Apart from having the wonderful Something Beginning With L in (more info about that here) we had an excellent album of the week, Shonen Knife. It’s pretty much exactly the same as the sixteen albums that came before it, which is good because you feel 25 years younger when listening to it. Plus the cover art is a thought-provoking piece too.
