and you can buy it in record shops or over the internet.

The big question

No one in the chatroom could tell me what was so unusual about VELOURIA - of course, the answer was that it's one of the few words with one (only) of each of the vowels, which, if you're not Welsh, will be A, E, I, O and U. You'd all be RUBBISH at Scrabble. I think I could beat you all, with one hand tied behind my back.
