Have done. Both album and issue are something of a dog's dinner. Very much enjoying Howard up to this point, and hoping he's not jumped the shark.

Iodine, the closing track of her 2003 LP, predicts with total clarity the looming threats of F*r*g*ism and Br*x*t. The best protest song since Nazi Punks, and also an undiscovered Christmas banger.
