Bands Like Better Than Ezra have released 3 or 4 cds everywhere in the world, except in europe where they haven't released a sodding thing(to my knowledge). Fuck me, if I'm gonna pay 30 quid to import any of their stuff. If cds weren't so fucking overpriced I severly doubt this whole internet/music/stealing thing would arise (ok, perhaps for live/rare tracks) Mr Mungo, loving lemon slices lately --- Agnieszka wrote: > > > I agree with you Jess on that one.
