wholeheartedly recommend this. its fantastic value for the minimal sub each month and, of course, you are directly supporting the artist in a way that enables them to plan ahead.

momentarily thought this was a reference to the classic Warp records act Plaid (still active incidentally, saw them live a while back, really good). Odd survey, I thought, but it makes sense - so I didn't question my initial response.

Young people love Plaid and hate Reform There has been a lot of talk about Reform being really effective at reaching young people. However this polling suggests that just 5% of those aged 18 - 24 would vote for them.

if you're in the UK, you could do a lot worse than to check out the Dionne Warwick documentary, Don't Make Me Over, on BBC iPlayer. So much great music, but quite apart from that, the person she clearly is. What an absolute boss Dionne Warwick is.
