Anyone familiar with Brighton's bastion of local news, The Argus , and their catalogue of outré headlines (see: 'Mystery Of Restaurant's Exploding Tea Towels', 'Giant Stiletto Found On Beach', and 'Postman Beaten By Lavender Bush') may find an affinity with the 1998 collaborative album of Jad Fair and Yo La Tengo, Strange But True.

"I never understood guitar music until 'Girls & Boys' by Blur – and that led into a love for Oasis – though I did not get bands at all when I was growing up (my first record was Glenn Miller's Greatest Hits).
