Aural fulfilment at last. The band who did the music for the Lyceum's Beggar's Opera have uploaded the track I've been obsessing about for the past five weeks onto their myspace page. You may enjoy it for yourself here. It's self-effacingly titled "We are the scum". You may also enjoy "Here's to us".

But then you may not enjoy any of them. Ross, remember, was unimpressed. Mother sat with her fingers in her ears. And I just received a phone call from dear Ian Aldred who called critically (but mellifluously) "what on earth is that dreadful noise in the background? What ever will your neighbours think?". So maybe it's just me.

They're at the Tramway (in the aforementioned show) from Wednesday so you can judge them in the flesh for yourselves.
